CURRENT PROJECTS
MyLife
Lightwork is working with Lewisham Youth Theatre (LYT) on a multimedia project that fuses words, music and dance along with online videocasting material. The show gives voice to a group that is not often properly heard. And it draws urban do-it-yourself video into a new theatricality.

COMPANY PROFILE
Lightwork makes theatre that fuses live performance and digital technologies. We aim for a performance language that can deal with twenty-first-century perspectives and concerns.
Our productions are normally narrative-based. They accumulate meaning and effect through layerings of themes, and theatrical shifts of time, place and persona. We aim for our shows to be moving, thought-provoking, innovative and fun.
