# Poo Themed actions! #### **Poo Pouring** toe dip A short video of a poo-pouring action from Wave 1. ##### Rogers Poo Recipe!
- Make some porridge, as you would for breakfast but thinner and more watery. - Then thickened it up by adding white flour (in cold water) and boiling again till the right consistency achieved. Needs to run slowly down a vertical surface. - Then add torn bits of kitchen paper and stir in some water-based brown paint. - There is plenty of scope for variations!! This action idea could also be a centerpiece for a larger event. **Recce and rehearsal** Practice your pouring ceremony beforehand to be sure it goes right. Most targets will be vertical so practice pouring onto a vertical surface. Use a receptacle such as a squishy plastic bottle to pour from. Survey the Pouring target beforehand to plan your theatrics, and also to be sure it will cause no lasting damage. Important Warning - be aware that Poo Pouring on a permeable surface, such as stone, could cause long lasting stains, impossible to clean off on the day. Avoid permeable surfaces due to the possibility of inadvertently causing ‘criminal damage’! **Clean up!** It is vital to clean up after your point has been made if you want to avoid any charge of criminal damage!
Bring water and cloths to clean up, and place a piece of carpet beneath the target to catch drippage. --- #### **Poo Party**

River Creatures Party by Taunton's River Tone but Raw Sewage in the Water turns it into a Poo Party
 (Youtube 3 mins) ##### **Brief Action Plan for Sharing** **Location** - busy park, Saturday morning, polluted River Tone in background. **Props and Costumes** - long table so we can all sit behind, in shot. Tablecloth smeared in sewage with banner "Stop the Poo-lution" and "crockery" which is bits of old plastic taken from the river plus "Crisis, What Crisis?" tea-pot. Guests are wearing animal heads and human colourful clothing to match their creature. Also at the party are citizen scientists in hazmat suits (under a fiver at builders merchants) with clip boards, testing the river water in jugs on table, which animals are drinking. ##### **Soundtrack**
Swimming In It by Beans on Toast
 (Youtube 5 mins) - perfect length and really added something.
Whilst it's playing - creatures dance around table, drink lots of river water, eat turd and poo cakes and gradually all die. Citizen scientists express angst and grief. Final scene is a tableau of dead creatures, debris and banners.
