    Wednesday, March 22

    A Fringe Festival performative research project ended with two adults sitting in a bush near a busy Dunedin intersection and inspired a different way to view our city streets.

    Rosella Hart’s Take Me With You was a self-guided-tour-style event, which explored how the environment affects us in a walk-and-talk-style event around central city streets. Otago Daily Times reporter Cas Saunders went along for the experience.
