Discovery College is delighted to be working with Creativity in Care  in partnership with acclaimed Caithness poet and playwright George Gunn.

Using language (poetry/dialogue), movement, music and objects (both made and found) the proposal is to create a piece of theatre that will challenge and stimulate the participants and performers (not everyone who participates may wish to perform) and will also illuminate and entertain a contemporary audience to experience a unique view of Caithness, her people and their place in the Highlands. The valuable resource of Caithness is the imagination and creativity of her people and the community spirit. The artwork developed through the Creativity in Care workshops will embrace and explore such issues as the care and maintenance of the environment, the wildlife, the fragility of the cliffs, the flagstone beds, the bogs, lochs and fields of Caithness and how they relate to the human population in terms of housing, social isolation, mental health, poverty and economic justice.

The Project Manager and one other staff member of Creativity in Care on rotation, will facilitate monoprint workshops (or similar) which will form the backdrop of the theatrical landscape. In addition, participant's artwork will be created into items of clothing as part of their own identity in the performance.
