[Campaignforrealdemocracy] [pan-discuss] Urgent Ideas Request - October Levellers' Event

Sun Jul 15 08:50:52 UTC 2012

Hi Penny

That's a great idea! 

But, please everyone in the format requested, so:

(1) People could re-work the play at 
http://www.aworldtowin.net/about/standupplays.html. ( a staging of the Putney debates in modernised language.)

(2) It could be enhanced and changed to form a basis for a performance piece with the audience taking part as members of the different groups within the New Model Army - or the other side if they wish. 

(3) It would need some actors ready to improvise improvements, a good director and a producer with experience of techniques of Theatre of the Oppressed.

Penny, do you have a key outcome for the day you'd like to promote and which we could weave into the three bullet points ?

Love 

Mark

Hi there ……. here's link to a play which was a staging of the Putney debates in modernised language. It could be enhanced and chaged to form a basis for a performance piece with the audience taking part as members of the different groups within the New Model Army - or the other side if they wish. It would need some actors ready to improvise improvements, a good director and a producer with experience of techniques of Theatre of the Oppressed.

In case you're wondering the request for three separate bullet point-like sentences is important for the collaborative Agile process which Sean and John B both know all about.

Also I will be away for Ramadan, so please help us get the show on the road in good time by sending something back by latest Wednesday evening so then I can process the responses and send them all in one batch to Sean for stage two to go forward with all your wonderful ideas in the mix!

They ran until November 11th, considering the future of the English Constitution after the removal of the King from the old political order. And of course the Levellers, who sought a democratic constitution based on an 'Agreement of the People,' were famously excluded from the final political settlement.
