• Keeping it local: regional theatre needs new media | Stage | guardian.co.uk
  
  “The challenge for arts organisations outside London is to embrace the blogosphere, and fast. I think we need to work hard to nurture the brave souls who are often spending their free time running what’s-on sites and blogs – invite them to our shows, treat them like proper journalists, buy them lunch, encourage our suppliers to buy advertising space on their websites, link to their sites from ours and so on. If we help listings sites and blogs to grow, we’re safeguarding the future of arts criticism.”

Would suit offices, training, etc. * Large Studios — beautiful rooms benefitting from on street access with excellent light and original features. suitable as studios, offices, shop, training, galleries etc. The pricing ranges, and the School can discuss this if there is an interest.
