We continue to hold the loss of our colleague and friend Annabel Rook. She lived her life with such a profound sense of hope, joy and determination to nurture the world into a better place.
Annabel was the founder of MamaSuze, and co-directed the Luna project at Feedback Theatre with passion, creativity, generosity and kind leadership, creating a space to elevate the voices of women who have survived forced displacement and gender based violence.
She touched so many lives through her passion and creativity. We will hold this spirit close as we continue the work with the Luna project, always imagining what she would say along the way.
CREATING COMMUNITIES THROUGH TRANSFORMATIVE THEATRE PRACTICE
Feedback Theatre is a process-led collective of theatre, movement and research artists dedicated to socially engaged creative practice.
We value the process of making work and the evaluation of our methodologies as equal to the products we create.
We see performance as a space for dialogue and intentionally construct our work to allow this.
We believe that participation in the creative process can foster wellbeing and bring about individual and social change.
We are committed to exploring ethical ways of creating work that connects, activates and empowers everyone involved.
We are fierce advocates of creating inclusive spaces where everyone is welcome regardless of their background or ability.
CURIOSITY > EMBODIMENT > COLLABORATION > REFLECTION
We do this by:
- working collaboratively with artists, academics and human rights and women rights organisations
- co-creating projects and co-evaluating outcomes with diverse communities in devising their own responses to what matters to them. In particular we work with young people and women who survived forced displacement and gender based violence to tackle isolation, discrimination and menstrual stigma.
- welcoming, supporting and platforming the voices of displaced communities seeking refuge.
Feedback Theatre is a Community Interest Company (CIC) and a Company Limited by Guarantee incorporated in 2016. Company number 10099081
