You faciliated workshops with our groups of young adults with learning disabilities, sensory needs and complex communication, at Sense in Birmingham. We had asked you to try to address the tricky subject of consent and the right to choice! which you tackled so well through a mix of play and role play. Behind those lovely masks your intuitive responses to each person’s expressions and actions - (sometimes very subtle and and barely perceptible), were fantastic. At the end of each workshop in which you had both put your emotional and physical heart and soul into the stories, the games and the spontaneous responses - you still went away to adjust and fine tune what you planned for the next day in order to make it even more person centred and pertinent to each participant. We cannot wait to work with you again.

Never heard of you before; staying in Taunton for a few days with friends so was looking for theatre entertainment. Tourist Info came up with you. Went along not knowing what to expect and wow what a great experience. All in our 70s and had front row seats at Tacci-Morris Arts Centre. Enthralled was the word we all used to express our delight at your performance. Will certainly be looking out for your productions in/near South Devon. Boy on the Roof was so expressive and non-verbal communication so important. Thank you. Wendy
