Default "What theatre could learn from the Critical Mass movement"

"...Critical Mass is a collectively organised, grassroots cycle ride that
takes place on a regular monthly basis in around 300 cities across the
world. It sees a shoal of cyclists meandering through normally crowded
streets with a purposeful purposelessness; it's both a playful group
activity and a re-routing of the conventional relationship between cyclists
and drivers.

For me this is a type of gathering that, as both spectacle and participatory
event, is rich with meaning. It's a kind of itinerant theatre, wordlessly
re-imagining the often fraught relationship cyclists have with other road
users..."
