Theatre of care
The Polish theatre director and theorist Jerzy Grotowski wrote that:
‘A creative act flourishes only if nourished by the living organism. Therefore, we are obliged to take daily care of our bodies, so we are always ready for our tasks’
The wellness of artists in the performing arts industry is gaining prominent attention. Wellbeing is no longer considered as secondary in the artistic process but rather as being entirely part of it and as something that can actively support it.
I am pioneering a service for performing arts artists (actors, directors, managers, technicians) that places care at the heart of artistic practice.
The service helps individuals and collectives to address the psychological challenges that may arise in production (during, pre or post) and to create safe and nourishing environments where creativity can flourish.
