We are thrilled to announce “Our Voices”, Empath’s latest citizen performer project. 

Thanks to funding from the Asda Foundation, Empath is offering a series of 12 theatre workshops starting this April, aimed at helping members of our community over the age of 30 develop their performance skills and foster a sense of community support as we work together to craft small monologue/duologue or performance poetry pieces  to showcase at July’s Artwalk event!

Empath hopes these workshops will provide an opportunity for participants to reconnect with their love of performing or try something new.

“Empath’s ethos is to leverage creativity as a tool for building strong communities that support people whatever their background, identity, or current life situation,” said Steven Busfield, Co-Director of Empath. 

“This series of workshops, generously supported by the Asda Foundation, is designed to give people the chance to reconnect with a love of performance they once had. We are also excited to offer this opportunity to people who may have had a tough time with their mental health, or feel they have a story to tell, and would like to explore their creativity with us as a way of building new relationships, skills and experiences.” 

Dates for the sessions: 

You do not have to attend every session! 

The performance date is Wednesday 26th of July from 5PM to 8PM.
