Lookout is a unique interactive performance that brings adults and children together to think about the future of their city.
About this Event

Taking place on the terrace of UCL East’s Marshgate building, looking out over breathtaking views of East London, a group of adult audience members are each paired with a young performer from Mayflower Primary School in Poplar. They stand together, looking out at the streets and buildings of the city below, and begin to imagine how that same view will look many years from now.

First created in Glasgow in 2015, versions of Lookout have since been presented in towns and cities across the world, from Manchester to Shanghai and Cairo to Llandudno. In 2017 the project was awarded the Spirit of the Fringe award at the Auckland Fringe Festival in New Zealand.

Now the project is returning to the UK having been re-imagined through conversations with UCL experts on climate change and planetary futures and is being presented to coincide with COP29 in Azerbaijan. At this moment of uncertainty and possibility, this is a chance for adults and children alike to take a step back and see the world from a different angle.

Running Time: 30 minutes. Please arrive 10-15 minutes early to ensure a prompt start.

Age Guidance: 16+ (younger children are welcome to accompany their parents and do not require a ticket to attend)

Show Website: aplacetolookout.co.uk


Ticket proceeds will be donated to Mayflower Primary School to support their arts and cultural programmes.
