John Dolan is leading that project for us as it applies to the incredible collections that we have - including the RSC's. I am sure that you are right that we need to build relationships with these on-line communities to enrich both our own activities and those communities. We are just a bit unsure about how to do it....... Hi Pete, fascinating and just what we are grappling with at the SBT where i work as director.

This is part of work I'm doing with the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust looking at how their work, and the colelctions in particular, can be opened up to more people in more ways. What Tom showed us and what you're doing here illustrates the huge opportuntiies to further open up globally. Perhaps we could have a conversation about what you and Mark are doing and connect with the SBT's thinking. do get in touch. John Pete, I organised the workshop that Tom presented at.

It's all about distributing ownership and recognising innovation and great ideas. I mean, does anyone 'own' shakespeare?

I think Mark’s comments about cultural institutions facilitating and enabling broader creative activity is absolutely right. It’s all about distributing ownership and recognising innovation and great ideas.

I mean, does anyone ‘own’ shakespeare?

You could probably do the same exercise in several different languages. It seems to me that what were talking about here isnt the RSC pushing content donw the pipeline to audiences - it does that enough in its theatres, but in sharing its content and expertise on a platform where Shakespeare enthusiasts come together to co-create. Be great to hear some other voices here... Mark Pete,
