Our very first cycle tours here in the UK happened in the summer of 2007 when an intrepid group of cyclists decided to see if this whole ‘changing the world through theatre’ malarky would work here in the UK.
In 2008, first-ever full length Otesha UK tours took to the road. The Deep South and Wild West teams took to the road, conquering hills in the southwest of England and the Midlands & Wales respectively. Along the way, they performed the shiny new Morning Choices play to about 2,500 people, ran loads of workshops and perfected their banana dance.
In 2009, three teams of cyclists hopped on their saddles and embarked on an adventure. The Wild West Redux tour pedalled across the lush hills of Wales, the East Coast tour sped across the flat as a pancake but oh-so-windy flats of East Anglia and the Caledonian Road tour took to the Scottish highlands. These groups transformed tupperware rapping to a high art form and left a trail of wallets made from recycled tetra-paks in their wake.
