Reverberations across Small-Scale British Theatre: Politics, Aesthetics and Forms
Between 1960 and 2010, a new generation of British avant-garde theatre companies, directors, designers, and performers emerged. Some of these companies and individuals have endured to become part of theatre history while others have disappeared from the scene, mutated into new forms, or become part of the establishment. Reverberations across Small-Scale British Theatre at long last puts these small-scale British theatre companies and personalities in the scholarly spotlight. By questioning what 'Britishness' meant in relation to the small-scale work of these practitioners, contributors articulate how it is reflected in the goals, manifestos, and aesthetics of these companies.
An exploration into the role of fitness in physical theatre actor training
Stemming from a personal interest in fitness, this thesis examines the role fitness plays 
within physical theatre and relative actor training routes. 
A number of case studies are used including the work of Jacques Lecoq and Frantic Assembly, as well as other central figures in physical theatre and actor training. From these case studies the thesis draws out key principles of physical theatres and looks to identify to what extent fitness can enhance or limit these principles. Other benefits and limitations are considered that have relevance to wider the context of theatre and actor training. 
The case studies also accompany some independent practical work that ran alongside the written research. This was an eight-month program working with four actors to implement fitness exercises in a practical actor-training/rehearsal process. The actors’ comments are used to give insight to the difference that fitness made to their development.
FlowBrush: optical flow art
The depiction of motion in static representations has a long tradition in art and science alike. Often, motion is depicted by spatio-temporal summarizations that try to preserve as much information of the original dynamic content as possible. In our approach to depicting motion, we remove the spatial constraints and generate new content steered by the temporal changes in motion. Applying particle steering in combination with the dynamic color palette of the video content, we can create a wide range of different image styles. With recorded videos, or by live interaction with a webcam, one can influence the resulting image. We provide a set of intuitive parameters to affect the style of the result, the final image content depends on the video input. Based on a collection of results gathered from test users, we discuss example styles that can be achieved with FlowBrush. In general, our approach provides an open sandbox for creative people to generate aesthetic images from any video content they apply.
