Hello

hello – come in and make yourself at home

The Woodies have a blog. It’s a kind of collective. Not sure we’re about to start a revolution baby, but we might kindle a small debate or two and perhaps raise a smile. Anyway, rather than just blogging corporate Woodreed by fielding our top Woodie (as so many other companies seem to do in a thinly veiled attempt at impressing with their profundity), we wanted all our individual voices to be heard. An agency’s most valuable assets are its people after all. Everyone’s got something to say here and with us everyone’s ideas and opinions matter.

Each week someone different will be blogging. It's mostly about stuff that rocks our world as well as the flipside – the things that just don't cut it with us. We'll blog about inside and outside – inside this glorious industry where we work and outside in the real world.
It's a bit of an experiment, so go with us on this one.

Hope you enjoy.

Roll up! Roll up! Roll up!






What an amazing collection of talent. From the opening act of a mad Norwegian, Captain Frodo, forcing his body through two tennis rackets to the sublime acrobatics of a wet denim clad adonis sitting in a bath (eat your heart out Nick Kamen) via an assortment of performances ranging from grotesque, to erotic to just downright breathtaking, La Soiree's burlesque show in a big top on the South Bank was just awe inspiring.

That a group of young performers have worked to perfect such offbeat talent and skills in a world of homogenised, cowell-esque and hollywood-ised mediocrity is just wonderful.

Even the location - a building site being used temporarily as a home for the season - was creative. And the big top was a stunning wooden, art nouveau constuction - beautifully lit, and perfectly atmospheric.

The season has been extended to the end of February and I am happily making an unashamed plug - http://www.la-soiree.com/ for further details.

    Sounds very dramatic, but more importantly creative. I think Jodie an I will go.
