Moston Small Cinema – Finding its Feet
Feels a good time to write an update about the Moston Small Cinema project - the community screening facility we built in a former miners wash-house in North Manchester...
The iPad camera as a portal
Introducing sheltered housing residents to the video camera function on the iPad may seem like a small step, but it was a powerful experience.
Knots in our heads
Concept Maps are ‘graphical tools for organising and representing knowledge’ They were developed by Joseph D Novak at Cornell University to help students visualise how their new learning could be assimilated with their existing ‘cognitive structure’. Sowa places them within the context of knowledge visualisation diagrams, alongside Semantic nets and Mind Maps. When making a concept map, concepts represent...
Story of Moston Small Cinema
The Moston Small Cinema is the most ambitious expression yet, working with volunteers to create a permanent screening space in the heart of a community.
On Libraries
My Grandmother visited her local library, unless the weather was particularly dire, every Tuesday. This weekly pilgrimage to exchange one book for another persisted for over two decades. Why she devoted this trip to a Tuesday is beyond my reckoning, though I could guess that it was because every other day was already ascribed a task (washing,...

Introductions
My name is Becky, we may have met. I was introduced to Re-Dock through a two week internship during the Summer of 2011, organised through the University of Liverpool, where I am currently studying English. My passions can be surmised as; comics, children’s literature and folk tales, cross stitching cartoon characters, writing bad poetry and...
Swan Pedalo Broadcast – AGF
Going backwards in time a small bit: enjoy this poetry performance by AGF (aka Antye Greie) on Barrow Park Lake as part of the Full of Noises Festival 2011 (organised by Octopus Collective). (At just over 1 minute in some very startled and excited birds make an appearance – swan apocalypse!) See some a feature...
