Help Us Change!

The Grim Reapers are a bit stuck. Not going very well. They're tired and fear they are losing touch with The Youth. They know they need to change - maybe get on Twitter? - but are not sure how. So they (we) are asking the public to 'Help Us Change our image'. Whatever passersby suggest we will attempt to do, to boost our image and make us more user friendly. 

The project will occupy a shipping container as part of the Performance Arcade 2014 at the New Zealand New Zealand Arts Festival.  In our interactions with passersby we will play the role of those struggling to change, as are many organisations in the modern world.  We want to draw out a public discussion about the difficulty of social change, and we will extend this conversation to a wider audience via a specially created website and social media.

We have received partial funding from Wellington City Council's Public Art Fund, who also funded our Brides project last year.  With this campaign we will be covering the shortfall in our budget - largely technical costs such as lighting/effects hire and set/costume construction. The more successful this campaign is, the more creative we can be!
