Solace and resilience for a Covid-19 world.
At the heart of this project is the passionate belief that art can heal and renew. Indeed, at its best, it may be the most powerful way of helping groups of people who, in these difficult and troubled times, have been on the frontline in coping with a world turned upside down. How To Survive And Thrive In An Impossible World (with a piano!) is a unique entertainment of great songs, wild stories, jokes, amazing characters and much thoughtfulness. Off the wall it may be, but at its heart is a powerful message about wellbeing, resilience and positivity. Based upon award-winning psychologist and adventurer Steve Bonham's book of the same name, this is a unique way of helping us all feel better about ourselves and less confronted by the world which many of us find ourselves living in. |
And in amongst the tales of spirit dogs, eccentric parents, world long-distance minibikers, trainee stuntmen, and 12th-century German abbesses, the latest insights from neuropsychology, psychotherapy, and evolutionary biology are subtly woven in. The power of song and story to engage the human mind at a conscious and unconscious level is increasingly understood and this makes How To Survive And Thrive In An Impossible World (with a piano!) potent and potentially transformational.
With over 70% of the UK population reporting high levels of anxiety within a 12 month period it is time to: take first step; be wild; be strong; travel with companions and be experimental. |
