PSYCHEdelight is a participatory Theatre Company of Sanctuary founded in 2011 by Sophie Bertrand Besse, 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. We create new work engaging those least involved in arts, giving them an opportunity to express themselves and a platform to be heard. Our previous productions include Borderline, a satire of the Calais “Jungle” and Welcome to the UK! Sole Purpose Productions is a multi award winning theatre company set up in 1997 to use the discourse of imagination to investigate and illuminate social and public issues. We produce new dynamic theatre that contributes to social change, explores the dynamics of human relationships and promotes good relations. We bring art to the heart of the social, economic and creative life of communities locally, nationally and internationally. We have been working with refugees and asylum seekers in Northern Ireland for the past five years delivering Conversation Cafes, Theatre in Langunage workshops and productions on the refugee experience.
