In September 2020 we invited people from across Oxford to join our Creative Collective and show us Oxford through their eyes. We sent those that signed up 3 prompts based around the theme ‘hidden Oxford’. They were invited to respond to each prompt on 1 side of A4 with writing, a drawing, or a photograph.
In early 2021 we began the writing process, inviting the Collective to respond to a series of prompts to help us build the world of a brand new piece of theatre: Atlantis (formerly called The Drifting). The writing will be woven into a play by writer Rowan Padmore, and the play will premiere at the Old Fire Station in October 2021.
See below for different responses the prompts, and blogs from participants.
