SAVE THE DATES! Digital 2012, the national conference for the creative and digital industries in Scotland is about to launch its registrations. Co-produced by Interactive Scotland and AmbITion Scotland, our own Hannah Rudman will be opening the conference on 29th March at an evening networking party at the SECC before the conference commences on 30th March, where we'll be running a couple of workshops, also at SECC.


AmbITion Scotland participant Stellar Quines theatre company is venturing into the world of live streaming. They are live streaming on Thursday 26 January from the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh. The List by Jennifer Tremblay will be rehearsed during the day by directors Muriel Romanes and Emma Faulkner and actress Maureen Beattie, then given a rehearsed reading in the evening followed by a discussion in Traverse Two. Stellar Quines continue to uphold their aspirations of making the most of digital opportunities for increasing the reach and scale of their work - watch this case study of their experiments so far.

The sections being live streamed are two hours of the rehearsal in the afternoon, 2pm – 4pm, and the evening performance and discussion which will start at 7.30pm and end by 9pm. There will be an attached moderated chat room, linked twitter etc., and you can view it all through the website for Stellar Quines' next show ANA. Do join them online or in person!
