Turning The Table (Breakthrough 2002)
11 April - 25 October 2002

Workshop Leaders - Deborah Wilding & Dave Twigg

For the second year running, the project was developed over 6 months in collaboration with local people affected by physical disability or mental health issues. Based on the work of the renowned Brazilian theatre practitioner Augusto Boal and using forum theatre to form a sense of community where participants feel comfortable enough to express themselves freely, the participants explored the perceptions, myths and challenges surrounding physical disability and mental health.

The result was a theatre workshop performance, Turning The Table, which toured for 3 weeks to day centres and residential homes across Hampshire.

The Team:

Director - Deborah Wilding
Dramaturg - Ali Campbell
Performers - Sophie Powell, Andrew Chaplin, Sally Williams, Marie Ekins

"Th performances were excellent, thought provoking and interactive... can't wait for a return visit".
