Generating and encouraging new work is at the core of the London Word Festival vision.
More than your average festival, the creative commisioning, collaborations (and few unplanned surprises) we undertake includes not only our performance programme, but also a variety of new artistic projects that extend beyond the confines of the events themselves.
The premise is simple. Pick one thing to do that you can do once each day that will make your life better. Then do it. For one hundred days.
