As part of EatsSide Arts Artist Support Programme they are partnering with Clean Break to deliver Leading with Kindness Training on 9th, 10th and 11th October (the same workshop each day) and we have some spaces still available. The workshop is designed to build skills, strategies and confidence for working sensitively and safely with trauma, in the context of theatre-making and community work.
About Clean Break
Clean Break is a theatre company producing groundbreaking theatre which puts women’s voices at its heart and creates lasting change by challenging injustice in and beyond the criminal justice system.
Clean Break uses theatre in prison and with women in the community, and commissions and produces plays which compellingly reveal to audiences the hidden stories of women and criminalisation. We achieve this in collaboration with theatres and other organisations including the Donmar Warehouse, Soho Theatre, Theatre Clwyd and the Royal Court.
Over the past 40 years Clean Break has proven itself to be a trailblazer in both theatre and the criminal justice system; creating bold work, innovating best practices and creating lasting change.
Leading with Kindness Training
Build skills, strategies and confidence for working sensitively and safely with trauma, in the context of theatre-making and community work, at our Leading with Kindness training.
Led by Clean Break’s Member Support team, this training draws on decades of experience of working creatively with women who have experienced trauma, and providing holistic, wrap-around support which allows women to thrive and participate effectively in our programme.
We developed Leading with Kindness to bring our trauma informed practice to the leading UK theatres and art organisations with which we co-produce ground-breaking work. The principles of this training have been implemented in rehearsal rooms at the National Theatre, Almeida Theatre, Bush Theatre, Sheffield Crucible, Donmar Warehouse and many more.
In the training, participants will learn:
- What trauma really is, and the different ways it manifests in people
- The social context of trauma
- How to implement a trauma informed practice
- How to keep yourself safe when working with trauma
If you are a participation facilitator, a theatre director, a stage manager or anyone looking to create work with challenging themes, join Clean Break for a dynamic training session which caters to a range of learning styles and encourages rich engagement from participants, delivered with care.
Due to support from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, the cost to attend a workshop is just ÂŁ10.
