Young Artist Commissions 2020
In 2019 Lyra’s Young Artists commissioned four professional Artists to work with them to create four new live productions.
These productions were due to premiere at our venue, Artspace in March 2020. Just weeks before the premiere, the UK went into a national lockdown.
These film were created throughout 2020 to capture the work that had taken place throughout the project. (all footage where the cast and staff are in close contact with one another was captured prior to the lockdown).
Enjoy the films below.
For any enquiries about the films, please contact our Engagement Producer, Anna Plasberg-Hill (anna@lyra.co.uk)
