Name: Jade Beetle
Nicknames: ‘Love Bug’, 'Fluff bug’
Current age: 10
Gender: Male
Cutie Mark: a heart with bug wings in the each side.
Special skill: Jade spreads love between both changling and ponies.
Personality: Jade is a normally calm and quiet pony, he hardly speaks but when he does speak it’s either sarcastic or suggestive. Jade loves his long fluffy hair but he can’t see past it so he vibrates his wings against their protective covering as a form of ecolocation because he then listens to how close the objects that interfere with the vibrations are.
Family relations:
Jade and Cadence are close.
Jade and Cryslsis are close as well though Jade likes cadence a bit more.
Flurry heart is Jade’s best friend, he imprinted on her at birth. They’re nearly inseparable and hardly ever seen a part.
Jade wasn’t conceived like normal changlings, using magic Cadence carried his egg in her body and gave birth to him similar to a normal pregnancy. His appearance is different from normal changling because of all the love that was poured into him from his family.
When Jade hatched he noticed looked at Flurry Heart and imprinted on her. Flurry took to taking care of him with the guidance of Cryslsis on what his needs where. Often Flurry would neglect her royal duties to cuddly her tiny 'love bug’. He became the most important thing to her, so she became his royal body guard and leader of the Crystal empire gaurd.
Flurry loves to give her brother kisses even when he has his manidbles out, most ponies get disgusted by this action. Cadence thinks it cute how accepting her giant fluffy daughter is of her stepmother and her new brother.
Jade has a close bond with both his mother but tends to be closer with Cadence. Cadence loves her bug family and all of the changling gaurds and servants that live in the castle.
Jade earned his cutie mark when he solved an argument between a crystal pony and a changling by showing them that they both needed love even if only one lived off of it. Cadence was so proud of her baby, Flurry Heart pulled him into her fluffy chest and hugged him with both her hooves and wings.
Jade likes to change into a pony form he created and walk around the empire to see how both changling and pony subjects are doing. Him and Flurry occasionally join Cadence in one of adventures to get adrenaline rushes. Who knew the princess of love was an andreline junkie.

City Stage is a light installation-tool that activates (public) spaces and communities by transforming those spaces into stages for (participatory) artistic and performative interventions.
City Stage can be installed in countless variations; each light beam can be controlled individually through a combination of analogue and digital systems, giving the possibility to create a great variety of visual light forms.
It was produced together with craftsmen in Istanbul and Thessaloniki. So far, city stage has been used to explore its possibilities in various workshops and events as a tool for pushing the boundaries of performance and audience participation.
