We walk the talk!

We:

1) bring renewed hope and joy to those struggling emotionally

2) inspire conversation, ignite joint energy and galvanise action to:

- help persuade forward thinking leaders and stakeholders to take notice of how high-quality creative engagement can support mental and emotional wellbeing in a cost effective manner

- help address the challenges facing our overwhelmed mental health services and workforce, and those struggling emotionally.

How?

Not in an academic way as we think the best way to connect people is through creativity and humanity.

Our unconventional use of opera in musical theatre has been unique and successful: through our ‘wow’ productions, interactive catalyst workshops and online courses that reach and connect ‘everyone together in the room’, including those whose lives and minds can be the hardest to reach and those who care for them, including our healthcare workers. Many of whom have limited/no access to the arts and are unfamiliar with the operatic voice - yet stand to benefit so much from this.

As per the research: a review released by the World Health Organisation in 2019, based on 900 research studies, highlights the role of art engagement in two areas: 1) prevention and promotion of health, and in 2) the management and treatment of health conditions.
