New Media Douchebag

Also known as Social Media Experts or everyone who uses Twitter to talk at length about Twitter

Enough already!

Dear Birmingham.

In response to your recent plans to demolish the Flapper: I do not want any more fucking shops or luxury apartments or restaurant. Seriously, how many H&M’s or Nando’s’ do you need within a mile radius? Please, just go away and leave our entertainment venues alone!

He is a genius! And here’s why:

CV Dilema

I was at the pub today with Vickie Wood of CECI, discussing the next performance, when I thought I’d bring up the question about how to mention the previous performance on my CV. Do I say that I worked with CECI, as part of CECI, collaborated with, performed with or as part of or some other terminology? I only asked this because I don’t want to take credit for work that I’ve had minimal input in.

I’ll put it into a perspective bit more. When I first performed with Insectoid and CECI I didn’t have any input other than my performing of their piece. So, for that I’d just say I performed with them. However, as I’ve gotten to know the work more I’m at the point where I’m helping make decisions about future work. So, what do I say then? Have I collaborated with them, worked with them or performed with them?

What does everyone else in arty/blogging land think? I may be being a tad bit over cautious, but I really don’t want it to seem like I’m taking credit for anyone elses work.
