...exposing yourself to as much serendipity, as much argument and conversation, as many rival and related ideas as possible; to borrow, to repurpose, to recombine... good ideas happen in networks....

Literacy is:...the making of meaning and its clear communication to others. Truly literate people not only read and write, but regularly do so in order to sort out their ideas and put them into words, to fit them together and test hypothesis - i.e. to make sense and meaning out of our world. Truly literate people acknowledge that they need to write things down, to talk them out, to read widely, to listen critically and respond articulately. Truly literate people are thinkers and learners.”

Brown & Mathie, 1990

If it ain’t on the page, then it ain’t on the stage...media projects are a great way to sneak writing in under the radar.’
