So I have been lucky enough to have a sneak peak at the rehearsal process as well as watch the press night performance and was totally blown away by this production. If you are after a gritty show which challenges you emotionally and deals with trauma in a safe space let me leave the ticket page here.
Borrowing words from the Space website, I thought I would share more details: “You’re always talking about how you just need that one story. That one break. So let me do this. Let me give this to you” Inspired by a true story, DREAM SCHOOL is a thriller about a group of students who accidentally find themselves in a cult. When a student’s father, Bobby, moves into the student halls, his charisma, care and knowledge are enticing. But as he drives the students towards self-improvement, boundaries become blurred and their safety is uncertain. A decade later, ex-student Betty assumes it’s safe to tell their story. But are they just one memory away from reliving it all? DREAM SCHOOL is an exploration of the relationship between storytelling and trauma, asking the question, ‘when is a story ready to tell and how do we tell it?’. This project forms part of A Call for Safe Practice, a long-term ambition to provide accredited guidance and training on how to make trauma-informed art safely, made possible thanks to the University of Greenwich, Arts Council England and all those who have donated and supported us.

Been a little quiet as both my partner and I have been unwell. When I started to feel better I was eager to pick up my camera. I had a jewellery shoot booked in for today and was immediately inspired to have some fun when I originally saw the pieces. I wanted to think outside the box and do something a different. The curves inspired me to have a play with light and shadows. Can not wait to share the images from today with you soon.
