We started in 2013 using Playback Theatre with various community groups across Yorkshire. Playback Theatre is a form of improvised performance which allows audience members to tell their story and have in spontaneous created into a piece of theatre by a team of actors. This is a great way of bringing people together to find connections, give validation of experience and offer new perspectives on stories.
Since 2019 we have run a this Playback Training Course in partnership with Converge at York St John University for local adults with lived experience of mental ill heath and performing arts practitioners.
