'Resilience', the current Legislative Theatre project of Active Inquiry, is holding a big event at Out of the Blue in Edinburgh on Saturday 11th October. Everyone is welcome to come and support this unique experiment in participatory policy-making!

'Resilience', the current Legislative Theatre project of Active Inquiry, is holding a big event at Out of the Blue on Saturday 11th October. Everyone is welcome to come and support this unique experiment in participatory policy-making! The event is free and will include theatre, food and music but booking is essential.
Speaking of 'Resilience' Gavin Crichton, Artistic Director of
ACTive INquiry, says,
'We live in difficult economic times. Many community organisations are expected to do more with less resources and have to focus on surviving everyday. How can we enable these organisations to be able to become more resilient and thrive?
We live in difficult political times. Although a lot of language focuses on community empowerment and involving communities in decisions that affect them, this is often not seen in communities. How can communities be supported to take more control of their own assets and the decisions that affect them?
Over the past year Active Inquiry has been working with community organisations in Edinburgh to carry out research into the above questions. This event on 11th October will see the culmination of this research in the form of a piece of Legislative Theatre.
Legislative Theatre originated in South America and enables an audience to use a piece of theatre to propose and vote on new policy and laws. How can Edinburgh Council support communities and community organisations to become more resilient and thrive?'
As well as the Legislative Theatre event there will also be food from World Kitchen and performances from local artists and choirs.
