2nd People's Performance Project

At the latest People's Performance Project (PPP) this afternoon, there was group dancing (the audience had to get up and dance), circus tricks, spoken word, belly dancing, a slide show and a fury little dog which humped a cushion while a girl read heart-felt poetry (I don't think this was part of the act). Amelia, Tailor and Tess from the first PPP went too. It was so good. The event succeeded in making a private space (the hosts' backyard) public, bridging gaps and building communities by bringing disparate groups together. The last piece was a slide show made by one of the presenters - it was made up of a series typed words and photographs that told a story. Kind of hard to explain but it was such a great way to tell a story - like a silent picture show. Anna from ewash Laundromat was also there (she's featuring in mine and Andrea's trop fest film) and was interested in hosting a future event in the Laundromat.
