“YOU MATTER, DON’T GIVE UP THE STORIES WE TELL THEY HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE LIVES”
Therapeutic Theatre
Performances and Workshops
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to deepen your teams understanding of early trauma in a creative, playful way where your not starring in front of a PowerPoint for hours in a day.
As a Creative Arts Psychotherapist most of my works focuses solely what emotions and feelings we hold in our bodies so it makes sense that’s where we start. A Bottom-Up approach starting with feeling the work to then making connections and relating to then move into the thinking and learning.
If you have an idea I will create a bespoke affordable workshop for you and your team. Let's turn theory into something more.
I offer bold ‘in-yer-face’ creative programme of therapeutic theatre performances, workshops and creative education projects.
If you have an idea I will create a bespoke therapeutic theatre performance and/or workshop for your team, organisation or setting.

Turning Training into Performances

Lucy also devises and performs her own performance pieces individually, with groups and collaborative ensemble pieces for trainings and conferences.
Therapeutic theatre performances allows attendees a safe space to explore themes around trauma, unconscious bias, power and privilege and racialised trauma held in the mind, body and soul.
Each bespoke piece created a shared and lived experiences addressing issues around mental health, early developmental trauma, attachment, culture and identity
