New Artists for Greenbelt 2012

placeholder

Greenbelt 2012: Saving Paradise is taking shape. Be a part of the party of the year...

Here's a new tranche of artists, speakers, doubters and believers to whet your appetite for the big event.

New music lineup includes Idlewild's Roddy Woomble, Denison Witmer, Hope & Social, Jackie Oates, Chris T-T, Gavin Osborn, In Case Of Fire, Tom & Olly, Luke Sittal-Singh, Tibi & Her Cello, and Martyn Joseph hosting his songwriters' circle The Rising.

Our second music stage emerges from underground and nestles beneath The Canopy - Guvna B, Yes Sir Boss, Tunde, The Austin Francis Connection, Lee Mitchell and Flight Brigade, plus the previously-announced Rams' Pocket Radio, Jose Vanders and Luke Leighfield.

The Talks lineup gets stronger and stronger, with new additions John Polkinghorne, Michael Battle, Emma Major, Jane Mason, John Dear, Margaret Hebblethwaite, Mary Jackson, Rotimi Akinsete, Sara Batts and Jo Swinney, plus more... And our What Happens When You Pray? panel, in association with Cheltenham Science Festival, brings together Professor Christopher French, Mark Vernon and Rev Richard Coles.

Performing Arts features hard-hitting drama from Clean Break in their play Dream Pill; the new play from the writer of BBC1's Miranda, James Cary's The God Particle; and a welcome return for "performance activist" Peterson Toscano.

And we've got more for Children and Families too - with No Nonsense Theatre Company's puppet production of The Emperor's New Clothes, Paul Cookson hosting The Family Twist, Simon Mayo introducing his new book Itch, Edible Poetry with Talia Randall, and crafts with Sew Far Sew GoodBEES and Jon McKay. Plus our new venue The Village Hall hosts Zumba, circus skills, storytelling, drumming and much more besides.

Talk Of The Month
Restoring community in an individualised world | Graham Cray

As recommended by one of our Twitter followers, Graham Cray's talk looks at declining "commitment and trust between people" and how it can be restored...

Recorded at Greenbelt's 30th festival in 2003, this talk was recommended as a Talk of the Month as it is arguably "more relevant today than ever"...
