BRIGHTER

Welcome

Imagine a moment, now imagine it BRIGHTER.

BRIGHTER is a free writing for performance project from Outbox Theatre.

We want you to write about the future. Words, sentences, images, rhythms, rhymes, poems and monologues about your past experiences allowing you to imagine a queerer horizon.

How it works

On this website you will find 12 tasks (split into 3 sections) to inspire and ignite your creativity. We’ve suggested an order, but journey through the tasks in any way you want.

By the end, you might have a poem, a monologue, a scene, a piece of spoken word or creative writing, a political speech. It’s up to you!

The project runs from October - December 2020. In January 2021 anyone who has taken part in the project can submit their piece to the Outbox team. A selection of pieces from across all groups will be chosen and published (online/tbc in print) as a BRIGHTER collection.
