The Red Earth Collective is pleased to be a main partner on this year's Bedlam Festival where we will be delivering creative workshops for patients in some of Birmingham’s secure mental health settings.
We will also be providing training to artists to help them to deliver workshops and events in the community, in hospitals and in prisons to support the needs of people with lived experience of poor mental health.
Bedlam is an annual mental health arts festival produced by a partnership of creative and community partners across Birmingham including The Mental Health Trust, Sampad, The MAC and Birmingham REP.
The festival is funded through the Heart of England Inclusive Communities Fund and will include live music, theatre, dance and art at venues across Birmingham culminating in a celebratory event and performance at Birmingham REP in October.
The festival provides opportunities for Red Earth Collective to work with patients in secure settings. These are the people who are usually forgotten about when arts festivals are planned and our involvement means that they will not be ignored.
