Episode Synopsis

I chat to Philippa about her work with Talking Birds theatre company in Coventry and especially the invention of a mobile captioning system - The Difference Engine.  With this system, people can get captions on their phones which is particularly useful for smaller arts organisations (it's very reasonable!), and for events held in unusual spaces.  Philippa also talks about how they created a Citizens Assembly during the Coventry City of Culture which means local people now have a say in the artistic and creative vision for the city.LinksTalking Birds Theatre Companyhttps://talkingbirds.co.ukThe Difference Enginehttps://talkingbirds.co.uk/deShoot Festival, Access Coventry, and Artists’ Manifestohttps://www.coventryshootfestival.com/access-coventry Thanks for listening!
