Carapace Burlesque
What's that hooting and groaning, as though distant Scottish pipers were sneaking up on you? It's a large tartan ... a kind of kilted...a sort of person made of different clans, all scrambled up with screeching and skirling sounds, gliding mysteriously behind you. Watch out - it's spinning around and following that baby!
CB is a 2m tall cloth sculpture made from recycled kilts. It is remotely controlled by S D, and will follow members of the audience around furtively or blatantly, spinning about and gliding silently - except that it has a cacophonous soundtrack of bagpipes playing from inside its crinoline.
StoryStation
StoryStation is a simple set of headsets, voice recorder and a set of cards. Members of the public sit and at their leisure and open up one card at a time. They find themselves telling stories from their own life into the headset and microphone. Often its a story they had not thought of in quite some time. Other times it is very fresh in their minds. Either way, they'recaptured and shared in the StoryStation online story archive.
Coney’s The First Dial
There are rumours that another little adventure out on the Dials might be discovered throughout the evening by dialling this number 020 3432 3790. These rumours are currently unsubstantiated.
Coney is an agency of adventure making live interactive play of all shapes and sizes where the audience can play an active part.

8pm Seven Dials- Subtlemob
What is a subtlemob?
We’re not sure if we know yet, but this is what we think it might be . . .
Imagine walking through a film, but it’s happening on the streets you live in
Subtlemobs usually happen in public spaces
This is music composed for those spaces
This is about trying to make films without cameras
It’s about integrating with a social or physical space, not taking it over
The audience listen on headphones, a mix of music, story and instructions
Sometimes they just watch, sometimes they perform scenes for each other
A subtlemob is not a flashmob
try to remain invisible . . .

Coney’s Sangre y Patatas

Tiptoe in darkness, try to survive the monster chasing your sound, and a few noisy surprises. A game of bloody loud death for up to 20 players for up to 30 minutes. The live seed for forthcoming iPhone game Papa Sangre. Sign up at the box office to play.
