One Foot In Front Of The Other: Episode 4 - with others Oldham Coliseum

    • Performing Arts

A series about walking by Caitlin Gleeson. Supported by Oldham Coliseum Micro Commissions 2021



What do you think of when you think of walking? Hiking through a forest? Ambling around your local park with a friend? Popping to the shops in the rain? Marching through the streets with a placard, shouting?

In March 2020, like many people, Caitlin was really poorly with covid. She’s still not back to normal but one of the things that’s kept her going ever since has been walking.

One Foot In Front Of The Other is a series of four short audio pieces about walking. Join Caitlin to reflect on what walking has been like over the last year or so - how it’s changed, how it’s been painfully unchanging, and some of the things she’s seen, heard and found out along the way. As you listen, go out for a walk or a roll or a sit, or stay where you are and come on a walk with her instead.



Episode 4 - with others

In the final part of this series, Caitlin explores why walking with other people is so valuable, and takes us on a short march through the notion of walking as protest.

A note on content: this episode discusses being ill with covid and being in pain.
