Duncan Speakman is among the hotly anticipated artists, designers, theatre practitioners and photographers commissioned by car company Vauxhall to create art around the theme of re-inventing British classics.

Duncan’s project will take his unique form of subtle mobs to the streets of three major cities in the UK. Combining cinematic style soundtracks and narrative on downloadable tracks, the piece works as an invitation to re-examine the everyday classic British city scene. The Style Council chose Duncan for his pioneering approach to interactive theatre experience and is excited to see how he would frame the UK’s urban landscape, turning performances into a unique experience for each of the individual audience members.
