Wellbeing Series: Stress, Anxiety, Burnout

Join us for a series of expert-led workshops to support actors and stage managers in building skills for improved mental health and sustainable creative practice. The sessions are facilitated by an experienced therapist who regularly works with performing artists and has been an actor herself. Each of the six sessions focuses on a specific challenge, practical techniques for self-care, and support strategies. Each session works as a one-off or you can join all six. Best of all, these workshops will be held online, so you can join from the comfort of your own home (and feel free to have your camera on or off as you prefer!).
