What a wonderful collaboration it would be to create a transformational, magical event in the heart of the town. Theater Alibi (based in Exeter) brings magic on the road and into the schools every year with resourceful staging and amazing scripts. Chris Salisbury and Toby Fairlove through the West Country Story Telling Festival provide a gargantuan feast of possibilities and workshops to share the tools of the trade. Playback Theatre weaves entertainment out of the smallest breath of a suggestion. Every movement needs its bards and poets and our grassroot culture already holds many hidden jewels. This may be the path to inspire us to leap into an evoving culture of participatory entertainment, by engaging the masters of the craft with an enthusiastic circle of support. Lets share a glass of inspiration. Totnes is blessed with gifted and creative people. What a wonderful collaboration it would be to create a transformational, magical event in the heart of the town.

Also, in these days of community division, nay alienation, and passive entertainment on a grand scale there is nothing better than street theatre to galvanise a feeling of community empowerment. Such a shame our highest-profile large-scale street theatre company (Welfare State) recently became defunct. Lets hope someone else picks up the baton and runs with something a little more tangible than the simply feel-good Sultan's Elephant...

While not exactly non-carbon producing, a group in New York has hit on a low cost mobile display tour de force -- found here: http://electronicintifada.net/v2/article5616.shtml I can't imagine the reaction if someone hired a U-Haul (as in the article) and took "The End of Suburbia" on a mobile suburban tour.
