Playful Poetics

Socially relevant, multi-voice plays for urban and rural audiences.

Tamsin Flower started Stream Lyric in Norwich, in 2014, as a vehicle for her first Arts Council supported tour project – a multimedia play about young adults in a mental health support group ~ MENTAL Play. The teams have since created a dance-drama R&D collaboration about women on film, TRANSFORMER, a verbatim play project touring community gardens ~ GREEN_Space, and more recently, Back to Terra Firma, a one-act ‘eco-futurist’ play platformed at at The Bush and Theatre503.

Black Writers on Democracy was a stand-alone digital commissioning project platforming the best of political poetry from emerging Black Writers globally.

We are interested in hearing from writers tackling real issues in imaginative and daring ways.
