Abstract or Description: | Commissioned by Art on The Underground and Theatre Royal Stratford East, the project was co-authored with composer Gwyneth Herbert, and based on an exploration of the life, work and politics of radical socialist theatre director Joan Littlewood, with particular focus on her unrealised Fun Palace scheme. The outcomes of the project were centered around production of an episodic musical documentary film in the form of a ‘collision montage’ Living Newspaper, installed in the mezzanine at Stratford Station as part of an architecturally scaled installation for 21 months.
