Hello, hello! 🌞
Today marks exactly THREE months until the world premiere of ‘not for glory’ at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe as part of Assembly Festival at Dance Base (DB3)
⚠️ 11 - 23 AUG, 19:45 ⚠️
not for glory is a rebellious unravelling of traditional dance and music. Its bodies and bagpipes, kilts and queerness, a battering, flinging skirl.
This dance-theatre gig resuscitates tradition, dissects heritage, not for glory - but for what?

✨This week, we have Hannah Draper in residence, working on 'the slower we go, the faster we get there'.
Hannah will explore improvisation as a way to access different states safely and exploratively – letting the body reveals things before the mind knows them, or logic can decide what happens next.
How can resilience and understanding be built through the body and in relation to one another? How does improvisation practice support us to move safely through different states of nervous system activation in the body? How do we stay connected through difference, difficult feelings and change? How can dance resource us, how can we resource the dance?
Join Hannah this Friday 22 May for a residency sharing - book on the Artist Residencies page on our website!

Pro Workshop: Exploring ESPE with Jen Wren ✨
On Wednesday 27 May, join Jen for a multidisciplinary workshop themed around her current project 'ESPE'.
Taking influence from cultural and artistic practices of Scottish, Cape Breton, Irish and Spanish traditions, ESPE tells the tale of a traveller through dance, song, text, crafts and music.
The work explores themes of identity, heritage, belonging, neurodiversity and bullying, and is emerging through sharing work-in-progress with communities in different geographic and social contexts.
During the workshop you can expect to be guided through some of the processes Jen uses to explore and develop new thematic movement material that sits at the intersection of traditional and contemporary dance, integrating storyline, rhythm and song or text.
📆Wednesday 27 May 2026
🕐11:00-12:30
🎟️Free

View Instagram Stories in Secret
The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
