LISTEN NOW!

In 2015 news broke in the Waterloo Housing community that residents would have to move from their homes, due to plans for development in the area. Three years later and these residents - some of whom have lived in the Estate for many years - have still received no certain information as to where they will be "relocated" let alone when.

Pathways, 2018

Change can be exciting, bringing fresh opportunities, but it can also be scary, especially when it could mean the relocation of your home or business.

What do you do when you feel like you're drowning? How do you explain to others that you've forgotten who you are?

Link Housing partners with Milk Crate Theatre to provide an alternative and innovative approach to community consultation through the Forum Theatre method.

An incredible transfixing gaze unsettles us in our seats. We listen to testimonies of inequality and how the performers have negotiated the terrain of their lives.

What happens when the things that bring us comfort and control begin to break, wreck and ravage?

Working in collaboration with Theatre of the Oppressed NYC's Founder and Director, Katy Rubin, the Milk Crate Theatre artists developed a new Forum Theatre work from their own lived experiences of homelessness and the surrounding issues.

Journey through dark and beautiful territory to explore the relationship we have with our most precious possession - our mind.
