Money is as innocent as the Sun:
Story, verse and poetry that take a sideways shufty at that species distinguishing, humanity extinguishing tendency: abstraction, made flesh in that filthy, grubby legal tender trap.
A playful excavation, unearthing that unconscionable truth; we really need to start getting our hands dirty if we are to discover and save ourselves as a life on this earth.
‘Hypnotic, dazzling, inspiring, funny and beautiful. The craft is out of this world. The heart of it beats like a kick drum. The message is spot on, and the medium is perfect. Go see it.’
Andrew O’Neill
‘There are a lot of spoken word artists who play with a backup band of some kind. Not so many that do both spoken word and music at the same time — and do both things brilliantly. Geoff Winde might just be the
philosopher-poet-musician you didn’t know you were looking for.’

Theiya Arts Dance Collective and The Centre for Biomedicine, Self and Society at The University of Edinburgh present Maiden Mother Whore on Monday 21st August at the ZOO Southside / Southside Community Centre – an interdisciplinary mixed media performance that explores the complex relationships between women, social structures, health and social policies, and institutions.
Based on a larger project, as part of a residency during July 2023, the showcase will feature interactive projection, live audience interaction, creative use of text from the process, and movement exploration drawn from Indian classical-contemporary dance.
There will be a retiring collection after the show for a women’s support service that runs from Southside Community Centre.
