Something a bit different for #WorldWetlandsDay this year. Thought we’d combine my love of wetlands with @jerrymoorecostume.bsky.social amazing puppet making skills and make: “The Old Man of the Wetland” complete with his sphagnum-inspired staff! Might need to write him a back story now…

Did you know… In the seventeenth century, it was quite proper to leave your Christmas decorations up until Candlemas Eve - February 1st - according to the poet Robert Herrick, at least. So I hope you haven’t all been too hasty in taking them down.

Can’t be repeated often enough ‘The UK’s creative industries are vital to the economy. Valued at £124bn, they are worth more than the life sciences, aerospace and automotive industries combined. Arts and culture alone contribute an impressive £34.6bn.’ on.ft.com/42hzVmL

I thought I was going mad, but then realised a book I have, that was published in 2020, is exactly the same as a book by the same author, but with different titles and publishers, published in 2004. I can’t quite work out how they got away with that! #research #phdresearch

10 Questions About Theater in 2025
The year 2025 begins with some short-term questions about theater – the fate of “Warriors,” the effect of “Wicked”?– and more long-term ones – what new leadership will mean to Off-Broadway? how celebrity-packing will affect Broadway? -- provoked by issues, trends and events from 2024. I’ve done such a post every New Year’s Day since 2020, when I first explored possible future trends underneath the illustration above, which is entitled “Eye Enclosing The Theatre At Besancon France,” an engraving made in 1847 by Claude Nicolas Ledoux (1736-1806.)

Historic dress can be an unreliable narrator of its own story & it takes the quest of looking to follow traces of its past. This dress was originally made in the 1830s, its silhouette testament to origins but stitch lines & shapes offer the mark of later, 1850s, alterations #augustaauctions 🗃️🪡

I don't see many long threads on here, but I'll try one - it's about Holbein's Ambassadors, his 1533 masterpiece in the National Gallery. It's often presented as a great mystery, but I think once we understand the circumstances in which it was made, its meaning becomes clearer. 1/
