Ida Barr: Artificial Hip Hop by Christopher Green
Produced by Claire Grove
Ida Barr is the creation of award-winning performer Christopher Green (aka spoof country and western singer Tina C).
Missy Elliott meets Marie Lloyd The Guardian.
Each week Ida investigates a current buzz word (Choice, Responsibility, Diversity and Transparency) and records her findings on her Ida-pod - an ancient battery operated cassette machine with a greasy earpiece. Her target groups include the Sutton House over 55s drama group, children from the Italia Conti Academy and Theatre Ventures Youth Company from Stratford East.
