The Radical Storytelling Crew is an Anarchist Theatre Collective. We are interested in telling stories with materials and space that do not require us to ask permission. We want to be accountable only to the land and our grassroots communities. This is our place for discussion and knowledge-sharing. We haven't yet made any decisions about what permissions non-members should be granted on this Lemmy community.

*2043, Theatre Upstairs at the Royal Court (a well established subsidised "new writing" theatre in Sloane Square). It has been frugally adapted for living. There might be a compost toilet in the back, something for cooking. Three elderly squatters surround a heat source, eating Pigeon On A Stick, reminiscing. *

ARF: Prawn Mayo sandwiches!

		SHERBOURNE and OFFALY recoil in disgust

SHERBOURNE: We were vegans.

ARF: So was I... CORNETTOS!

OFFALY: They’re back now.

ARF: What?

OFFALY: They’re back now.

ARF: But- not with sugar and cocoa

OFFALY: Yeah, with sugar and cocoa.

SHERBOURNE: Yeah, but it’s Cadbury’s now, coz they were Quakers. So, like, socialist ice cream.

ARF: how. where did they get the sugar and cocoa from?

OFFALY: South America. It fell like two months ago.

ARF: South. South America... The whole of South America? Or just former Brazil?

SHERBOURNE: The whole of South America Arf. Fuck, I’m so sorry, we thought you knew

ARF: I NEVER FUCKING GO OUT DO I?!

OFFALY: I’m sorry.

ARF: Tell me what happened.

OFFALY: The SRUSA&C took it from the air. Fucking dropped robots from helicopters. Cleared people out, put them to work.

ARF: What was the justification?

		(pause)

SHERBOURNE: The American people wanted ice cream.

OFFALY: Fully Automated Luxury Communism

ARF: Fully automated luxury fucking communism.

Writing Prompt: The Worst Anarchist Play Ever (slrpnk.net)

Hello,

So if any writers want a writing prompt, please take this one for our ice breaker exercise. The point of this exercise is to get us relaxed and playful and comfortable with each other by deliberately trying to make something as bad as possible.

If you post your writing here, it should be easy for the performers to read it on their devices while we're in the session, but bear in mind this is a public forum.

I am quite overwhelmed right now trying to get things set up so not in a creative mindset but I have one line to contribute:

Pete the Punk: PUSH OVER THE QUEEN!!!!

As requested. Not saying we should do any of this - just posting for ideas.

I like the 'imaginary machine' exercise, p.131. (0147 in album)

And this, p.111 (0127): Collaborating with one or several peers without making verbal (and therefore more intellectual) decisions allows further development of the participants’ “performance intelligence.” Decisions are made not just with the mind but with the entire body in action and with the imagination embedded within that body.
