In 9 cities, we presented\u00a0 interventions and an information centre in a bespoke caravan which transformed into a stage for our evening performance. The free show took place in town squares and parks and included a spoof academic lecture on the history of civil disobedience, the Clown Army\u2019s Ridiculous Recruitment Show, free chips and films of creative activist actions. In each city we ran a two day intensive training in rebel clowning, which culminating in a Prayers to Products action in local temples of consumption. By the end of the tour a Clown Army platoon of more than 200 rebel clowns made it up to Gleneagles for the protests, and the mainstream media had a hay day with headlines such as the Daily Mail&#8217;s G8 anarchists planning to send in the clowns.<\/p>\n<h5>SELECTED MEDIA COVERAGE<\/h5>\n<p>Article by Kolonel Klepto (AKA John Jordan) and Major Up Evil (AKA Isabelle Fremeaux) <a href=\"https:\/\/labo.zone\/index.php\/the-clandestine-insurgent-rebel-clown-army-goes-to-scotland-via-a-few-other-places\/?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army Goes to Scotland via a few other places<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Interesting article by Matt Salusbury in The Independent, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/media\/send-in-the-embedded-clowns-5346481.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Send in the (embedded) clowns<\/a>, 11 July 2005.<\/p>\n<p>A BBC documentary that followed three activist groups going to protest against the G8, including CIRCA. <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/G8CanYouHearUs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">G8 can you hear us ?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mronline.org\/2005\/08\/16\/the-new-model-army-of-clowns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">An analysis of the clown charater in protests<\/a> by Benjamin H Shepard<\/p>\n<p>A short video of clown action at Gleneagles, Scotland, 06.07.05<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"C.I.R.C.A G8 Road Blockade\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MX0aQU9x0Z4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For 2 months in the lead up to the anti-capitalist protests against the G8 summit in Scotland in July 2005, the Lab toured the UK.
