"Street Training is the art of constantly transforming ourselves and our streets both collectively and individually...Street Training takes the form of spontaneous small-scale happenings in public space and shows that we can have an equally powerful effect on our surroundings with our thoughts and behaviour." 'How do we behave to be joyful' and 'how do we behave to be safe in the streets?' Through Street Training, Lottie Child asks these two questions of urban people.
Our part in Peckham Street Training (that's myself and Aileen Derieg from Furtherfield.org) has been to create an online platform for Lottie Child's Street Training with a special focus on the Peckham group. As part of this commission by Peckham Space (a new commissioning organisation for socially engaged arts in South London) we were interested to think about how to translate the project in physical space into online space and to connect the two. What would characterise the paths of Safety and Joy for online participants?
