About this Event

We're organising a workshop for activists, performers, writers, musicians, and anyone who wants to provoke new ways of thinking and talking about the multiple and connected political crises we face, through street theatre/performance.  The day will be led by scholar and activist David Calder (University of Manchester).  We are intending to start with a session by David, introducing us to some of the history of key moments and movements in political street theatre, but from the practical point of view of learning from the past. This will help us understand how we may reapply and develop the ideas for the current moment.
The day will be fairly open ended, allowing us to move in to some practical experimentation, and/or small group discussions to explore the ideas further, and work out where we'll take the work next.  The event will be limited to 20 participants, and is free, but you need to register for a place beforehand. Coming to the day doesn't commit you to engaging in political street theatre, but is intended for those who actively interested in the idea of perhaps doing so.  You will need to bring your own lunch but hot drinks will be provided.
We intend to create a space and a way of working which is anti-racist, LGBTQ+ inclusive, feminist, pro-immigration, anti-fascist, and in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
