Neal, Gabriel and Sid.T is is from a video interview with the children.

What Does the Institute Mean to You?

Gabriel What does the Institute mean to me? Personally I love performing. I get to see dif erent places. Loads of people in our school just go to the Isle of Man for a holiday. Now I just feel so lucky to be part of this. Now, that’s me. Neal I think the Institute gives us an opportunity to meet dif erent people and go to dif erent places around the world, for example, we went to Bristol... Sid Croatia. Neal No, no to Croatia, Siddy boy. Gabriel Neal calls himself an anarchist and this is because of the Institute. We are so lucky as I have just said. Sid? Sid T at Institute, we just need to stick to it like Sellotape and glue. We just love it and have a heart to it. I just love it. T anks God for my life. Gabriel T ese are the three boys from the Institute for the Art and Practice of Dissent at Home. Neal We have Sid, Head of Research, Gabriel, Head of... Gabriel Security. Neal No, no. Head of Drama and Performances, and we have me, Head of... Gabriel Anarchism. Neal No... Gabriel Whatever. T is was the free anarchist voice. Over to you Shelly...

How do you imagine the Future of the Institute?

Gabriel What I imagine in the future when it comes to the Institute is that... Well, the future is its own reward. You can change it, you can do what you want with it, the only thing you can’t do with the future is undo it. And when I imagine myself in the future, I imagine myself in a big mansion thinking ‘how the heck have I got here?!’ Neal T e future of the Institute. T ere are many variables as to what might happen. For example, by 2100 climate change may have taken its toll. Hang on, wait. T e Institute won’t be there in 2100. OK, OK, well, there will be a new house. T is will be a brand new Institute. Brand new life. Also Sid may

move school which is very, very hard overall. And then of course there is the coming of the new baby. Will it be two plus four or two plus three plus one or three plus three or f ve plus one? Gabriel What are you on about? Neal It is inf nite, the amount of variables. Now over to you Sid. Sid Of course it is. Oh, that Institute, you have to love it. To continue to give us... Lena What’s going to happen to the Institute in the future Sid, when we move? Sid A bandit. Probably. Lena We will abandon it? Neal No, a bandit. Gabriel We will abandon it when it has served its purpose. Lena Good. OK, Sid are you looking forward to moving to a new house? Sid Yes, I can’t wait to see the baby. Neal Well the baby will not be just lying there in the house alone. Sid I know. It’s in mummy’s tummy. Gabriel So she ate it? Sid No. Gabriel So why is it in mummy’s tummy then? Sid Mum and Dad kissed on the lips and that is how they got the baby. Neal Of course Sid. Gabriel We are cutting that bit out, aren’t we? Lena OK, thank you very much. Sid T ank you very much! Neal We are the three Anderson brothers. Sid is the Head of Research, Gabriel is the Head of Fine Arts and Neal is the Head of the... Sid Army. Neal T e head of ... Gabriel We can make a dif erence in the future and in the Institute but that decision is up to you. Sid T e end.
