Soapbox is a Creative Movement workshop series, facilitated by Coco Karol and Azmi Mert Erdem using workshop-to-performance model to create a platform for moving, listening and dialogue.

Inspired by the impromptu stages of 19th century soap-crate speeches, where wooden export crates became platforms for performative expressions and social dialog, Soapbox invites its participants to explore how we as individuals use our bodies to express ideas and connect with people around us, how we listen and communicate with each other, and create change in the world.

This three day workshop-performance series began its journey at Awakening New York in 2014 and expanded to Space Debris Istanbul in 2015.
