BREATHE

Mobilise Arts have created BREATHE - a free Digital Theatre Zine for schools and young people aged 11-16 years for World Mental Health Day on Tuesday 10 October 2023. A Digital Theatre Zine is a hybrid digital form of visual arts and performance and an innovative way to connect with young people.

BREATHE is a 12 minute video featuring digital drawings, animation, spoken word, songs and music with interactive content by a diverse collective of emerging artists from Worcestershire focused on themes such as loneliness, wellbeing, anger, nature, glimmers, self-care, shame and creativity.

The content has been made through lived experience and supported by a mental health counsellor. The free digital theatre zine is available for schools in Worcestershire, accompanied by interactive activities and a creative PSHE lesson plan for delivery on World Mental Health Day.

The FREE digital theatre resource has been supported by Severn Arts, Worcestershire County Council Public Health and Divisional Funds from Councillor Matthew Jenkins and Joint Leader of Worcester City Council, Councillor Lynn Denham, Chair of Health and Wellbeing Committee.
