The project reactivates the historical form of the ‘Living Newspaper’, a mode of workers’ theatre emerging in the early twentieth century, to examine contemporary social issues through collective authorship and performance. Developed over a three-month period, the work engaged local residents in Bexley through story-gathering, co-writing workshops, and public interventions. Drawing on methods of practice-based research and co-creation, participants contributed to the development of episodic theatrical scenes based on locally relevant issues. The project explores how accessible forms of political theatre can be adapted to contemporary contexts, foregrounding community voice and shared authorship, while positioning performance as a tool for civic dialogue and engagement in public space. Description: The project unfolded as a multi-phase public programme combining story gathering, co-writing workshops, and performance development across Bexley. Local residents were invited to contribute stories via open calls, a telephone hotline, and in-person engagement at community events, including Thamesmead Festival and activities at Bexley Broadway Shopping Centre. Post Workers Theatre collaborated with Infinite Opera and a group of local writers to shape collected material into a series of short theatrical scenes, drawing on the episodic structure of historical Living Newspapers. Additional workshops led by theatre maker James Frost supported participants in costume design, prop making, and scenography. The project culminated in a mobile street performance at Bexley Broadway Shopping Centre, bringing together diverse voices and perspectives into a collectively authored work that addressed local concerns and experiences. 2024-12-13T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/36279 Title: Re-envisioning Ecosystem Dynamics through Performing Artistic Practices Authors: Antoniou, Klitsa 2025-02-06T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/36045 Title: 'Still Steel' Urban Patterns Authors: Sofokleous, Konstantina Abstract: Integrating steel patterns and motifs photographed and archived over two decades from both old and modernist houses in Cyprus, this AI-Project engages urban memory with flora, fauna, and archaeological materiality. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/36043 Title: 'Retro Redraw' AI Patterns Authors: Sofokleous, Konstantina 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z
