Cardboard Citizens - No Box No Label by Southbank Centre: Violet Nights

In this latest podcast we are joined by acclaimed theatre company Cardboard Citizens, who present a new play called Stressing my Identity that questions the stigma around youth homelessness. The play encourages audience members to think differently about the situations presented and try out alternative strategies onstage using Forum Theatre techniques.

What are your thoughts; if you were in government what would you put in place to help a young person at risk of homeslessness? Get involved using #violetnights or @southbankcentre on social media. Let us know also, what you think of the podcast series - we’d love you to follow us or write a review.

Violet Nights, the monthly event held at Southbank Centre in London is a real-life forum for conversations which usually happen online; with music, performance and discussion in front of a live audience.
And, if you’re between 18 and 25 you can apply for a spot on our free two day podcast making course. If you love them and want to know how to make one, on this two-day course you’ll learn how to plan, make and share your own podcast, by working on actual episodes of Violet Nights. If that sounds cool, head to the Southbank Centre website or search Southbank Violet Nights and we should pop up. That’s also the place to get tickets to our future Violet Nights events. It’s all free!
