Regardless of Age - We Engage!
We believe in the POWER of well-being
Well-being comes in many forms, we use history and culture as part of our theatrical process, to explore identity and feelings through stories and music.
Breathing techniques, posture, movement and creative expression releases inner tensions
builds friendships trust and confidence to embrace life and improve selfworth
We work with those living with long term illness and trauma
Red Sauce Theatre created Themed Arts and Culture Resource Boxes to help community groups and care-homes throughout the Covid Pandemic 2020-2021
Red Sauce partnered with PAMODZI CREATIVES and their Creative Transitions Schools Project to help primary school children across Portsmouth during the covid pandemic
2020
So incredibly lucky to work with the wonderful Roni Edwards from Pamodzi Creatives, creating a SOW from the PHSE curriculum.
The Victorian Lady, found herself lost in time, looking for the year 1919!! She met lots of children on their way to school and talked in great length with them all about “The Spanish Flu” They in turn told her all that had been happening here in Portsmouth one hundred years later!! The Victorian Lady discussed hygiene, medical matters, healthy eating and showed them all how to breathe, keep calm and centre yourself before dashing off back in time!
RED SAUCE THEATRE FUNDED ARE FUNDED BY ARTS AWARD £10,000 2015-2016
We went into our local community and into local care homes to deliver Performing Arts Workshops and Performances to the elderly and those living with dementia.
Two casts of people living with dementia, were in a film, they loved the drama classes and the whole experience of rehearsals and on the performance day, I was surprised to find them all waiting for me in full make-up and costume. They enjoyed watching the films back, they also found it very funny that staff took part too.
We created booklets with their names and stories and poems we facilitated during the workshops, below are a few of the videos we made.
During our drama workshops, we created a devised theatre piece about what life was like living with dementia, which was seen by family and friends who thought the experience wonderful.
We created a booklet for those living with dementia to read, which we took into the community to test with positive results, we found the sensory book was a wonderful tool to use and share with a relative or friend, it explains how it feels to have dementia, we created fun poems and coping strategies we found helped.
We are so thrilled to have worked with some local organisations delivering our own unique brand of well-being. Please do look at our videos we are super proud of the work we do in our community and see what they say about us!!
