A site-responsive performance for village halls that’s also a meeting about, well, meetings, as perceived, devised and led by kids aged 9 to 17. They sing, leap, speak, applaud you, occasionally play the Casio organ and happily rearrange the furniture.
They say the audience and performer experience is
“360, a tiny bit dangerous, exhilarating, interesting”
We say
“provocative, irreverent and playful”
Supported by Take Art’s Rural Touring programme, the performance visited six village halls across West Somerset in 2022/23 and was completely sold out.
