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.
