Abstract/Summary

Nightwalks with Teenagers is created with local youth who plan, design and lead public walks through the city at night, exploring the neighbourhood with members of the community. Nightwalks is focused on the power of walking together, bringing together teens and adults to have a unique social experience in a shared place and time, where everyone can let loose, and silences offer moments for contemplation.Taking the audience through the streets and paths of Reading, this walking performance will uncover undiscovered sights and untapped talents. The project involved workshops led my Mammalian Diving Reflex with paticipants from a local secondary school.
