Save The Sheep Arts Collective
Hi everyone,
This is a call out to artists/activists in Edinburgh and further...
I am trying to organise next 'outing' for the sheep and I want to encourage you all to get involved.
Save The Sheep Arts Collective opened on October 18th at a Zapatista social for the Dissent weekend. It would seem to be fairly quiet since then as there have been no public performances, but work has been going on behind the scenes as we are currently developing its website. It is not a company and has a collective decision making process. While fun, laughter and frivolity are a major part of its existence it has a underlying ethical base. The title for this arts collective is an ironic one as the sheep are not those you might find in fields, but people fed by the three C's: consumerism, commercialism and capitalism. We hope to build awareness of the unfair political issues through artistic civil disobedience and encourage people to think for themselves and take responsibility for their own actions, thereby saving the sheep!
I have been in discussions with the Patriot Hall in Stockbridge, Edinburgh. There is space there in December from 13th onwards. I sold the idea to them by writing:
'...we are looking for a space for a performance/meal to introduce the arts collective properly and discuss its future direction collectively. I would supply the feed and drink and would to locate a large wooden table for the banquet. I hope to encourage other artists to come in on the venture. The performance would hopefully include spontaneous aspects which have yet to be decided upon. But we would hope to include music, dancing, singing, clowning and general spontaneous merry making to make this a night to remember!'
This might sound a bit daunting but if we all worked together we could actually make this happen!
Now for the sticky bit price... for a group it is £50 for a week or under. As this is for a collective we would each need to chip in for it.
Please artists/activists get in touch. This could be a great opportunity to discuss/shake the system and it will only happen if we all want it to.
