IoPPN Presents: Stories of Addiction and Recovery - Screening & Discussion with the Recovery Street Film Festival

Honoured to be speaking next week at this event about @islingtonpeoplestheatre & our short film #therecoverists produced in conjunction with @camerawalaorg. The 3 minute short film gives a brief introduction to #recoveristtheatreproject, IPT's first project - an applied theatre project based on #creativeactivism.

@islingtonpeoplestheatre have led the way in the borough with it's work with marginalised communities, producing projects combining applied theatre practice and activism as a means of resistance for #appliedtheatreforsocialchange

Thank you again to @sobriety_films #maddiekitchen for inviting us!
