Sorry there hasn't been much posted up here recently. Hasn't been much action this end as of yet... Sam (Death) is in Brazil for three weeks so things have been a bit slower...
Having said that though, some friends of ours in New York recorded this music video - fun and cute - enjoy!
WELCOME!
We are a young group of volunteers from the Family International who've come together to form a theatre group in London.
With our plays, we address controversial and difficult issues everybody faces in today's society. We perform all over London and the UK with one goal in mind:
Encouraging our audience to take control of their futures, and challenging them to make a difference!

Community Service :P...
What with the rain and all (yep, the sunny weather's taken flight this end...hope it's better wherever you are), our team hasn't been as active on the streets over the past week or so.
BUT...we have done a good deed in the meantime - volunteering for a community clean-up project to try and clear some of the junk littering our lovely canal!
Inglorious? I think not! We merely swapped our theater costumes for yellow jackets and our props for awesome pick-up sticks and wallah!
We had a lot of fun despite the perpetual rain, working together with the organizers of the event. Some of us even got to use grappling hooks to fling into the water and drag stuff from the bottom (I was the only girl to try it and let me tell you, there was about two warehouses worth of clothing down there...disgusting).
We found all sorts of stuff, from random floating coconuts to empty gasoline containers and even a buggy. I think for me the biggest find was the realization that the environment is seriously going to hell - all of us have contributed to the massive amounts of waste at some point in our lives (yes, that empty gum wrapper DID count :P).
But it's also cool to know that there are people out there dedicated to trying to save what they can and make the environment a better place. Sort of like the way each of us decide to do a good deed even though it just seems like a drop in the bucket when everyone else around us is making the wrong decisions.

Just makes life...nicer, I guess. Certainly makes us feel better anyway! :D

Eye Candy!
Scored the colored version of the leaflet we were reading with some of the gang in Swansea!
Basically outlines a lot of what our plays discuss and the overall creed of our team (Drafted up by Simon and designed by the awesomely talented Bella :P).

A quick nip to Swansea...
Okay, I know a lot of people are going to be less then pleased with us for this (because we didn't give much forewarning), but it turns out...
(Alan and Josh)
I'm SORRY *hides head in hands*. You can all kill me later. But the good news is we did see some of you anyway (Alan and Laura - you guys were so much fun). And the new folks were equally wonderful.
You're probably going to hate me more if I tell you we don't have pictures, right?...Right, I'll just go die now :P.
We were actually in Swansea last Saturday!
...You guys...I can explain EVERYTHING *wrings hands nervously*.
Basically, the window of opportunity for a small team of us (Simon, me, Josh, Raph, Sam, Shaun and Bella) to hit the road opened very suddenly and we grabbed at it - so quickly in fact that time honestly didn't allow for me to sit down and write a blog post about it.
