just over two weeks left

with just over two and a half weeks to go until the festival kicks off, and with the stark reality of everything becoming increasingly apparent, the second of our education projects in schools is up and running since first being discussed over a year ago.
Today was the first day of Choices, a project run in partnership with Apples & Snakes. Contemporary poets Polarbear and John Berkavitch have spent all of today at Nether Stowe High School with three more schools to go before the week is out. One more visit to each school in a few weeks time, then everybody gets up on stage to show what they've been up to on 4 July.
Polarbear returns later in the festival for his upgraded show if i cover my nose you can't see me. It was stunning when I saw it in development at the Birmingham REP last year. Should be even more incredible now.
