About
Workshops. The Recovery Project is a programme of work that is running for three years, from 2021 until 2023. The project is specifically designed to aid in the recovery of children and young people’s mental health and takes place in schools and educational establishments across Hampshire.
In 2022 the focus is 'Thrive' and the topics are 'Explore', 'Consider', 'Notice' and 'Act'. The project will encourage young people to focus on what’s next, understand what makes them happy and how to create positive environments for themselves and others. It will enable them to move into the future with confidence to a place of stability and calm, so they can be their best selves.
How does the project work in 2022?
The project will run over five half-day workshops. These practical, theatre based workshops are delivered by specialist youth arts practitioners. The ideal project group size is 20 and should be no larger than 25 young people. It is up to the school to choose who takes part based on their needs and requirements. The project also works best when the group all come from the same year.
The fifth workshop will be focused on the creation of a ‘self-care pack’ which the young people design themselves as a way of passing on their skills and ideas around what helps them thrive to their peers.
About Fluid Motion Theatre Company
‘We are Fluid Motion. We use theatre to create happy brains.’
We are facilitators of lightbulb moments, unforgettable experiences that nurture and support people’s mental health. We push the boundaries of how theatre can help make happier brains. We make performances and deliver projects for communities and with them, using their own lives as inspiration. We want as many people as possible to experience the power of theatre and to be wowed by its impact on their wellbeing.
Theatre challenges and comforts us in equal measure. It enables us to express unspoken emotions by shaping and holding in front of our eyes something we feel internally. It helps us make sense of the world, and it guides us to a better place.
