The Colours of Loss

In September 2022, Crowded Room Theatre Company partnered with the University of Bristol to run two creative workshops with small groups of bereaved people. Guided by a facilitator, the participants worked together to create a fictional story inspired by the death of a beloved tree. Their words and voices were recorded and then edited together to form The Colours of Loss, a new fictional audio story which movingly explores the varied and volatile emotions that follow loss. Edited by Mark Knightley. Workshops designed by Lesel Dawson, Amanda Seyderhelm, Mark Knightley & Harriet Madeley. Research conducted by Lucy Pocock, Lesel Dawson & Rachel Hare. Music by Jordan Mallory-Skinner. Produced by Hannah Tookey. Image by Luke W Robson Thank you to all contributors to the piece.
