Welcome to Severn StoryLab.
A creative research project exploring community stories of water along the
River Severn to co-produce locally bespoke interactive performances.
What we’re doing
Connecting with communities
Working with elders and young people in Tewkesbury and Shrewesbury to gather stories, dreams and ideas inspired by their town’s past, present and possible futures.
Co-creating in place
Creative workshops held in local theatres and at school, involved drama games, such as role-playing and human scluptures, poetry, drawing, creative writing and mapping.
Adapting together
Culminating in the performance of a brand-new play for each town with interactive audience activies, Severn StoryLab is an exciting new approach to locally envisioning collective futures.
About us
