“Drama and Theatre is a powerful tool for change. BearFace Theatre practitioners are very skilled in creating a safe and trusting environment, then gently leading individuals and groups through sessions, so that they participate fully and benefit from a positive experience. I have seen their work produce great outcomes time and time again with a variety of vulnerable and hard-to-reach groups of young people and adults.”
