The Mischief Makers are a group of activists and artists based in Nottingham, (UK), who formed early 2005 as a creative response to the G8 Summit, held at Gleneagles Hotel, Scotland, in July that year. The collective uses creativity to support community, environmental and social justice campaigns, and activist groups. The group's aim is "to inspire people and empower them to identify challenges and take action in their local environment".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=mischiefmakers.org.uk )〕 ==Background== Early 2005, a benefit event in aid of the Tsunami Disaster was organised in various venues around Nottingham. Two local artists made Geisha-like costumes and performed an interactive theatre piece on the streets, trying to get the public to interact with the costumes and the "wish fishes" to engage with the issues related to the disaster. Afterwards, the costumes were altered and used as an interactive way of engaging with people on the issues of debt, poverty and climate change as the Summit of the G8 was approaching. During the spring of 2005, various kimono-making workshops asked people to "join the geisha of gaiety on a passionate mission of peace and progression, when 8 men think to meet undisturbed, unruffled and untroubled to decide upon the worlds future".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Be a Geisha at the G8! )〕 A "Geisha Bloc" took part in the Make Poverty History march in Edinburgh on July 2, and others took their costumes to the camp in Stirling for direct action planned to disturb the summit.
