THE URBAN PLAYGROUND TEAM – ZOO HUMANS Guy’s Courtyard, London Bridge: Thursday 10 October 1:30 pm and 5:30 pm General Gordon Square, Woolwich: Friday 11 October 1:30 pm and 5:30 pm 
 
Ahead of performances on Friday 18 and Saturday 19 October at Fairfield Halls, Croydon, The UPG Team bring their show Zoo Humans, inspired by the shocking statistic that three-quarters of young people in the UK spend less time outdoors than prisoners, to London Bridge and Woolwich for two additional free outdoor performances. Their distinctive performance parkour combines with David Attenborough’s resonant narrative to examine a group of humans on the verge of forgetting how to move. 
 
Presented in partnership with Team London Bridge with King’s College London and Woolwich Cultural Destinations  
 
EXTINCTION REBELLION – CLIMATE CHANGE: HEADING FOR EXTINCTION AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT Siobhan Davies Studios: Sunday 27 October 5 pm 
 
The planet is in an ecological crisis: we are in the midst of the sixth mass extinction event this planet has experienced. Scientists believe we may have entered a period of abrupt climate breakdown. This is an unprecedented global emergency. Our children, our nation and our planet face grave risks. 
 
In this talk, Kate Jeffery and Andrew Medhurst of Extinction Rebellion will share the latest climate science on where our planet is heading, discuss some of the current psychology around the climate emergency, and offer solutions through the study of social movements. 
 
Everyone is welcome and there will be plenty of time to ask questions afterwards.
