Urban Earth: Canterbury - January 2010

Thanks to the TWITTER FEED of URBAN EARTH, heard about this event: the latest organised by Dan Ellison.

URBAN EARTH EVENT: CANTERBURY

Invade. Capture. Expose.

Invade, capture and expose Canterbury (UK) by joining over 60 people in this intimate URBAN EARTH weekend.

It's all about the Event. An event that we're going to create for ourselves on the Saturday night. Based on a secret mission that aims to capture and expose the city that we're temporarily invading, groups will be challenged to create a film/performance/show ready to display at our event.

FRIDAY 29.01.2010

Arriving. Eating. Briefing. Planning. Sleeping.

SATURDAY 30.01.2010

Eating. Exploring. Creating. Event(ing). Playing. Dancing.

SUNDAY 31.01.2010

Eating. Leaving. Sharing.

How it works...

1. On arrival you'll be placed into a group. We'll be mixing things up, but if you are keen to hold hands with someone we can help make that happen too.

2. After eating on Friday night we'll hold a mission briefing (around 9pm). The brief will be to capture and expose Canterbury... but we'll be leaving the specifics a secret until then.

3. Canterbury is open for missions to be carried out. By Saturday night films/shows/performances should ready to go and at 10pm EVENT: CANTERBURY will begin.

Who can come?

Anyone who is over 18. If you're interested in exploring our urban world and sharing what you've discovered in an interesting way we'd love to have you along.

What will I need?

You'll need to have a video camera, camera, laptop, sound recorder, type writer, wool or whatever you like to work with. There is bedding at the hostel, but feel free to be even more warm and comfy bring your own too. Food, coffee and tea are included in the ticket, other drinks are left to you.

How do I get to Canterbury?

Canterbury is 98km south east of London. It takes around 90 minutes to get there by train from London, around 3.5 hours from Birmingham and 10 hours from Aberdeen. To check out the roads take a look at the map on this page or whack the hostel's postcode (CT1 3DT) into your preferred mapping service.
