Coastlives

In partnership with Bravewords and Central Coast Council, this year Laycock Street Community Theatre presented Coastlives, 3 live storytelling events where everyday people told incredible true stories you don’t hear every day. 

The stories were developed with Bravewords and presented live on stage at Laycock. Over six months, we had a fantastic line-up of local Central Coasties who shared personal experiences evoked by a single word.

Thanks to Vanessa Hutchins and Amy Morris for this innovative collaboration.

  • March: Blaze

    Stories of burning passion and trail-blazing; of rising from the ashes. Fire as warmth, fire as a tool, fire as a threat.

  • May: Ripples

    Stories of riding the waves and escaping the floods; of a stone dropped in calm water; of something lurking under the surface.

  • July: Grounded

    Stories of finding your centre; of getting into trouble and hitting rock bottom; of being stuck with no way home.
