A short summary of our project
The development and creation of a new interactive street theatre piece by Chalk Line Theatre, exploring themes of identity, language, communication and acceptance, commissioned by the Imagine Luton festival.
Who we are?
Smashing old form to create new foundations. Chalk Line offers raw and punchy stories based on human experience. Exploring the threshold between cinema and theatre, we aim to take audiences on a journey they have yet to have experienced, communicating through spoken word, electronic soundscapes and live video feed. An exploding cinematic pallet, with colours of politics and compassion, our work looks to create a new form which connects and uplifts urban communities.
Where will the money go?
£200 will cover accommodation for three actors at the Imagine Luton Festival for one night.
Any additional money raised will go towards covering other expenses for the Festival such as costumes. lights and travelling.
