@KoestlerArts@southbankcentre This is absolutely stunning, it reminds me about Emily Dickinson Poem... "Hope" is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all...”
It’s ok to feel angry. Personally, I really struggle with this emotion... I try to understand everything... I need to remind myself that it’s ok to just feel the emotion...
"I am an old man who has been in jail a long time. One day out in the exercise yard I was surrounded by older men, I suddenly seen myself reflected in these aged faces. I started to create a theoretical portrait. The strong lines are roads traveled". On display at #AnotherMe.

We’ve learnt so much from our participants. Two exciting projects shaped today with women who have lived experience of the criminal justice system. Many open and thought provoking conversations... time to get theatre making together 🎭 @jennadeehowlett@SarahRumfitt@_N1GHTL1GHT

What an amazing day! @S_Kewley Today we discovered how the arts In recovery is transforming communities up and down the country... we heard the moving testimonies of those with lived experience, and listened to academic presentatations evidencing the necessity of the work we do!
I’ve been working with Men with lived experience of the criminal justice system. We created a play- “Butterflies and Steel”...a play that explores healthy and unhealthy ideas of masculinity and the effect of these ideologies on the mental health of incarcerated men #mentalhealth
@bestofthebiro That’s blummin terrible! Be respectful people- not acceptable in any circumstance but particularly disgraceful given the subject matter!
What a successful morning, performing “Butterflies and Steel”: a compelling play that confronts the true meaning of masculinity and the power of human to human connection. In this inspirational story, Hope is alive and well and strong enough to break down the hardest walls. #hope
