The Gathering was a huge participatory project that took place during the spring and summer of 2005.

Four intergenerational groups, or ‘clans’ met on a weekly basis, each working on a different story from a point of the compass.

The show was an outdoor promenade performance drawn from stories from China, Mali, India and Norway, all with the common theme of food.  The four stories were then brought together with a fifth, framing story and the entire piece was performed outdoors in Southwark Park in August 2005.
