Stroke-PR is Creative.

I have gained an extensive creative experience working in a range of roles with record labels, bands, theatre's, youth groups and festivals. Amongst other things I have established a record label, managed a ten piece band, worked with Californian and German record labels and promoted musicians from Detroit and New York. Finally in 2010, I set up Larkin' About, Manchester's first pervasive gaming company.

In 2011 I went rogue in The Scottish Highlands, had a baby, and continue to explore the many (ad)ventures and ideas that float my boat. I am open to suggestions, just use the Ask Me Anything page or get in touch...

These are links to other sites and things I recommend:

LARKIN’ ABOUT

Stroke_PR is the founder of Larkin’ About based in Manchester.  Larkin’ About is an on-going collaboration between theatre practitioners, digital artists,  live artists and game players.  In the spirit of New York’s Come Out and Play and London’s Hide and Seek gaming  festivals, Larkin’ About was conceived as Manchester’s first festival dedicated to pervasive gaming. 

TED.COM

TED is a nonprofit organisation aiming to promote ‘ideas worth spreading’.  Originally focussed on Technology, Entertainment, Design, it has widened its scope and comprises of a series of conference events as well as an incredible online resource of talks from the worlds most progressive minds.  

LUDOCITY

is a collection of pervasive games, street games and new sports - social forms of play that take place in public spaces, such as city streets, parks and public buildings.

Some of the games on Ludocity overlap with theatre, painting, dance, and other art forms. Some of them use balloons, lumps of coal, huge sheets of paper, mp3 players, elaborate costumes, and short-range radio broadcasts. All of them have had their rules released under a creative commons licence, giving everyone permission to run that game for free, wherever and whenever they like.


INSIDER FESTIVAL

Insider Festival, June annually. Live music in the grounds of Inshriach House, near Aviemore in the Scottish Highlands. Anarchic, beautiful and other worldly.
