What participants have said:

"A wonderful sense of affinity. A pot pourri of honesty, openness, courage and support. RB (IT Consultant)

"I received tremendously from the workshop – thank you, thank you, thank you – it’s different approach to what I’ve ever tried and I liked the fun and realness of it – feel enriched by it. It was a powerful, deep and very allowing space -  experienced depths of feelings within and felt able to explore madness and ecstasy." SG (Healer)

"I discovered that I am unique – that there is no point comparing myself to others. That sometimes it is better for me to be silent/ no words – to just accept or trust my thoughts or feelings. I learnt to trust myself more and others. SB (Counsellor)

Throughout the workshop my sense of self grew, as a lotus flower from the lake. VT, (Psychiatric Nurse)

Unlock Creativity, Self-Expression and Passion for Life
How to Free your Creative Spirit through Drama

by Claire Schrader, Director of Making Moves

You'd love to be more creative. Every so often you feel the urge to be creative. But when you get to expressing your creativity in whatever form, somehow you can't get it out. Or you find your efforts disapppointing.

You are aware too, that there's a rich emotional world hidden inside you. But you feel blocked from expressing your emotions or you feel overwhelmed by how deeply you feel - and so it's better to stuff it all down.

people at playThe truth of it is, that the more we play in life the happier and more fulfilled we are.

The most successful people in life are those who know how to play.

Look at Richard Branson, a man who truly knows how to play and how to inspire all those who come into contact with him.

It is also true that our society provides very few healthy outlets for emotion, and most of us are swimming in toxic emotion that is supressing our life energies and preventing us from operating at our highest potential.

Yet, the price of growing up means that many of us have forgotten how to play. Or perhaps we never knew how.

And play is one of the keys to being able to access our creativity, and experience the joy of being truly alive.

And sadly many people die without having expressed what is within them.

claireI can resonate since as a child I suffered from shyness and I spent a large portion of my adult life in hiding and in suppressing my emotions.

I discovered that drama was a powerful means to explore the many unexpressed parts of myself, stretch beyond my limitations, break out of my box, and express my true authentic spirit. And very rapidly I and my life began to change. I was at last free to choose my life instead of my life choosing me.  

I can truly say that my life has been transformed as a result of discovering drama. I have achieved things I would never have dreamed possible. This includes becoming a performer myself, receiving awards and nominations for my first play, being featured in women's magazines and on the radio for my fire-eating act "La Dame de Flamme, the fire-eating ballerina", and performing at a Royal Function.

Over the years, I have explored many avenues and I made many mistakes along the way and as a result have developed an approach that will to make the journey easier and quicker for you. I have helped countless people break out of their boxes and now I am passing on that knowledge to others so that more can benefit. Click here to find out more about my story.

My approach is a liberating, fun and creative way of working using highly effective drama tools. I work through archetypes and myths, a potent way of accessing the power that lies dormant within you, enabling you to express your emotions in an inspiring way, and to heal or transform any unconscious blocks that are holding you back.

I discovered than I'm more creative than thought I was and that I can express myself with great clarity and force, skill and beauty. I realised that I have hidden depths as we do we all, and that there is always more to discover. I discovered that in doing/taking part in this work and can be/become anything I want to be.... as in life, and to follow any strand that feels interesting and has meaning for me. M.R. (Editor)
