THE LOCKDOWN DIALOGUES

-
Talk
Venue:
Online

Border Crossings responded to the 2020 Covid-19 crisis through a series of online conversations, reflecting on our past and current work, as well as exploring how theatre and the arts can move forward in this rapidly changing world.  

"Definitely the most thought provoking, intelligent thing I’ve seen/experienced in lockdown and beyond." (Audience Member)

"Fascinating and very encouraging hearing such creative responses to the situation we are all in … my biggest fear is that all returns to ‘business as usual' post Covid with no real lessons learned so it was great hearing a more nuanced and idealistic reponse."  (Audience Member)
