Summary of discussion, conclusions and/or
recommendations:
I began by sharing my interest in the work and life of
Alan Turing, this was sparked by a Channel 4 Drama Documentary about his life,
broadcast in 2011. 2012 is his centenary year.
I shared my surprise that the arts community have not,
yet responded to this event.
He was a remarkable man who was persecuted by the
state and should be known and celebrated today as the genius he was.
The debate raised ideas and issues that I had not
previously considered also issues it
also helped me focus on a possible way forward for the development of this
idea.
I feel I have made some valuable contacts and will be
keeping in touch.
D&D is just brilliant, this is my first time and
can see its immense value. I now feel this project is a real possibility. Being
able to get it out of my head and shared with interested people already has
moved the idea forward.
The end of the session became a fascinating
conversation between four of us about the application of technology and video
in the theatre space – bonus!
FYI: uni of surrey has a statue of Alan Turing in it’s main
sq. Could use as a stimulus?
Ps if Dermot reads this I’d like to get involved. Sorry I
didn’t make it to the session guleraana mir (email address on the sheet on the
wall)
