BURNING MAN FESTIVAL
This month saw the organisers of Burning Man Festival announce that the festival will be going virtual this year. In a video announcement from Burning Man Project’s CEO Marian Goodell, it is explained that “Burning man is a culture, it’s a movement. We’re not defined by one aspect of Burning Man”. We are excited to see how this pans out and this shows yet another example of innovation in the face of adversity in the events and hospitality arena.
SECRET SOFA
At JustSeventy we are big fans of Secret Cinema, making yearly team trips to their immersive cinema experiences. This year they were screening Dirty Dancing, which was opening in July, although now on hold due to the lockdown. Instead, the company is hosting themed Zoom parties in order to raise money for charity. The first party was 80’s themed, with a host and 2 DJ’s!
All you have to do is sign up to their subscription email and they will send you all the tools needed to create your own pocket of this universe. From character and costume suggestions to era-defining music and activities to food and drink ideas, how far you go is up to you. At 19:30 (BST) on Friday, thousands of households hit play at the same time to watch some of the greatest films together.
At just £5 a ticket, the Secret Sofa experience is only running for 8 weeks and not something to miss!
ONE FOR THE KIDS!
One of our industry peers Steven Vinacour has recently published his first Children’s book Ted And His Time-Travelling Toilet. Prior to lockdown, Steven was touring UK schools and sharing Ted’s antics with children up and down the country. The fun however, has not stopped and every weekday at 17:00 (BST) Steven hosts a live madcap creative writing show with a goal – to create a novel. All the ideas come from the viewers and Steven, as author, puts them together to create a story. It all happens on Facebook Live HERE. Those of you with young kids with vivid imaginations should get involved in the fun!
