DanceUK, the UK dance advocacy group, is relaunching its Dance Vote website or re-tasking it, whichever you prefer. It first appeared pre-election to get prospective candidates to voice their support for dance. On this occasion the aim is to get elected muppets MPs to, once again, voice their support for dance which faces possible cuts […]
by Neil Nisbet Trying to make a salient point on a rapid fire radio programme is no easy task, as I found out the hard way whilst appearing on a live programme a few weeks ago on BBC Radio 4. Summing up important arguments about why funding the arts is actually a really good idea […]
Now, we wanted to be a bit more blunt with the headline by way of an expletive orientated intensifier to make it “Jeremy Hunt is a F****** Idiot”.

Now the title of this campaign might be a little on the melodramatic side but the intention is a least honourable. Organised by the Turning Point Network in London the idea is to get some high profile artists (whatever that means) to create work advocating the arts to politicians and joe public before they get […]

Politics, shopping, film, television, etc are all surveyed to oblivion but can a series of questions directed at a random number of people ever truly reflect a […]
64 people have been taken to hospital this past Monday suffering from a variety of maladies ranging from catatonia to severe stroke following a mass reading of the latest press release from The Place concerning The Place Prize®™.
