Teenagers takeover Worcester, Telford and Cannock libraries

On Saturday teenagers in Worcester, Telford and Cannock will be taking control of their local library for nine hours and performing live worldwide.

Published

The teenagers have been working with world renowned arts group Blast Theory and with author Tony White to re-imagine libraries, storytelling and their place in the world.

Their work will take shape when they spend three hours at each library bringing the work to life.

Ju Row Farr, artist with Blast Theory, explains: "They have driven stories in challenging directions.

They are hilarious one minute and moving the next. The teenagers stake out the power of books, stories and libraries in our lives."

They will be at Telford from 3pm to 6pm before moving to Cannock between 6pm and 9pm and finishing off at Worcester from 9pm until midnight.

The stories that have been developed from the workshops will be told in three consecutive performances which will be streamed live on http://aplacefreeofjudgement.co.uk

The project was supported by Arts Connect and ASCEL West Midlands.
