'Not all those who wonder are lost' and 'Discover After Dark' are slogans that describe a typical Midnight Run, an event pioneered and hosted by award winning poet, playwright and performer Inua Ellams that gathers complete strangers to play, walk, explore and reclaim the streets and hidden spaces in cities. This Midnight Run in collaboration with Bush Theatre, will begin at the theatre at 5.45pm and explore the surrounding neighbourhoods, basketball courts, playgrounds, courtyards and parks until midnight. 'Participants' are advised to dress for the weather, bring a pen, money for food and above all a healthy sense of adventure. In the motto below, 'star' can be taken literally or as a metaphor for city dwellers, where it takes on a beauty and importance: The Midnight Run Cause we can't see stars for fumes - we turn to smashed glass, believing - shards shine like constellations do.
