International Overdose Awareness Day: Rituals Workshop

Create a performance as an act of respect and remembrance for International Overdose Awareness Day, held annually on 31st August.

We are looking for people in / affected by substance use and recovery to join us for a participatory workshop in Manchester, where we will create a piece of theatre, dance, or performance together, inspired by the idea of ritual. Following the workshop, we will work together to present the outcome at a special event locally.

Come along and be part of creating some brand-new rituals for the recovery community in Manchester. Maybe there is someone specific you would like to remember? Or maybe you would find it empowering to be part of a group ritual? This workshop is for those affected by substance use, addiction and/or in recovery.

This workshop takes place in the Events Space at HOME, 2 Tony Wilson Place, Manchester M15 4FN

Delivered by Portraits of Recovery in collaboration with small performance adventures.

For the creative writing online part of the project, small performance adventures will be working with Outsiders Project in Bournemouth, TiPP in Manchester and Outside Edge in London.
