do i need any special equipment or skills?
bring your own abilities and disabilities as wearing high heels, having a kid with a tummy ache or being hung over can help you to develop your own creative ways of being safe and joyful in the streets.

Teaching creative/antisocial behaviour on the streets
Jumping on bollards, talking to strangers, dancing at the bus stop - since i started asking people about their techniques for being joyful and safe in the city streets my enjoyment and engagement with my local area has sky- rocketed. I take people on Street Training sessions where we practice and exchange the little things we do to keep ourselves sane, make ourselves laugh and improve our experience and the quality of the public spaces we inhabit.
Offering: private lessons, group classes, workshops, intensive courses and corporate.

Street Training
The Street Training session takes just over 2hrs explores the edge of the City of London, crosses Brick Lane and ends at Spitalfields City Farm. During the session you will learn such things as sliding down hand rails, walking with your eyes closed, guerrilla gardening and be supported in doing and improvising your own techniques for creative/antisocial behaviour. Children are especially welcome because they are often very creative users and shapers of urban public space.
