boom projects present grime, graffiti, dance and parkour, reinvigorating Leith Theatre Trust's amazing venue as part of Architecture Fringe 2017. 
 Taking place at Leith Theatre on July 18th and 19th, the project will feature performances from a range of up and coming creatives as part of the ArchiFringe programme. Providing a showcase for their incredible talents, the Creative Riot aims to inspire and empower using creativity- offering support and exposure to those often not lucky enough to receive such an opportunity.  
 
Musical fanfares come courtesy of Edinburgh’s thriving rap and grime scene, including creative collective 131 Northside as well as solo acts Zesh and Chriis Wood. Theatrical interludes will be performed by up and coming talents Dominique Haig and Christie Brown, alongside spoken word from Ellen Renton- winner of “The Time is Now”.
 
Providing some high octane action, Edinburgh Parkour are on hand to noise things up and ensure the audience are kept on their toes. Dance company Mini Jackers will also feature, with choreography from the talented Ashley Jack. Studio Ember will be keeping the beat whilst Azad Adam’s take on graffiti is anything but expected- think projections, galaxies and a distinct lack of gravity… 
 
The project is kindly supported by Woodside Parker Kirk Architects and Civic Soup, who are creating one-off props and staging with support from The Edinburgh Tool Library, Firstport and CGI. Taking place in Leith Theatre’s main auditorium, the Creative Riot will breathe an exciting new life into the formerly grand theatre which earlier this year played host to Hidden Door festival. Flow State Music will be transforming the space technically, with support from Leith Theatre Trust itself, alongside project co-ordinators Kathryn Kerr and Emily Clift. 
 With the specifics in place and just days to go, only one question remains- are you ready to riot?
