Profile Information
- Arts Forms I'm Interested in:
- Drama, Visual Arts, Music
- About Me:
- I am the press and marketing officer for Escape Artists, having joined in February 2009. Much of my time is spent working on the Syd Barrett Fund; it is me that writes the blog on the Social Arts Network.
Before EA I was a marketing assistant at the Hackney-based children’s theatre company Quicksilver.
I’m also involved in the running of the music news and reviews website www.roomthirteen.com, something I’ve done since June 2005, and between August and October 2009, worked for the Finborough Theatre in Earls Court as a press and marketing officer for a festival of new writing.
Some more information about me which may, or may not, be of interest:
I’ve attended more than 25 music festivals, including the last nine Reading or Leeds Festivals.
I once had a Foo Fighters review printed in the Independent.
I competed for England at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester in an event called 100 metres for Elite Athletes with Disabilities, and since you ask, mine is sight.
I sponsor a monkey at Monkey World in Dorset called Arfur.
I once cycled from London to Berlin as a fundraiser for Scope – as good a way as any of getting to the 2006 World Cup.
I once went up the Empire State Building in thick fog, just so I could say I’d been there.
I’m a season ticket holder at Harlequins Rugby League (rugby league is the 13 man, vastly superior version of rugby for those who weren’t sure).
My football watching takes me to Griffin Park, home of League 1 side Brentford.
Life ambitions:
To climb a really big mountain.
Would love to try bobslay.
I’ve tried on a few occasions to start to write books, but often lack of time and a fairly poor attention span knocks that one on the head.
To go to a music festival outside of the UK.

As it's 20 years today since 'A Grand Day Out', I thought I'd share this remix of the wallace and gromit theme song which chris moyles used to play on his Capital Radio show about 15 years ago.

What is SANe?
Think of SANe as a meta- network, an adhocracy, for people, organisations and other networks that are working in the field of arts and social action. The only requirement for joining SANe is that you have an interest in the arts as a means for raising awareness: a way of groping towards a collective super-ego or social mind.

The network is managed by Escape Artists, as you know, and is open to everyone. Next step, simply invite any friends you may know of in the arts and any others that may have a participatory interest to join your arts network.
The Social Arts Network uses and is built on a platform similar to other well-known social networks, such as MySpace, Facebook and YouTube. The Network supports both still images and video and has been developed to scale easily to support actively extensive global growth of the network.
Please feel free to share your artistic talent by uploading your photos, videos, music and research papers; and/or also start your own forum or group.
Many thanks,
James Mickelson
