Successful Scares

Thursday and Friday night became a slithering, sneaky, superbly surrendering scary-scream fest!
The evening was a fantastic, fun-filled night for all those who attended and for all those who were involved.

The night began with terror; ending with tremor. From start to finish it was creeping with crawling creatures and carried a group with great pleasure around the trembling biome. Every individual person came out with stung with excitement entering the 'Zzub Zzub', bringing the atmosphere out to those waiting impatiently in-front of them.

On the first night, we brought doom, gloom and chainsaw madness to to the public. The people of the public said that they most enjoyed the frights at "Bam-Bams", and in the "Rubber Hut"- but everyone was at their limit with adrenaline, and bursting to the brim with brilliance when observing every Scare Scene on the night.

Apart from the attention that the Fire Alarm stole on the second night, the spectators seemed exuberantly excited and eager to enter. Everyone seemed to have been more creeped-out than we originally thought possible, Mainly with many of the groups continually screaming at the "Scharacters" on stilts.

To continue, The two nights flew to flight tremendously- not only in the eyes of the public but also in the minds of the performers and producers. Meeting new people, Having fun and food
(importantly) provided, alongside talking to those who were in similar situations to myself - The project worked wonders for myself as a 'Newbie' to the Eden experience. "Scream" at Eden will be magic to remember for the rest of November and beyond.

Thankyou to everyone who contributed to The Eden Project by buying tickets to "Skate & Scream". We are sure Halloweden will return next year with a vengeance..

Nature's Dark Side

Make sure to buy your tickets quickly, as they are already almost SOLD OUT!!

Also, a very big Thankyou to those who have bought tickets and helped to support The Eden Project- we will make sure that you are superbly spooked and horrendously horrified.

Good Luck...

A Thunderous Thursday Followed By A Freakier Friday..

Tortuous surroundings trapping your every move, ghosts, ghouls and ghastly creations creeping in each of your every steps- and horrors horribly horrific following every haunted breath you take.

For screams, scares and serious "Scharacters" (the trick is to pronounce it with an American accent: Sca-rect-ers) You can't afford to be anywhere else but in the gruelling and gross atmosphere of the resurrected Rainforest Biome; where the terrors will arise before your eyes. Through costume, direction, choreography and effects, the night is set to Trick those around us, and Treat ourselves with all of your running reactions. It won't be the case of Pumpkins, Dead-brides and Bats- but Screams, Blood, Heavy Machinery and Shouts of those of the unknown. You'd be a fool to not follow your appearance.

As a volunteer, I have gotten to meet new, interesting people who were also involved within the Scaring process and those who were also on the Production and Stewards team. Together we have helped one another to complete the cursing kingdom of doom around our stage, and when the curtains are drawn tonight for the first time to the public; their eyes will come alive with fearsome fright and inexplicable indications of gruesome exhortations of terror.

The General Public will be guided through the Biome led by our eerie-experts who are set to flicker the fright into those walking rhythmically one by one further into the darkness. Wandering mad-men will walk around restlessly in the light-less-caverns, jumping out on their jolting victims and creeping constantly, cunningly closing in on their prey. Dangerous dooming "stills" staring endlessly at your passing-by will subtly sneak their way into your brains, blasting you into the blundering madness of what is around actually you. As soon as the trembling tremendous amounts of tantalizing fear hits one person, it spreads like live-fire to the next- in a never-ending chain of nightmares through your teasing trip at Eden. Are you ready?

WARNING: THIS IS NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED

Busy Bodies

The Big Green Bus was brought along for a 'Family Fun Day' for those who live nearby within the St. Austell area to Poltair Secondary School today for those who were wandering around & enthusiastic to take part.

To follow on, The Big Green Bus is The Eden Project's way of spreading the word to those who can be reached, but cannot reach us. The bus contains interesting, intriguing and original factual information on how those around us and how everyone can live an efficient green life (and also save a few-bob in the mean time).

Furthermore, The bus revealed itself last year to the general public at Bestival, blasting out the message to cut your showers short and shredding shoddy-meat products to their degrading birth. Foremost, and fearful to some: The future is green, go-getting and guaranteed to make life easier for everyone- and Eden does want you to know about it. Even if other obscure oppositions don't.

As awareness attempted to arrive in it's bliss, The Barefoot Games remained hidden to the public once more. As the ages of our Volunteers are 16-25, there was limited unlucky recruitment opportunity, that didn't stop us hanging in hope. Even if it wasn't to make an appearance here, our opportunity may open itself up else where.

To continue, Even if myself and the Eden volunteers didn't get to spread the word about Barefoot, we still got to explore the bus for ourselves. As new-to-the-game volunteers, we all came away learning something scary about the world we live in. If I hadn't visited the Big Green Bus today I wouldn't have learnt that the meat within a Rustlers beef burger alone, uses a staggering 2300 litres of water through production: the same amount as a kilogram of rice. However, the rice would last lengthy, longer days; the burger would last a lonely, lacking lunch. I also learnt that a tenth of the women on Earth are unable to read or write, and 60% of the world is Asian.

Green, Gathering Groups of all kind and Generating a Knowledge for decent days of living for everyone. Make sure you catch the Green Bus!

Stepping in Barefoot

The Eden Project, inspiring ways that sustainable living is possible and encouraging a friendly take on life. Yes?

The Eden Project, bringing those who have a love for the outdoors and building new ways for the community to come together. Yes?

The Eden Project: A community that helps to bring those who have talents like no other, (or like some) into events monthly and encouraging those, young, vulnerable volunteers to get active and out there into the future business world. Yes.

The Barefoot Games is something any one through the ages of 16 to 25 can really step into. It is a funded scheme through The Eden Project that actively encourages young people of Cornwall to show off their talents. The programme was originally started to spread the magic of the 2012 games, to get young people active, to get them outdoors and to get them doing something for themselves as individuals, as well as for the charity. Eden describes it as a 'catalyst' speeding up the numbers in the audience of the Olympics and subtly speeding up the respect the younger generation have for the world around them. Hurrying along the process of development, gathering people who are willing to increase their skills, fitness and lifestyle and produce people from the not-so-cultivating-or-capital Cornwall we live in presently. The Barefoot Games will have the ability to show people that they don't have to conform to the things they should do, and rather what they want to do. It will encourage those who aren't in need to give enthusiasm to those who are and it will enhance the culture that we live in, not only for today: but for tomorrow.

The last thing I want to do is preach, or to tell you that it's for you. It's something to be decided on your own. I'm here to tell you what's happening inside Eden. To tell you to not misjudge it through meandering comments, but to experience Eden for yourself. Throw yourself into the perspective of another, and don't see it as the perception of: 'plants, wildlife, and old-people', but as a 'fresh new take on life', and something that could throw you into the future you specifically want.

I'm going to be reporting back to you on the events at Eden that are soon to arise, such as, Halloweden where I will be pretending to carve voodoo dolls and constantly concentrating creepily at those around me- oh, and i'll also have big, backcombed hair and deathly demented face (so that's not something to be missed!). Also, I will be bringing you the Arts Cafe on the fifth of November, where I will be watching, meeting and interviewing the World Beatboxing Champion Bellatrix, and the witty, intelligent Dizraeli & The Small Gods. With other interesting acts such as Kate Tempest, and DJs' Jelly Jazz appearing it's set to be an interesting night at the least. It's one that everyone there will definitely Remember, Remember..
