The Showcase
UNBROKEN 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.
