After suspending the project they were working on in March, Norris split up the cohort to work across two new projects.
One was a socially distanced film, shot at the theatre and crewed by members of the Peaky Blinders creative team who gave workshops on camera, sound and lighting.

The team also began work on The Ballad of Corona V, a play born out of the young people’s experience of the pandemic, and the initial online workshops and debate sessions.
