Tin Talks Judging: Should judges have to do a showcase to prove they are valid?
In different competitive dance communities, this subject is addressed in different ways. Is the showcase a 'real time' tool for to show of we should believe in the judge? Do showcases take up too much time?
I'd love to hear from competitors, event organisers and judges on this subject. State your case below! 💁🏾♂️
What subject should we cover next?

So I was asking the judges showcase is always relevant or important appropriate as it were. I think that judges showcases can add something to an event. They may also not be necessary at at an event. It can be nice for someone to show that they show what they do. It could be inspiring for others. At the same time. Some judges a judge made, maybe like I want to show what I do. And that might actually have an adverse effect on the energy of the event. Every circumstance is different, you know, so it's not really a hard and fast response to whether the judges showcase should be done. I mean, I don't mind. But some people do mind, and I don't think you need to be able to do a showcase to be a good judge. I don't think both of those things need to be connected. I think if you could be impartial and you understand what you're looking at and how to judge that stuff, then you're valid.
One thing I'd say is, after being a judge a few times I know judges have a Bias
they rate favourably for people who dance the way they like, which is often the way they dance,
so I've used peoples judge showcase to gauge what in the dance I need to show in my round for that judge to vote favourably for me
And it often works

What does the Bible say about who is in hell?
Sacred Scripture does not tell us the names of any particular individuals who are in hell, but it repeatedly affirms that hell is real and people go there.
Acts 24:15, for example, reminds us that “there will be a resurrection of both the just and the unjust.” In 2 Thessalonians 1:9.
David Lammy Foreign Secretary for the UK Government, suspends 30 arms export licences to Israel after review.
“This comes at a time when we fight a war on seven different fronts – a war that was launched by a savage terrorist organisation, unprovoked.”
“At a time when we mourn six hostages who were executed in cold blood by Hamas inside tunnels in Gaza.”
At a time when we fight to bring #101hostages#home.”
Matthew 6:24
“No one can serve two masters, since either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
#The#Social#Power#Index, compiled each year by the upper class style bible Tatler, is the familiar home of billionaires, dukes and it girls, and for the past two years has been topped by #King#Charles#and#Queen#Camilla, described as “the power, the glory and the gatekeepers” of British high society.
Which has made the appearance of one name near the top of this year’s list something of a surprise: that of Labours foreign secretary David Lammy.
No definitive conclusion has been reached about whether UK arms export licences have contributed to the destruction in the territory.
The UK foreign secretary, David Lammy, said it applied to 30 of the 350 existing arms licences, but would almost entirely exclude all UK components for the F-35 fighter jet programme, seen as a significant loophole by pro-Palestinian groups.

Day 331. Just heartbreak today.
6 hostages held for almost 11 months.
And brutally murdered by Hamas just days ago.
- Hersh Goldberg-Polin (23), kidnapped from the Nova festival.
- Eden Yerushalmi (24), kidnapped from the Nova festival.
- Ori Danino (25), kidnapped from the Nova festival.
- Carmel Gat (40), kidnapped from Kibbutz Be’eri.
- Almog Sarusi (27), kidnapped from the Nova festival.
- Alex Lubnov (32), kidnapped from the Nova festival.
A devastating end to the horror endured by these six hostages.
101+ hostages are still being held by Hamas (and affiliates).

The best wedding MCs aren’t just great speakers—they’re prepared, confident, and know how to connect with the crowd. A strong timeline, clear announcements, and a few deep breaths go a long way in keeping the night smooth. Remember, guests are there to celebrate, not judge, so step up with confidence, engage with friendly faces, and keep things short and to the point. No need for a full comedy routine—just say what needs to be said and let the party flow! 🗣️
Experienced DJs like Noah can improvise, but the best ones know when to keep it simple. Rehearsing your words and making each announcement twice ensures everyone stays in the loop without unnecessary filler. When you see yourself as an extension of the couple’s family, everything feels more natural. So, stand tall, breathe in that confidence, and deliver every announcement with clarity and energy! 💯🎤 #WeddingMC#DJEtiquette#WeddingTips

I had the pleasure of chairing our panel on Creating Accessible Spaces at our Pecs Drag Kings festival. Examining the challenges and successes of accessibility in the cabaret and performance industry. I was joined by the ever wise Amelia Cavallo of Quiplash, Cassie Leon and Miggy Barker.
Some highlights from the panel that I took away included;
⭐️ Access does cost money, and trust takes time to build so develop your access strategy over time and master what you can do well and be honest about that.
⭐️Just because you’ve made progress doesn’t mean the work is over.
⭐️ Be honest with bookers about what is actually possible. Allow them to meet you where you’re at.
⭐️Let venues know that access is a priority for you and your audience. We need more accessible DIY and cabaret space.
We’ll be releasing a full video of this panel in 2025 as part of our archive.

WWBD (What would Beyonce do!) My new series looking at how Queen B would deal with common Presentation Skills issues!! 😉
#1 Q&A - Beyonce doesn't end her concerts with a Q&A!
They say audiences remember the first and last things they hear. So, who wants their big finish overshadowed by a confusing question, a question you can't answer, or worse still a negative question?
Not me and not Queen Bee!
So, here's my sneaky trick to keep the spotlight on my story: about 10 minutes before my grand finale, I throw out a tantalising promise: "I've got one last golden nugget for you, but before that, who's got some burning questions?"
This not only gives folks a chance to pick my brain, but it also plants the seed of anticipation for my big finish. Since I've adopted this strategy, it's been like watching a magic trick —audiences stick around till the very end, eager for my final punchline. And the cherry on the cake - my "closing number" ties everything together, sums it all up and ensures my message is sticky and the last thing they remember.
So, promise 'em a big finish, then tackle the Q&A .... thank them for the questions ... then you have your grand finale, the encore performance - your final big hit!
Trust me, they'll all be humming your last 'song' long after the show is over.

Do you know you have an inner Judge, that is your biggest critic?
Of course, we all know our judge well.
But did you know you can tame and distance yourself from that inner judge?

Film and TV Composer, Berklee College of Music, Spitfire Audio, Passionate about Teaching and Music Education, Film and Electronic Music Production Tutor at the University of St Andrews
As a film composer, I've always been fascinated by how music can transform a story, adding depth and emotion that words alone can't convey. Whether it's the suspenseful strings in a thriller, the uplifting melodies in a romance, or the haunting textures and harmonies in a drama, music is the invisible thread that ties a film's narrative together "and the emotional undercurrent of the film" (Simon Franglen, composer of Avatar 2: The Way of Water, Cannes Film Festival, May 2024)
Below I have attached my showreel of all the incredible collaborations that I have had, including collaborations with Spitfire Audio, Abbey Road Studios, Blender, Matthew Todd, Karolina Smolova, Javan Ng, Sandy Gemmill and many more. I have also highlighted a few pointers that I have learned along the way.
🎥 Collaboration is Key: Every note is a dialogue between the composer and the story. This is where the synergy and magic happens!
🎻 Emotion Over Technique: The best scores evoke feelings, creating an unforgettable experience. Follow the storyline and narrative!
🎹 Innovation and Tradition: Blending classical techniques with modern sounds can create unique, powerful music. Creating hybrid scores can create a nice blend of virtual and live instruments.
I'd love to hear from fellow musicians, filmmakers, creatives in the industry and music enthusiasts. What are your thoughts on the role of music in film? Let’s connect, share our experiences and collaborate!
