		<title>A distant rumble</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
If the experience of playing a game is intended, for the most part, to be joyful, then consider that the experience of attempting to create a game – from scratch – involves much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Planning and brain-bashing for the Larkin' About and Library Theatre Company commission continues. How to estimate a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Glassy eyed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wandering around Manchester Town Hall today on my lunch break, hoping that inspiration might strike to help me build upon my commission by Larkin' About and Library Theatre Company for the Manchester Histories Festival. This is very much how my brain feels right now. A swirling pool whirlpool of research and ideas that needs to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain, but had the unlucky fella had a slice of Teacup's festive rainbow Battenburg, he might have not minded quite so much. Strictly for grown-ups only.

		<title>Larkin&#8217; About &amp; Library Theatre</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I received news of a brilliant early Christmas present. I've been selected following an open call for proposals to collaborate with local pervasive gaming collective Larkin' About in partnership with The Library Theatre Company to create my own dollop of in-situ, explorative silliness as part of Manchester Histories Festival 2012. The festival will see [...]]]></description>

		<title>Abstract Lego Sculpture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The idea for an Abstract Lego Sculpture Workshop in response to artist Rashid Rana’s first UK public solo exhibition at Cornerhouse came to me when I first saw his new body of photo-sculpture works; ordinary, even average domestic objects that had been regressed to the razor edge of visual legibility. The use of block pixels [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Barbara Nice Afternoon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my present role I’ve been on a good few artist and/or curator talks this past year alone, and almost always encounter the same problem: the tour group is made up of people with an enthusiastic albeit untutored interest in art (I include myself in this group), whilst the host is usually dripping, drenched, nay [...]]]></description>
