2 days at the annual #BritCult2025 conference. There was a sense of urgency among those of us who practice queer studies not only but perhaps especially as queer individuals in times where our fellows‘ mere being is perceived as a threat (to what exactly, though?) in many parts of the world.

dear theatre, join the 20th century. in the 21st. commit fully, finally, consistently to broadcast and livestream as well as digitally native work. share the art form with the world. all of it. the conventional, unconventional, the weird, the singular.

Bye bye London, I love you with a quiet fierceness for providing theatre, queer books, chats with friends and (a small selection of) English foods that only taste nice here❣️

What a wonderful time at the #CDE2024 on #digitaltheatre in Innsbruck: discussions on virtual #co-presence, #viralrealism and #care - in front of a lovely scenery! Thanks to the organizers and participants, it’s been sublime, thought-provoking, and communal.

Keynote by @heidilulie.bsky.social about "Politics of Care in a Digital Age: What remains after Viral Theatre" with an inspiring reading of "How it Ends" by @csvich.bsky.social at #CDE2024. How to move forward after the incision theatre and we all have experienced? Only together.
