I work as facilitator, mentor and programme designer on the following training programmes that take place at Ulex South and La Bolina:
Creative Tools for Social Change - How can we draw on the power of the heart, the fire of the imagination, and the dynamism of the body to empower social change through our creativity?
Organisations Revisioned - Building social change organisations for resilience and impact
Radically Thinking as a Species - Diversity, power and participation in migrant solidarity work
Ecosystem Awareness - Learning to act with systems awareness
Theatre of the Oppressed & Creative Tools for Social Change - Rehearse the Revolution
Arts for Justice Residency - Making work that makes a difference
Social Practitioners - A relational and emergent practice for social change
Leading in the Midst of Complexity - Reframing and enabling leadership for social transformation
Start the Change Youth Climate Action - for which I made a Training Guide and Handbook PDF format here.
I am interested in exploring what it means to 'take action' in these times. How to we make sense of the changes we are experiencing around us. It is important now, more than ever, that these conversations, exchanges and reflections happen between DIVERSE groups. Practitioners coming together to expand their perspectives step into the 'lived reality' of each others' story. I use theatre, reflexive dialogue, mentorship, embodiment, games and theory to collectively making sense of what how to move forwards on an individual and collective level.
