Our world is always changing and we challenged our art + photography members and volunteers to document their changing world during lockdown. Here are some of their responses:
Poetry written by Crisis Skylight Croydon members during the Lockdown 2020, as part of our ‘Making It’ remote distance learning Arts programme with Tutor and Spoken Word Artist, Shaniqua Benjamin. Several of these poems are also published in ‘Home An Anthology of poetry and art by members of Crisis’, this summer.
Our community volunteer Sue has also written a couple of poems during lockdown.
Lockdown lyrics written by Crisis Skylight Croydon members between March and July 2020, as part of our ‘Making It’ remote distance learning Arts programme with Tutor and professional singer and voice coach, Niki Carless
Crisis Skylight Croydon members have also worked successfully with Croydon’s Savvy Theatre Company at the Fairfield Halls to create their own theatre company, Crisis Averted! During lockdown, rehearsals went online and below is a taster of their work. The company is now meeting weekly for socially distanced rehearsals, directed by Sheree Vickers, in preparation for Savvy’s Christmas show, a steam punk opera based on Jack and the Beanstalk!
