Episode 2: LUKE
Playworker Luke Sutton reflects on playworking in the US vs. the UK and what it’s like to have a documentary filmmaker on your play site.
A few things we mentioned:
Magical Playscapes (1989) by Joe Frost and James Talbot, Luke’s favorite playwork reading at the moment.
Play for a Change (2008) by Stuart Lester and Wendy Russell. The keynote from this report inspired an “aha” moment that changed the course of Luke’s career.
Pondering Play: The Beauty from a Lie (2014) by Luke Sutton, Luke’s story of playing soccer for two opposing teams during play scheme.
The Land: An Adventure Play Documentary (2015), the documentary film that featured The Land adventure playground and Luke’s work there.
The Land (Wales, UK), The Yard (NYC, USA), Eureka Villa (CA, USA) - a few spots where Luke has (play)worked.
