Google The ProvocateursAbout The Provocateurs
The Provocateurs presents two spoken word talks at Edinburgh Festival Fringe. In the first, Professor Zack Moir from Edinburgh Napier University asks whether universities deliver the bright futures they promise, exploring how arts education encourages students to imagine change but often trains them to fit broken systems. In the second, Beth Meadows from Glasgow Caledonian University examines why some groups — including LGBTQIA+ communities — face greater alcohol-related harms, and what an alcohol-free nightlife culture could mean.
Why see this show?
Two sharp, academically grounded provocations about higher education and nightlife culture. Thoughtful, accessible spoken word that raises real questions without easy answers — a genuinely stimulating Fringe hour.
