Welcome to the Impro Vox Cultural Memory System (CMS) Test Page
Thank you for being part of our CMS prototype
This developing Impro Vox webpage introduces our new Cultural Memory System (CMS). The CMS collects information from artists, promoters, venues, and gig organisers to help build a shared cultural archive - supporting future creativity and preserving the stories behind events, people, and places.
This page is dedicated exclusively to Impro Vox improvisation events and performances. Click here for other events.

About CMS
The Cultural Memory System (CMS) you are testing here is designed to open up the future of your events. By contributing, you will start to see how your occasions connect to each other, to venues, to artists, and to wider cultural movements.
About Impro Vox
The Impro Vox improvisation sessions at the Bridewell Theatre Bar in the City of London are the brainchild of Brian Webb and Stuart Wilding, who also run the growing Lo-Fi Ensemble in South East London.
For You
The CMS supports Impro Vox and its performers to develop new merchandise and marketing opportunities, build a rich archive, and share stories; all while keeping event data clean and structured.
Most importantly, the data remains open to link from and to.
It is not locked into Fourth Portal and can be used with any future platform or technology you choose.
Your event is a cultural legacy
Let it flow freely across the web
Connecting Galleries
As we prepare to launch the Cultural Memory System (CMS), we will begin testing connected galleries. Photos and videos will be web-accessible, shareable, and connected to artist, performer, and audience websites.
