Cop Clowns @ Kill the Bill in pictures

28/2/2022

 
On 15 January 2022, the Cop Clowns (created at the Trickster Lab at COP26) joined a national day of action against the Government's new Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill.

The bill is a huge piece of legislation that includes major government proposals on crime and justice in England and Wales. One part of the bill covers changes to protests and how they are policed and the amendments are a danger to our freedom of speech and the right to peaceful protest as demonstrators could face harsh penalties.

The Cop Clowns joined protesters in College Green - playing in the liminal space as both protester & police, using ludicrous choreographies and interactions to comment on the absurd & dangerous power of the police.
