Photo: Steve Tanner WELCOME 2016 – a momentous year – in which the world celebrated the richness of Shakespeare’s legacy 400 years after his death. Shakespeare’s Globe is proud to have played a part in those celebrations in 197 countries and led the festivities in London, where Shakespeare wrote and worked. Our Globe to Globe Hamlet tour travelled 193,000 miles before coming home for a final emotional performance in the Globe to mark the end, not just of this phenomenal worldwide journey, but the artistic handover from Dominic Dromgoole to Emma Rice. A memorable season of late Shakespeare plays in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse and two outstanding Globe transfers in the West End ran concurrently with the last leg of the Globe to Globe Hamlet tour. On Shakespeare’s birthday, 23 April, we welcomed President Obama to the Globe. Actors performed scenes from the late plays running in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at Southwark Cathedral, a service which was the only major civic event to mark the anniversary in London and was attended by our Patron, HRH the Duke of Edinburgh.

  • Mima Press Release Coming up on the Evening of Saturday 27
    mima Press Release 22 September 2014 mima live, Saturday 27 September 2014 – Monotony, Brown Brogues, Milky Wimpshake & Sorry Escalator Coming up on the evening of Saturday 27 September is the return of mima live, a free event which is a part of the town-wide Middlesbrough Live. With a line up which includes BBC Radio 6 Music darlings Monotony, alongside Brown Brogues, Milky Wimpshake & Sorry Escalator, this year’s event should be not one to miss. These bands have been handpicked by our mima Live curator Nicky Peacock as the best up and coming acts of this year – apart from Milky Wimpshake who have always been brilliant. Monotony is a four piece punk outfit from London and Brighton who are taking BBC Radio 6 Music by storm, getting daily plays on the Marc Riley show. Monotony is a side project of the garage racket band Sauna Youth in which they all switched instruments. Their glorious garage racket has caught the attention of Colin Newman of iconic post-punk band Wire, who cites them as his new favourite band. They are joined by Manchester’s Brown Brogues - two men making savage garage sounds with drums, guitar and primitive hollering. They wrestle, they swear and they spectacularly outshone indie superstars The Kills on a recent US tour - your mum wouldn't like them but we do. Next in the line-up is one of the UKs best loved indie pop bands Milky Wimpshake. Forever relevant, they continue to be purveyors of ‘love songs for punk rockers’. Fronted by Pete Dale, of the much-loved and legendary DIY label Slampt – he ruled the Newcastle scene for most of the ‘90s and introduced us to bands such as Kenickie (featuring broadcaster Lauren Laverne), Yummy Fur (featuring members of Franz Ferdinand) and Pussycat Trash.

However, the positioning of the new Discovery has a new customer in its sites, Danielle – married to Mark – a mother, a high earner and probably the key family decision maker. Danielle’s matriarchal dominance does not though, reduce the role of Mark. Mark still brings in the bacon (well, some of it), drives the car and wants something tangible and techy to brag about to his mates. Danielle and Mark 3 THE INFLUENCERS Who will be our Danielle and Mark? Subsequently, we need to source a couple, familiar and appealing to both Danielle and Mark, with whom we can share the discovery of new Discovery. A couple whose relationship is based on an equal share of success and profile, who compliment each other in person, yet differ enough to ensure the odd frisson of friction with frequent engaging exchanges of opinion.

  • Blurred Lines: Exploring Contemporary Attitudes to Gender Portrayal in the Media James Bryson and David Bunker Market Research Society Annual Conference, 2015
    Blurred lines: Exploring contemporary attitudes to gender portrayal in the media James Bryson and David Bunker Market Research Society Annual Conference, 2015 Title: Blurred lines: Exploring contemporary attitudes to gender portrayal in the media Author(s): James Bryson and David Bunker Source: Market Research Society Issue: Annual Conference, 2015 Blurred lines: Exploring contemporary attitudes to gender portrayal in the media James Bryson and David Bunker MTM and BBC Television Gender and society Despite major changes in the circumstances and attitudes of both men and women over the last 50 years the issue of gender is still very much alive in British society today – and not just in the realm of the media. There are still significant gaps in pay (women currently earn, on average, £2.53 less per hour than men do, which equates to 80 pence for every pound a man is paid1) and the British Social Attitudes survey shows that there is still a lot further to go in pursuit of equality in the home (60% of women report doing more than their fair share of the housework compared with just 15% of men2) For women in particular, our qualitative research identified a range of areas in contemporary life where gender-related problems were a cause for concern for. These include: l Life balance – a societal expectation that women should be able to 'have it all' in terms of a career and family, which can put immense pressure on working mums (and, to a lesser extent, dads) l Body image – a pre-occupation with physical appearance and body size (e.g.
