About Creatively Minded Men
After the success of our Creatively Minded Men project this year, we are welcoming a new cohort of young men from November 2025.
This project is for people who identify as a man, aged 18-30, who have experienced mental health problems and have not engaged in theatre as an adult.
This is a free-to-access, year-long programme. It will start with 6 months of music making, using live instruments as well as teaching you how to use Logic Pro to produce your own tracks. We will then introduce some theatre practice, and you will use your music to create a live performance. You will be able to shape what this looks like.
The aims and sessions times are the same as on the attached doc. Still Wednesdays 4pm - 6pm, starting from 5th November.

"This group has helped me a lot, I came from quite an aggressive rural town and I think I channelled a lot of that aggression into myself… because I wasn't around positive examples of masculinity. So, this group has been so lovely for me. To be around creativity with the others."

"One of the first things we learnt was how to really listen to other people when we're making music. That, for me, has been a chance to hear other people and listen and be in a space where regardless of whatever else is going on, you can express yourself in an environment without any judgement."
