You’ve never done anything like this.

Hack the Script is a drama group for 13-19 year olds, with a difference. We use interactive models of streets and neighbourhoods to get you thinking about the future you want to live in. A future where people have the freedom to be themselves and make a decent living. A future which is sustainable, where early action on climate change meant we could keep global warming to just 1.5 degrees.

This is your chance to show what you think your part of Leeds should be like, and this drama performance may even support current campaigns for less plastic and cleaner air in Leeds.

Looking at the year 2030, 2050 and even 2100, your challenge is to tell the stories of the individuals and communities who helped make that positive future a reality. Some people would say it’s not possible, but we say let’s “Hack the Script!”.

We can keep global warming to 1.5 degrees, with existing technology. The challenge is figuring out how to change the behaviour of people using the most energy. And that requires people with imagination, people like you!

Running every Wednesday from the 23rd January to the 13th of March at 5pm till 6:30pm, Bloomin' Buds Theatre and Cyclops Pedal Power will help you produce a drama piece. The final performance will be on 23rd March.

Find us at Bridge Street Church, Bridge Street, LS2 7QZ. We have bus tickets available for anyone who needs them.

All participants will be eligible for a Bronze CREST award from the British Science Association, which is really useful in UCAS applications. You will also learn leadership skills, and meet like-minded young people to run your own social action projects in Leeds.

And if you enjoy that you can join Cyclops Academy, a fun monthly group where we learn cool tech skills to make the world a better place. Check out our Instagram here.
