Outreach Projects

Working with Four-Eyed Theatre, OCLW invites members of the community to write their memories, to be dramatised and set to music in verbatim theatre.

In summer 2023, OCLW and Four-Eyed Theatre spent the summer touring an outdoor theatre piece called Emoto-matic, which engages children in talking about emotions, masculinity, and emotional repression. You can find out more here.

OCLW runs regular drama workshops helping neurodiverse children and children with learning difficulties to tell their life stories through theatre, movement and music.

OCLW works with performers from Southbank Sinfonia and the BBC Concert Orchestra to bring instrumental performance and storytelling into schools.

As the climate emergency intensifies, OCLW is speaking with those who participated in the School Climate Strikes to collect their life stories. In collaboration with Four-Eyed Theatre, the National Youth Theatre, and the North Wall Theatre, we will help these young people turn their experiences into theatre.
