In discussion with 6 emerging writers from the textLAB programme – Anna Whealing, Bo Hogan, Calum Philp, Dylan Russell, Lara Delmage and Lintong Zhang – episode 2 tackles the space between writing and performance: how can and should a piece of writing be responsive to current world concerns, how may text challenge the role of the performer and, contrarily, how may the audience have a direct impact on the writing and how it is performed?  

This episode was recorded in September 2022, when the artists were on the textLAB programme on the lead up to their collective Rehearsed Reading.
