What are the feelings and needs that drive them and their characters? How do they counter overwhelm and self-doubt to enter their flow state?
9 MONTHS TO BIRTH YOUR PLAY aims to be an invaluable resource and opportunity for artists to explore well-being-centred approaches to their practice whilst gaining a more rigorous understanding of the psychology of drama.
