Keep Your Coins, We Want Change! - Nov-Dec 2009

Set up in the lead up to the Wave demonstration and COP 15, Keep Your Coins was a call out for buskers and street performers to take to the streets. Instead of asking for money, we asked our performers to instead raise awareness about climate change, and what actions could be taken in the lead up to the global negotiations. As it was thought up and enacted within a few weeks, it was only an experiment. The plan is to repeat it at a later date.

Green Soapbox - Aug 2009

Accompanying the theatre piece, "Oh, My Green Soapbox", we and our resident polar bear took to the streets of Edinburgh (in amongst the budding Fringe thesps) to find out what people think of green issues, and what they consider their 'green confessions' to be. Definitely something to be repeated. Preferably with less rain.
