Age Guidance: All the Welcome

Break (noun) the interruption of continuity or uniformity; a pause in work or during an activity or event.

What is the point of breaks? What happens when we look at the sky, the streets, passers by? What transformations can be ushered in through daydreams?

Sky Breaks, an interactive walk/performance of writing produced by Amber Obasi and 皚桐 (Aí Tung) in collaboration with Deptford residents. It explores these questions, and uses benches, bus-stops, low walls, and other public seating areas across Deptford to consider the power of public breaks. Not just as single moments of time, but as interconnected processes in the creation of change.

In this walk/performance we’ll collectively read passages from Sky Breaks, take time to stop and reflect, and consider what we truly want when we’re not stuck in “business as usual”.

The walk will meet outside the entrance of Deptford Lounge at the alloted start time.

An audio version of the piece, with maps of the route will also be available online after the event if you wish to take part in your own time.

Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes
