Using embodied work and clay she shares ways to encourage creative exploration of our inner world.</p><p></p><h2>About the presenter</h2><h3>Polly Teale</h3><p>Polly has an MA in Arts Psychotherapy from the Institute for the Arts in Therapy and Education.</p><p>Polly has a private practice, teaches at the Institute for the Arts in Therapy and Education, and is a tutor and supervisor for Trauma Informed Schools UK.</p><p>She also leads a strand of the training at Guildhall Drama School and believes that psychological understanding can deeply enrich the student's practice, as well as supporting creative freedom and personal growth.</p><p>Polly was Artistic Director of theatre company Shared Experience, with productions she wrote and directed regularly transferring to the West End and touring internationally.
