Looking Forward @ BAC 8th & 9th April
Cancer is so often seen as just the treatment, but that is only part of the story.
Looking Forward is a participatory pilot project, which has involved working with nine young adults who have experienced cancer, to explore their own experiences of life beyond a diagnosis.
Director’s Grace Gibson & Toby Peach have been running workshops over the past 3 months, offering a creative toolkit to find a language for the company’s experiences and also find ways to comfortably share that with a public audience.
Looking Forward is a celebration of this process.
Directors – Grace Gibson & Toby Peach
Company – Callum, Chris, Crystal, Dan, Dom, Hannah, Lucy, Phoebe & Ruth
Producer – Ros Terry
Sound Design – Anna Clock
Photography – Bethan Mooney
Special Thanks to Sinead Cope at Maggie’s West Centre, Rob Lehmann at Young Vic Taking Part, the Royal Court & the National Theatre for supporting us with rehearsal space.

We understand that cancer effects a large number of people and if, after seeing this show, you would like to talk to someone there are many charities who can offer support. Teenage Cancer Trust, Trekstock or Macmillan are available to chat to, to name just a few.
