“Choosing to fall is the hardest thing. Being allowed and letting yourself fall is even harder. Having people to witness your choice is crucial. They know not to rescue you, nor judge you. They simply witness you, see you, and be with you. That is profound” — Workshop Participant.

Theatre for Community Dialogue: Bus Stop: What constitutes a healthy community? This Forum play, generated by community members, examined encounters with ‘the other’ in public space. We created a ‘bus stop’ on stage to explore responses to people living with agoraphobia – fear of ‘the other’. Towing the Line: is a Forum theatre project. It focuses on discrimination and stigma directed at people living with mental health illness and their carers. Developed in response to local community reactions to Department of Housing’s proposed rooming house development.

“This process relies on us working cooperatively. It is collaborative work. We learned how to name social struggles. We analyzed them together. We gave each other space. We improvised with the audience and made discoveries. These discoveries interestingly, are about our own AND others’ assumptions/prejudices – it’s a three-way learning” — Theatre Practitioner
