PSYCHEdelight Theatre company

PSYCHEdelight is a participatory Theatre Company of Sanctuary founded in 2011 by Sophie Besse Bertrand, a playwright and theatre director trained in both drama and therapy.
​
We celebrate diversity and promote social inclusion by bringing marginalised communities and local people together through our creations and workshops. Our language is mainly physical and visual, we work around trauma, finding new ways to express it whilst also empowering and celebrating the people who experienced it. Clowning and visual poetry are our favourite tools, you can read more about our approach HERE.
