The G8 and Political Performance


Demonstrations can be a place of hostility, aggression and anxiety. These are mostly valid emotions when up against a system and society that represses in so many ways. Performers at demonstrations are able to firstly interact with bystanders in a humourous and engaging way. Making the issues obvious and simplyfied and can potentially entice interest in the issues. and secondly performers can break the hostility between police and demonstrators in a smartarse, sarcastic kinda way. so calling calling... who wants to dress and go to the stress with me in Melbourne when i return?
