HereNowThis (Morecambe, UK)

Story

October 24 and 25, 2025. A co-production with Lancaster Arts. In partnership with Derelict.

The streets, buildings, public spaces, nooks and crannies of Morecambe are the stage. Guided by a phone app, participants search in the present, consider the past and witness a series of encounters that evoke possible futures. In the process, they contribute to an aspirational blueprint, unveiled at the culmination of the search.

A scavenger hunt and large-scale undercover performance, HereNowThis is a version of Zuppa's This is Nowhere especially created for the town of Morecambe with a group of local collaborators. Along with co-producer Lancaster Arts, and partners Derelict Arts, the work has been developed with support from More Music, Good Things Collective, Creative West End, Stanley's Community Centre and Adam + GIllian.

Lead writer Kate Cayley. Featuring writing by Jim Lupton and Jules Abraham. Stay tuned for more details.

"Projects like This Is Nowhere will inspire the creation of more bridges, between artists, between communities, between activists, between citizens and members of all three levels of government, and between neighbours.” – Amanda Campbell, The Way I See It
