Moved already!

I have decided to base my main blog on my new working name 'knicci'. I will be blogging under knicci from now on. The link is www.knicci.blogspot.com. Thanks my one follower!

Pulse Festival, Ipswich

Last night I went to a Pulse Festival event with my friend Carol, this one was called Lovedrunk, and we weren't quite sure what to expect. However, we were pleasantly surprised and it was actually really brilliant. There was one guy on stage, and on the theme of loving somebody who no longer loves you, he used diagologue, theatre, video, music and a bit of dance as a response to the theme. The result was funny, sad, clever and poignant.

Last week we saw the double dance bill Cope and Two by Two. Again Two by Two was excellent and the intimacy of the Wolsey studio allowed you to get really close to the dance and almost feel part of it. Cope turned out to be a work in progress and was based on domestic violence. We both found it very difficult to watch and I can't really see who it would appeal to, on any level.

For £5 though, both events were great value and gave the audiance the chance to take a risk on some completely unknowns.

Let the blogging begin!

Having just completed the 2nd year of a Graphic Design Degree at University Campus Suffolk, I thought it was about time I got into a bit of 'social media networking'! I now have Flickr, Redbubble, Delicious, Facebook and Twitter accounts. God only knows how I will find the time to keep up with them all!

My user name has kind of stuck by default as this is my greyhound's Twitter account name, and it seemed easier to keep them all the same - obviously I'm not actually a hound! My real name is Nicki and I am a somewhat mature student.

I have to say that I am a bit bemused by all this sharing - not sure how much any viewer will learn about the real me, but hey, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em! It was a little perturbing to see 4 pages of results displayed when I did a search on my real name - big brother and all that!

It just remains to be be seen whether I actually have anything interesting, funny or useful to impart (that I can share anyway!).
