With the UK back in national lockdown this month, we've been focusing our attentions on the lessons we learned during the spring and summer, and how we can better look after ourselves and each other now and in the future.
Forming part of our Lockdown Lessons series, this podcast with Belgrade Embedded Community Producer Kim Hackleman looks at how we've worked creatively with a range of community groups during this extraordinary year.

October is traditionally a time for reflecting on Black history, but how does history inform our understanding of the present, and how will current events shape the histories of the future?
With the Belgrade Theatre and Maokwo teaming up to explore these questions in their pioneering Black Futures programme this month, 2021 Co-Artistic Director Corey Campbell takes some time to reflect on the future, both for the Black community and the theatre industry.
With thanks to Aimee Powell for the question.

From 2017-19, over 800 people died sleeping rough in the UK. Many have never been identified.
Produced by Roughhouse Theatre, Dougie Blaxland's new audio play Unknown dramatises the true story of one young man's life on the streets of Bath.
Developed in collaboration with seven people with recent experience of homelessness, the play has been developed to support both homeless people and UK theatres affected by the Covid crisis.
The play is funded and supported by Arts Council England, The Big Lottery Fund and The Big Issue, and is free to listen to online, but listeners are encouraged to make a donation.
Donations of £6 to the Belgrade Theatre will be automatically split with The Big Issue Foundation. If you would like to donate more, please contact developmentadmin@belgrade.co.uk so we can ensure your donation is split.
