Nordic Mediation Forum, Skovje, Sweden, September 2004

Wolf + Water “fooled” this three day conference of mediators, social scientists & conflict management professionals from across Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland & Iceland, as well as running workshops on the use of theatre in exploring conflict. A bizarre but worthwhile event involving such surreal moments as being crammed into a taxi with middle aged female Icelandic Social Workers & discovering what was in the Bishop of Upsala’s shoe. We would also like to unreservedly praise the members of the Swedish Secret Service, who, having not been told that a Wolf + Water actor in a mask & hunting jacket would be leaping onto the stage immediately after the speech of the Swedish Justice Minister, drew their weapons but were thankfully not of the “shoot first ask questions latter” school of protection…
