Our Streets

Radically reimagine a city through the eyes of young women and non-binary people what does it look like? Through film and live performance, a group of 14-18 year old women of Wandsworth will take the audience on an adventure through the city, all while never leaving the theatre

A city is a home.
A place for adventures, venturing into the unknown to come out changed forever.
A city is a place designed by intent and a meeting of people in moments that can never be recreated. 

We are here to make the streets of Wandsworth our streets. 

Through film and live performance, a group of 14-18-year-old women and non-binary people of Wandsworth will take the audience on an adventure through the city, all while never leaving the theatre.  Delving into a variety of themes, including recent events and discussions around women’s safety in London, Our Streets will open up the conversation of what Wandsworth could and should look like if we all played a part in designing and imagining our local urban landscapes. 

WHY SHOULD AUDIENCES WATCH OUR STREETS?

“Young women sometimes have this feeling that their voices don’t matter – like you know ‘it’s fine, I’m not important’, but I think this really proves that wrong, yes, you are important.
Regardless if you’re a woman, non-binary, even if you’re a young boy or young man watching this, I think this is important to everyone – your safety and how you want to be free within your surroundings, because they’re able to get a view of what makes people feel safe how we do feel when we’re in the streets of Wandsworth.”
