Hotel Medea
01 November 2010
Now this one is really for the night owls, or insomniacs; certainly not the faint-hearted. Hotel Medea is a new, not to say irreverent take on the Greek myth that turns it into a Brazilian street party.
Orchestra in a Weekend

The search is on to find talented musicians in the hope of forming an orchestra in a weekend. Percussionists, wind and string players are invited to come together for a performance at a musical festival.
London - Hotel Medea
01 November 2010
Hotel Medea, reviewed previously by Londonist, is back in town. If you didn't catch it last time we can assure you that this time is not to be missed. Beginning at midnight and lasting until dawn, Hotel Medea is an interactive promenade performance that starts with a Thames river crossing and ends with breakfast in the hazy morning light of the Docklands.

In 2000 my old and very dear friend Jem Finer created a piece of music that would play continuosly for 1000 years. It is still playing at Trinity Buoy Wharf in East London. In 2009 he staged a live performance of an exerpt from it lasting 1000 minutes. It is one of the most surreal and evocative pieces of music I have ever heared.

New not-for-profit school chain is a class apart
01 November 2010
As school buses go, an old tug boat is the stuff of children's picture books. Imagine it chuntering across the Thames at eight in the morning as it heads away from the hubristic O2 centre towards the historic Docklands buildings of Trinity Buoy Wharf, and you pretty much have an adventure up and running before you have even set foot on dry land.
