Theatre Conversation: Approaching socially engaged practice (Tuesday 10 May 2016) creative producer and Centre Fellow Elizabeth Lynch convened a discussion on how artists are approaching the creation of socially engaged practice now. The event asked: as the 2010s unfold, who are the new allies in making socially engaged practice? How do artists know what they are doing is working? What is shifting or changing as a result of artists’ interventions, and what has to be disrupted? Participants included Omar Elerian (Bush Theatre), Alinah Azadeh (artist), Miriam Nelken (Creative Barking & Dagenham) and Simon Poulter (Close & Remote).
