The Laptop Tour; Redefining classical music performance spaces.
No full textThe greatest challenge facing performers today is that of reaching an audience - particularly given expectations of availability and access as digital natives come of age. The Laptop Tour consists of a continuing project focussing upon solo performances from non-traditional concert spaces, creating a flexible approach to touring that challenges the conventions of the classical music concert. A single performance can be experienced in up to three ways: physically in the space, live streaming and archive access. This approach makes it possible to build a diverse following, creating an approach that can bring this art form not only to the urban world, but physical and virtual venues in the rural context - traditionally an arena under-served in terms of live performance. The project has a large potential for real world and digital community address whilst bridging genres

Conclusion to Difficult Death, Dying, and the Dead in Media and Culture
No full textThis chapter concludes the book Difficult Death, Dying and the Dead in Media and Culture. We reflect upon the overall themes of the book, considering the ways in which the public and private converge when we begin to look at the difficulties of death and dying. The chapter looks towards the ways in which we interact with death, dying and the dead through varied media—exploring the concepts of celebrity, online interactions with mortality, the differences and divides between real and fictional death, and audiences’ connections to death as entertainment and distraction. We identify that the recording or capturing of death and reactions to it creates a stasis, with such stasis and ongoing access and potential to revisit images of death presenting a challenge to the concept of privacy when considering loss. We find that death in media and culture is a matter of context, with a personal relationship of navigation and negotiation for each member of the audience often at the centre of experience

Introduction to Difficult Death, Dying and the Dead in Media and Culture
No full textThis chapter introduces the book Difficult Death, Dying and the Dead in Media and Culture. We reflect on the terms ‘difficult death’, ‘dying’ and the ‘dead’ and their potential meanings and we explore some of the challenges of writing about death in mediated form. We consider the difference between media and culture in the context of death studies and draw on a range of scholarship to consider the mediation of death, dying and the dead in culture. We provide a summary of each of the chapters included within the collection, and some suggestions on how you might approach the reading of the book. We argue that the terms ‘difficult death’, ‘dying’ and ‘the dead’ are contingent ones, and, for example, that what constitutes a difficult death will be culturally and socially relative, as well as dependent on a series of individual factors including life experiences and expectations. We suggest that when death is constructed as difficult, it is often so because it occurs at the nexus of myriad forms of social inequality that function as mechanisms of systemic marginalisation in life and in death
