Lucy Neal: playing for time

Lucy Neal is an artist, theatre maker, writer, celebrant and community activist. Steadfastly involved in the grassroots Transition movement in her beloved Tooting since 2008, in this encounter Lucy invites you to join her as she bikes through her community and marches through the streets of central London, exploring what it means to hold the grief, love, devastation terror, beauty and infinite possibility of these times. Lucy’s recently republished book, Playing for Time: Making Art as If the World Mattered is a resource for artists, community activists and anyone wishing to reach beyond the facts and figures of science and technology to harness their creativity to make change in the world. Made by Jo Barratt with Gemma Mortensen, Iris Andrews and Lily Piachaud. Music made for New Constellations by Art School Girlfriend.
