OCCUPY THE FUTURE / THE PROSPECT OF A UTOPIAN SCOTLAND / ANTHONY SCHRAG

OCCUPY THE FUTURE / THE PROSPECT OF A UTOPIAN SCOTLAND / ANTHONY SCHRAG

2014 approaches and questions of Scotland's future loom large on our shared cultural horizon: What is Scotland's destiny? How will we create that future? How do we manifest our own utopia in relationship to other people's idea of the future? Is it all so uncertain? Or can we create our own providence?

Using Zoe Beloff's theatrical interventions at last year's Occupy protests and Augusto Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed as starting points, this workshop led by artist Anthony Schrag includes discussions, talks and performances, exploring current debates of an independent Scotland. The day will culiminate in the creation of a collaborative artwork.

A presentation of the works will be open to the public at 4pm, followed by refreshments and an open discussion.
