PLOT17: A hip-hop garden block party written and performed by Kenny Baraka for audiences aged 7+

Four pieces of wood
Eight nails
And a hammer
Some compost
A hand full of seeds
And some water
A playlist and some speakers all you need to get you started
then by the time that you finished you’ll know How To Make A Garden

Plot 17 is a mobile block party travelling the world raising awareness, inspiring action and spreading the message of “making things green”, with a soundtrack guaranteed to make you want to plant a tree and sure to help the seeds grow.

Using spoken word, lyrics, visuals and DJ-ing, Plot 17 is an interactive performance for ages 7 – 11.

Developed at the Albany, London, PLOT17 has been touring schools and festivals.
