Today we were very privileged to be able to have 'Theatre for Life' visit school to perform 'Silent Mind'. The Mayflower Engage and Solent Mind were the producers of this play.
The play focuses on Mental Health.
The play was brilliantly put together giving us a direct response of how a certain person in a particular trigger of emotion might respond to certain things in life.
They also gave us tan understanding of how others surrounded by the emotions and triggers and how they might be feeling due to the impact of a loved one going through this particularly difficult time. There were many strategies mentioned during the performance of how to deal with difficulties during these emotional times.
They involved us in practicing mindfulness and breathing techniques while thinking about what makes us feel anxious. They then moved on to think about what makes us happy and to fulfil that thought to over power the negative.
