Story Matters: Becky Burchell
Artist and Creative Producer Becky Burchell joins Let’s Reboot the Future to reflect on the power of story and how the arts can create spaces that feel exploratory, creative and safe. Spaces where people can lean in, sit with difficult emotions, and imagine different futures.
Growing up in an activist household, Becky was surrounded by conversations about nuclear weapons, peace, and the very real fear of global destruction. Alongside this, fiction played a formative role in helping her understand both the consequences of our actions and the futures we might choose instead. This early combination of activism, fear and imagination continues to shape her work today.
Becky reflects on her play The World We Made as a space where audiences could explore their feelings about the climate crisis, question the systems around them, and think ambitiously about solutions, because without space to imagine differently, we risk continuing on the same course.
Reading and storytelling have influenced Becky throughout her life and work across the arts, environmentalism and community, helping her hold both fear and hope at the same time. A vital practice when facing complex challenges and imagining the futures we want to create.
