TOYNBEE (2013)

Fragments of other lives and times revealed through a site-specific journey. Created with volunteer performers, musicians, and design and direction students who worked alongside the professional team, TOYNBEE was a site-specific performance installation in December 2013 that journeyed across the historic site of Toynbee Hall and Studios. A dynamic centre of social, political and artistic activity since 1884, TOYNBEE created dialogues between its past and future within a landscape of music, image and performance. Traces of lives were glimpsed in corners and windows, while footsteps echoed to the sound of the different voices of the contemporary East End.

TOYNBEE was an Artsadmin commission produced in partnership with Spitalfields Music Winter Festival and Toynbee Hall.
