Help produce the #TrephinationTour!

Aim

Trephination for the Twenty-First Century is going on tour, reclaiming former operating theatres and asylums for the mad.

Trephination for the Twenty-First Century is going on tour!

Dates across the UK have been confirmed, with ongoing talks to take the tour out to venues across Europe, and as the #TrephinationTour's ACE funding deadline approaches, your help is needed to show the Arts Council that mentally ill stories told by mentally ill people are viable investments. 

Why is Trephination going on tour?

The mission #TrephinationTour seeks to accomplish is opening conversations about mental health and phenonema freed of diagnostic labels in local communities. These conversations, sparked by the show, will be facilitated in care conversations following every staging and in workshops where Amanda will guide participants through expressing their own subjective experiences.

Why should I donate?

The projected budget for the #TrephinationTour to pay participating artists a living wage is around £20,000, and the more outside funding Arts Council England sees going into the tour, the more likely they are to invest in fully funding the show. Any amount is a show of faith in the mad liberation work of this tour, and truly makes a difference.

How will I be credited?

If you provide it, your name will be listed in the programmes handed out at performances and in the collection of "trephinations" written by audience-participants in workshops at participating venues.
