Every Wrong Direction CIC is building a network of artists, practitioners and partner organisations interested in creative work around difficult human realities, connection, emotional literacy and community wellbeing.
Performers
Trauma-informed therapists
Writers
Every Wrong Direction CIC is beginning to build a network of artists, facilitators and trauma-informed practitioners interested in performance, storytelling, emotional literacy and socially engaged creative work.
We would like to hear from performers, writers, spoken word artists, singer/songwriters and theatre-makers with one or two person shows exploring difficult human realities such as mental health, addiction, family systems, shame, grief, identity, recovery, social exclusion, abuse, survival, connection or breaking cycles of harm.
We are also interested in hearing from trauma-informed counsellors, therapists, facilitators and practitioners who may be able to advise, collaborate, support safeguarding thinking or help ensure the work remains emotionally safe, ethical and appropriately held.
We are especially looking to connect with organisations, programme leads, educators, project managers and community partners who work with groups that may benefit from our performances, discussions and workshops.
Every Wrong Direction CIC is interested in developing work with settings including universities, psychology and counselling courses, family centres, recovery and addiction programmes, mental health projects, community organisations, care settings, prisons and other spaces where creative, trauma-informed discussion may be useful.
If you work with a group, programme or organisation that could benefit from gentle, trauma-informed creative work around communication, emotional literacy, connection, family experience, recovery, shame, survival or difficult life stories, please get in touch.
We are actively seeking funding and partnerships to make this work as affordable as possible and, where funding allows, free to suitable community programmes.
Every Wrong Direction CIC is not a therapy service, crisis service or counselling provider. Our work is creative, reflective and community-focused. Any involvement from therapeutic or trauma-informed practitioners would support safe practice, ethical thinking, signposting, training or collaboration rather than clinical treatment.
