country to support and celebrate freelancers and contractors.

Crunch.co.uk/Freelance Advisor, Contractor Mortgages Made Easy and the
Farm are getting together to help the PCG put on the Brighton event. As
Brighton and Hove have the highest per capita number of freelancers in
the country, our night will of course be the best ;-)

It'll start at 7.30pm on Monday 23rd November in the Eagle pub. There
will be a few talks, a long networking session with plenty of beer and
lots of interesting people to meet. This is going out to PCG members as
well as our normal lists so there should be a load of new people to meet
on the night who don't usually come out to Brighton's new media groups.

If you're a freelancer, contractor, or interested in becoming one,
please come along. It'll be a great night.

This is a must-go-to event for any fledgling director to get the most out of his or her cast.

In this one day workshop, Maurice will take you through the process of establishing a creative and collaborative relationship with your actors.

You will learn how to get the most out of a performance through rehearsals, how to troubleshoot poor interpretation, and how to give brief and incisive direction to the actor.

In addition there will be discussions in what constitutes a good performance, what actors need from a director, scene analysis, subtext, and the director/actor relationship.

There will also be practical demonstrations using a film camera and professional working actors of scene blocking and choreography for the camera.

Amongst the many actors Maurice has worked with are Clive Owen, Dennis Hopper, Gene Wilder, Richard Prior, Gweneth Patrow, Elizabeth Perkins, John Hannah, David Hemmings, Michael Fassbender, Trevor Eve, and James Nesbitt.

Legible London: When is a wayfinding system the answer to a city's economic future?
Patricia Brown & Kasper de Graaf

This talk will focus on the capital's nascent wayfinding system, looking at the strategic rationale for a unified tool to support walking in the capital and an update on the development of the system so far. Read more about the Legible London project.

Talk 2
The future of wayfinding
Cennydd Bowles

We've got pretty good at helping people find their way through today's digital world. Information architecture, taking cues from physical architecture, has built a toolkit of wayfinding aids including menus, breadcrumbs, signage. But things are about to get a lot more interesting.

The boundaries between the abstract digital world and the real physical world are becoming blurred. GPS has made the A-Z map redundant. RFID chips will soon enable a world of "spimes", where our environment can tell us all about itself and how we should interact with it. Geolocation offers an immersive augmented reality where data combines with space in revolutionary ways. Our landmarks are now both physical and digital. One day, a church spire; the next, a WiFi cloud. Our old wayfinding methods will soon be as outdated as the sextant.

Even now, people are beginning to use new technology to annotate and enrich their surroundings. Location-driven technology is most powerful in the hands of local users, and it is our responsibility as designers to ensure that these systems are accessible, collaborative and safe.

Given this quantum leap, we need new approaches to wayfinding, information scent and navigation. This session will explore how we can we use information architecture to shape the chaos. How can we design systems for both the digital and physical world that allow users to orientate themselves, understand the choices available, and feel at home?

Participants will take away a new understanding of the exciting challenges ahead of us, including the role of mobile devices, the ubiquitous information age, and the privacy implications of our new location-critical lives.

How do I get a ticket?

"Few people are generally aware that Isaac Newton (1642-1727) believed that his most significant scientific research concerned the relationship between the mind and the body, rather than mathematical physics of the Principia. By understanding how we moved our own bodies, Newton believed that we could understand both how God had created the world, and also how he intervened in the cosmos on a daily basis. This private research embraced his early alchemical work as well as later work written up in drafts of the 'Queries' to the various editions of his Opticks."

The ride usually goes along the beach from the west wall of Brighton Marina to the King Alfred Centre and beyond (or vice versa), or as far as you and your bike can make it.

Time and tide wait for no-one, so if you can't make it to the start, join the ride en route. The ride sets off 30 minutes after meeting, so as to catch the lowest tide and the sunrise. If starting from the Marina, the ride will probably pass under Brighton Pier another 30 minutes after that, if you'd like to meet there.

Following August 2007's Low Tide Naked Critical Mash-Up bike ride, the event is clothing-optional, and riders often go for a skinny-dip in the sea at the end of the ride.

For evening rides, participants can adjourn for drinks afterwards at The Neptune pub.

Bring bikes, waterproofs, warm clothes, towels and lights. Remember to thoroughly wash the salt and sand off your bike afterwards. If you're worried about using your own bike, pick a scrap one up from a skip.

Example tide and sun times from 22 August 2009:

12:58 am BST High tide 7.01 Meters
5:58 am BST Sunrise
7:21 am BST Low tide 0.43 Meters
1:23 pm BST High tide 7.12 Meters
