I assume others had problems accessing the forum last night and getting this 'Too many connections' alert. Seems ok this morning. The Powers say 'This was not related to your specific site in this case and has been resolved, sorry for the trouble.'

Flight Pattern has lost none of its emotional heft on me since last we saw it …
Incidentally there's a very illuminating interview with Crystal Pite from 2017 which I don't remember hearing at the time.

You may have noticed today that we have lost the pesky 'Not secure' notice in the address bar at the top of your browser window and there is now a padlock symbol instead. This is because, as on most other websites these days, security has been increased by implementing what is known as SSL encryption. This means that communication in both directions between your computer or device and the server that houses the site is now encrypted so that where previously a snooper could intercept and potentially read the data that is no longer possible. (Though the likelihood of that happening was always negligible.)
The forum's complete address is now https://www.balletcoforum.com - note the https rather than http – s for secure. If you have saved links to the site you may want to edit them to include the s, but they will still work even if you don't and the encryption function doesn't depend on the address.
I noticed that windows I had open on my computer overnight needed to be reloaded but otherwise no significant changes.

Came across this event via Twitter. Seems to be a panel discussion staged in partnership with UNHCR. The description starts "What role should the arts play in raising our awareness of a global crisis? How can the arts provoke action in the face of record-high displacement on a global scale?" Plainly relates to the Flight Pattern triple bill.
Still many tickets available.

Foteini Christofilopoulou was at the International Draft Works 2019 photocall…
Note that we have done the best we can with captioning a shoot involving many dancers and companies – what we have already represents much hard work.
