We've Chosen Here episodes

  • From A Distance-Alexis Keir
    ‘We had found devotion we had forgotten was there for us’
    Our podcast today is ‘From A Distance’ by Alexis Keir. Alexis came to the project with a story he had written as part of the Spread The Word ‘London Writers Awards’ programme. The piece is a tribute to his mother, Lenore, and describes a touching meal he had with his mothers’ friends when he, his Father and his son were invited to join their Sunday Lunch in Luton shortly after his Mother had passed away. It explores the importance of community, not just in a time of loss, but as an opportunity to listen and learn from the stories of the elders.

We’ve Chosen Here explores the connection between loss, location, legacy and community. Through a series of eleven workshops theatre maker, Lizzy Fretwell, worked with a group of Luton residents to create a series of tributes to their lost loved ones. These tributes were then read and recorded and transformed into podcasts.
