This mask was made in response to Brazilian folktale 'Boi Tata' for @Not1More. Written alongside to not culturally appropriate the myth + truly understand its roots, history + cultural symbolism. 🐍 #dramatherapy #counselling #britainbehindthemask #storytelling #maskmaking

😁 Today is International Happiness Day! So we thought we would share a happy mask created by Rose, a participant at one of our CPD training events for @DramaTherapySW. What makes you show your happiness to the world?😆#internationaldayofhappiness #creative #mask

[Ella Tabb @Purpleella]

Let's start a positivity thread for autistic Mothers, what makes you an awesome Mum? I'll go first - when my kids are worried I don't reassure them with platitudes ('it will be fine'), I use facts ('here's why it will be fine'), which seems to calm them effectively😊

This #IWD, we #choosetochallenge the masks which women wear, and the experiences they hide on the inside. This mask, created in a BBTM workshop, explores the emotions of Demeter when Persephone was kidnapped by Hades and trapped in the underworld.🥀 #britainbehindthemask

🌟 "We must seek diverse perspectives. We must tell our own stories." 🌟

@ChimamandaReal's powerful message resonates with us everyday ...
