Development and Validation of a Rear Head Surround Foam Performance Specification for Stock Car Racing
Over the last two decades many improvements have been made in stock car racing driver safety. One of these is the head surround, which is rigidly secured to and an integral part of the NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, LLC) seating environment and serves as an effective restraint for head protection during lateral and rear impacts.

Towards the ‘ironic spectator’ | Springback Magazine
I am not blaming theatre per se, not even in its worst, commercialised version; after all, market gurus say that wherever there’s demand, there’s offer. Or is it the other way round? Pure ideology makes us think that we are demanded to offer; we are expected to be sensitive about global warming, be pro-feminist and hashtag #metoo, be anti-Trump, be vegetarian-friendly, maybe LGBTQI-friendly as well, proud of our rights but not so proud to fight the crimes threatening those rights.
Dansathon: an international dance hackathon
Dansathon was a dance and digital technology hackathon that took place simultaneously in Liège, London and Lyon (I list them in merely alphabetical order) over the weekend of 28–30 September 2018, jointly organised by Théâtre de Liège, Sadler’s Wells and Maison de la danse.
Shape of YouTube
How did we ever live without YouTube? It has saved my day many times with do-it-yourself tutorials, it also helps me with cooking, yoga and education of all kinds. Mostly I watch recordings of dance performances, which I can do for hours. But only after seeing a live performance of Forecasting by Barbara Matijević & Giuseppe Chico (Premier Stratagème) in 2013, during Platforma HR Festival in Zagreb, did I start paying attention to choreographic patterns in non-dance YouTube videos.
Dance+: Dirty Dancing
Baby is watching though, and as she shuffles across the floor, lumbered with that watermelon (surely the most unsexy dance partner imaginable) we follow through her eyes and feel her awkwardness as she inches past grinding couples. They’re mostly too absorbed in each other to notice her, but a few cast glances of suspicion, or worse, pity. With shoulders hunched and eyes cast down, she seems to shrink with embarrassment as more and more lovers loom into shot.
[8:tension] at ImPulsTanz Vienna 2018
Indeed, several of the selected works are provoking and at times tedious, but this may be an inevitable by-product of inventing new forms of performance: the unknown is not comfortable.
Dance+: A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night
The Girl lives in a basement flat, its flaking walls plastered with the faces of rock and pop stars. The Girl may need blood, but she loves music (a deleted scene from the film sees her lying, fully clothed, on her bed, next to a young man named Arash; they reel off the names of their favourite musicians, eyes dreamily fixed on the ceiling). This scene catches her in a quietly ecstatic, languorous celebration of a song, Farah’s ‘Dancing Girls’.
Jo Bannon: We Are F*cked
Three women are insouciantly occupied with a measuring tape, a roll of cable and a vacuum cleaner – but there’s a hum to this humdrum. A barely audible background hum that rises and falls. More unnervingly, there’s the rattling of those bodies and props quietly shaking: subtle, small and rhythmic, as though releasing spores of timeless female grievances into the air.
Beyond borders: Amit Lahav and Gecko | Read
On Friday 13 March 2015, physical theatre company Gecko were mid-run for their celebrated show Missing at London’s Battersea Arts Centre (BAC) when the company’s lighting designer, working on set in preparation for the evening’s performance, noticed a fire. He raised the alarm and the venue was evacuated – but the fire caught hold, completely destroying the roof and main hall of the beautiful heritage building, along with the entire set of Missing.
