In July 2024, as part of a SSP@50 Fellowship Award, playwright Jack Dickson met with local people in a series of Community Creative Writing Workshops to explore what North East Glasgow means to those who call it home. Consisting of a series of creative games /provocative challenges and designed to foster a sense of playfulness, these sessions took place at the Community Hub in Springburn Shopping Centre and the former Nursery in Sighthill. Many of participants who came along to the workshops were first-time writers. Their verbatim words are woven into this Spoken Landscape which seeks to map the topography of an area which has seen its highs and lows: an area which has given much to the rest of the city, the country and the world over the centuries. Jack has been led and inspired throughout this project by these kind, generous people who gave their time, their words and sometimes their no-holds-barred opinions. Jack says “This is part love letter to Springburn, part rallying call to us all. This Spoken Landscape will also form the cornerstone of a Community Play which - IF we get funding - will happen towards the end of 2025. So watch this race and keep an eye on our social media!”
