walk in my shoes

This workshop begins with a simple instruction: follow me.

​

What happens next depends on who is leading. Rope around your legs, clay weights, latex gloves — asked to keep up, sit on the floor, retrieve something from under a desk. Wax in your ears, then asked to take dictation. Wax paper over your eyes, then handed a paintbrush. This extends to mental as well as physical states. Lie in a coffin-sized space — a tomb, a closed black box — for a sustained period. You will struggle. That is the point.

​

Indifference is almost always a failure of imagination rather than compassion. Once you have spent time inside someone else's constraints, you do not forget it. Participants are guided to design and facilitate their own version — making this a methodology anyone can adapt for their own experience or cause.

​

Suitable for creative groups, institutions, medical humanities, disability arts organisations, and trauma-informed training contexts. Available as a one-day or weekend programme. Contact for details.
