Working out the logistics for the Awards ceremony for Eat the Streets Tasmania. Imagine trying to wrangle about 50 children, 12 restaurants, a choir, a group of children in a play, parents, teachers and audiences, techies, Mc's, Dj's, volunteers etc etc etc. As you can imagine it is a detailed meeting.

We had a great dinner last night at Flip Burgers, it was next door to a pub, that had a big dance floor and the kids had the best time. I also met some local arts folks and we even had a sword swallower that built the tension prior to dinner talking about his gag reflex, the kids loved to hate it.

More conversations this morning about risk and safety and how we could do something together about this exact topic.... going to spend a few days pondering - but it is clear when a good idea emerges it is time to do something about it.

It's dawning on me that the work of MDR really is a response to a "current climate" what ever that looks like. The team move with research and trends and /or lack of research and trends to locate their projects within a specific climate. This is a useful framework for understanding how work needs to be relevant, but I have not checked this theory with them, so will confirm or deny tomorrow.
