Under My Skin - T0322348812After last year's success, Unbroken Festival returns to Theatre503. Featuring new writing, live music, visual art, workshops, a short film screening and various panel discussions Unbroken presents a series of artistic responses to World Mental Health Day. Bella's life is messy and difficult but at least she has Sean Barnet: the fittest, cleverest boy in the whole school. The only problem is, she's never spoken a word to him. As Bella tries to become part of Sean's life, she discovers things she never expected and struggles to understand. Commissioned by Oxfordshire County Council's Public Health Directorate and produced by Pegasus Theatre, Under My Skin is a fast-paced, funny and hard-hitting play about self-harm, which has toured to schools across Oxfordshire, playing to more than 5,000 students in Years 8 and 9 so far. In 2016, it was shortlisted as a finalist for a Royal Society of Public Health Mental Wellbeing Award.Author Ali Taylor. Director Jonathan Lloyd. | |

The Showcase - T03395685UNBROKEN 2017 is a mixed arts, mental health awareness festival which will present a series of artistic responses to World Mental Health Day in October 2017. The festival's main aim is to increase awareness of the issues surrounding mental illness, to reduce any attendant stigma by opening up the conversation, and to confound expectations as to what exactly a production about 'mental health' might involve! UNBROKEN made its debut as a sold-out ?mini-festival' at Theatre503 on World Mental Health Day last October. This year it returns with the inaugural UNBROKEN Short Film Prize at The Frontline Club, a practical Art Therapy taster workshop, a literary event with Charlie Sheppard, Publishing Director at Andersen Press, and Under My Skin, a powerful play about adolescent mental health by award-winning playwright Ali Taylor; all having been added to the art exhibition, live music, new writing, original choreography and panel discussions that proved such a hit last year. | |

Featuring new writing, live music, visual art, workshops, a short film screening and various panel discussions Unbroken presents a series of artistic responses to World Mental Health Day. In this session, Charlie Sheppard, Publishing Director at acclaimed children's publisher Andersen Press, will give us a general overview of the issue of mental health in today's children's books, looking at how often the subject is dealt with, what approaches authors tend to take and whether or not the way in which it is spoken about or dealt with has changed over recent years. She will then share with us some examples from Andersen's own output ? from beautiful picture books to teen and YA volumes that might just make you laugh and cry within the same chapter. Bookworms of all ages are guaranteed to enjoy this session and we hope to see children, teenagers, parents, guardians, teachers, librarians and writers in the audience together, along with any other interested parties!Author Charlie Sheppard. | |
