Productions Past Productions Artists Of Change: Lewisham Speaks London Borough of Culture 2022 - Lewisham As part of London Borough of Culture in Lewisham 2022, Teatro Vivo were commissioned as 'Artists of Change'. For 6 months we were embedded with the Climate resilience team at Lewisham Council - learning about the work they do and exploring the way they make change happen. Our Lewisham Usherettes headed out onto the the streets of Lewisham to talk with the public about what we'd found out, and gather the thoughts and opinions of Lewisham residents about how we can use climate adaptation to make the borough the best it can possibly be. We ran workshops with 19 community groups (one for each ward in the borough) to explore all these ideas. All this work inspired a 20 minute show called 'Lewisham Speaks' that was performed on the streets of every ward in Lewisham between 21st June and 3rd July 2022 in 22 locations. Even though the show has finished you can perform it yourself, or with a group of friends, at your work place, or at your school. Find out how. The show included community performers from across the borough working alongside professional actors.
