Neverland: Our Story in Pixels
Monday, 15th November ,2021 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm
£5

Have your smart phones and tablets ready for a new, born digital dance performance experience that takes place in Neverland.
Neverland is a metaphor for today’s society and how it plays out online. Neverland: Our Story in Pixels, is loosely inspired by Social Media, Young People’s stories of growing up online, digital rights, safeguarding, identity, citizenship and oddly the story of Peter Pan.
This hybrid performance experience looks at our sense of reality, looking at reality both online and offline. Is what you see, what you get or are we all trying to live up to a distorted sense of reality?
Neverland is a digital world shaped by the voices and imagination of Lauren Tucker and young people she has been engaging with since 2017. By bringing audiences together, we can co- create new memories and collectively share our experience online.
Who are you and what do you want to say to the world?
Lauren wants to ask young people, parents, teachers and anyone with an interest in developing young people for their futures- how can social media and digital technology be used as a force for good, and enable us to move towards the rainbow we have been chasing and dreaming of, a better society both online and offline. Are we prepared to have conversations with young people to enable positive social media use and to explore its creative potential?
It’s a serious subject matter, but this experience is not a dark one, it is fun, entertaining and designed with, by and for young people. It is a child friendly show. Recommended audience 9+
As an artist, Lauren aims to actively listen to young people, to advocate for equality, to raise awareness and educate on issues of global concern and social injustice by any media neccessary. To find out more about the company, please visit: tuckshopdancetheatre.org,
