Drama, Visual Arts & Music Sessions with People with Mental Health Issues
(Nationwide 1992 - 2001)
Wolf + Water have run a huge array of drama sessions & workshops for people with mental health issues throughout the UK & Eire, sometimes working within statutory services, on other occasions working with groups from organisations such as MIND & NSF, & including the elderly mental ill.
Sessions are run & paced to allow participants to work at their only speed & within their own perception of safety for enjoyment & the communication, interaction, self expression, creativity & self esteem that is implicit in drama, music & visual arts. Sessions have ranged from creating masks, giant puppets, devising & performing pantomimes.
