Development workshops with MAC-UK (2012)
MAC-UK was founded in 2008 by clinical psychologist Dr Charlie Alcock to engage with some of the UK’s most excluded and deprived young people who are most in need of support but least likely to access it. The unique MAC-UK model takes mental health into their territories on their terms to promote positive mental health through innovative youth led projects and one-to-one Street Therapy work.
Playing ON worked with young MAC-UK service users over a 10-week period with the group participating in weekly workshops tailor made to their needs, facilitating a process for them to share their stories, which were then developed into an hour long theatre piece. This was performed at the Roundhouse studio theatre in Camden.
