#MiniMyth

Formerly #DailyDose our #MiniMyth series is a digital project created during Covid lockdown in 2020. [aod] Artistic Director, Tamsin Shasha started posting daily online content on 18th March, 5 days before the UK government’s official lockdown. Initially Tamsin produced bitesize dramatic readings of ancient Greek/ Roman poetry/ prose or work inspired by myth, but soon after invited guest performers to record content, which aod then posted on all social media channels, including Twitter, Insta and Facebook, along with free recordings of our many shows.

Many distinguished and celebrity names have recorded content for us including Stephen Fry, Natalie Haynes, Edith Hall, Katherine Harloe, Joe Pasquale and Michael Scott. We have also featured singers, dancers, aerialists, graphic artists, poets, school takeovers amongst others. We launched our free #Dailydose100 #DigitalDionysiaFestival 26th – 28th June 2020, in which we shared 24 bitesize readings and performances online via Twitter and facebook over one weekend.

We raised funds to pay 11 freelance artists for their short content and posted these recordings as part of the project. A #DailyDosePlaylist can be found, along with other content on our YouTube Channel. We are passionate about providing this resource as a means to inspire, educate and entertain.  Our aim is to support other artists, encourage them to engage whilst spreading the word of Classics.

#DailyDose ran daily for 18 months and won a Sussex Enterprise award. We named the project #MiniMyth in 2022 after participating on The Space‘s Digital Mentoring programme.

We do still post as much content as we can and encourage as many artists and creatives to get involved to help make magic from myth.
