Don’t take It from us..

I feel like the whole experience worked just so well. It happened at the best time. I feel like as a performer it’s always very important to know how to manage yourself and your mental health, and I feel like the experience was so neurologically calming. The mindfulness and breathwork we did, is something I would definitely carry on and hopefully use for the rest of my life. Virág Hankó

I felt very calm and very mindful and it felt like a lot of like a weight was lifted. It was really nice to just have some time to zone in and listen to my body and to my brain when it’s going through some things, so it’s just nice to relax. Phoebe Maeodell

Beyond the Artist is something that I wouldn’t usually go to but I am so glad that I did. As someone who doesn’t give a lot of time for myself and my wellbeing, this workshop gave me the chance to open up that door in such a welcoming and non-judgemental space. I learnt so much about myself and the people around me and thoroughly enjoyed exploring a more connected side of myself. Jazz Phillips

I really enjoyed this workshop, I feel like it really healed me as an artist and healed my inner child. I really enjoyed it! Melody Adberrakib

We really enjoyed it, especially going into third year in drama school it's really important to take the time to actually think about what we're doing and why we’re doing it. It’s so easy to get caught up in our everyday life and ‘Beyond the Artist’ really just made me think and really made me breathe as well, which breathe you don't think about a lot, so it was really helpful.  Thank you so so much .Joy Silweya

I really enjoyed ‘Beyond The Artist’ because I feel like especially where I’m at in my training, we don’t take time to realise how we actually feel and actually having time and space to do that with people in a safe space, so I’m very grateful for that, thank you. - Tulle Slads

I really liked ‘Beyond The Artist it was really freeing, it was nice to just sit and be, instead of being on the go as a performer all the time. - Jess Fudge

It was nice to be able to unleash positivity and just feel seen in a room with like-minded creatives, and just be… me! - Maisie Smith

I’ve just finished the most amazing workshop ever. I learnt so much from it, and I am walking away feeling like a new version of myself, and I would genuinely recommend anyone to do this, because it’s just one of the best things i’ve experienced. Thank you!!. -

I just had a really, really fun workshop with ‘Beyond the Artist’ It was so relaxing and just what I needed, and I feel so much more peace about the future now. - Keira Waring

It was really good and kind of spiritual. Akeem you were incredible, an amazing person to lead it, I couldn’t think of anyone better to do it! -

I Found the workshop very helpful and insightful, there’s often a lot of workshops that talk about mental health and mindfulness stuff and I think in modern age its often easy to brush it aside, or think that you know what it looks like. Maybe try a couple times here and there but not have it work in a way or just kind of go that’s a thing I should be doing that.. but I found Beyond the Artist was really practical in a sense to what we’re actually doing here. It very much got down to what is actually stopping us and limiting us and helping to dissolve that in a way that felt more rooted in technique, in practises, in research, in science in all of that, where a lot of the times it’s not. My worry was that it would be ‘wishy washy' but it wasn’t at all, therefore I found it very helpful and insightful.
