All In Your Head

About
All In Your Head is a one woman show which premiered online on Valentines Day 2021 to an audience of over 350 households.
It received a 4 star review in inews and was featured on BBCLondon.
The project, created and directed by Lucy Dear and written by Safaa Benson - Effiom brings real women's accounts of domestic abuse to the public consciousness and was created to raise awareness and encourage conversations on domestic abuse and coercive control.
The piece is designed to be performed alongside post show workshops and panel discussions.
The creative team are currently working towards live theatre performances of the piece, and working with survivor groups at Southall Black Sisters on the themes of the show.

"I feel great after the workshop. what was discussed that day gave me courage."

"I learned important information about toxic behaviour patterns and that what may appear as normal on the outset doesn't always have to be so."

"I liked the fact that we were made to feel like we were all part of a big group and not alone in what we'd gone through."
