The Beams

In Episode 5, Jo and Gordon take us on a behind-the-scenes journey into the making of A Giant on the Bridge, a unique narrative gig from the Distant Voices project. We'll find out about TREEs (Tiny Research Explorations and Enquiries) and how they helped generate dialogue between people and perspectives. We'll hear what happens when restorative justice meets songwriting, and how this kind of encounter can shed new light on professional practice in criminal justice. Along the way we'll hear songs co-created by Rachel Sermanni, Frank, Jo Mango, Louis Abbott, Gordon, and others, as we try to understand how making things together can help us reach out across uncertain, conflicted, in-between spaces, like the beams of a bridge.
