Meet Tim

I am the creator and chief facilitator of Play2yourStrengths.

My journey began in primary school teaching. I soon started running drama and music sessions in schools, whilst also performing in various acting roles - from Panto to Pinter! This led on to the world of musical comedy, improvisation and clown, culminating in a one-man comedy show which toured to Canada.

Subsequently I trained as a Dramatherapist, thus combining education and therapy work in schools, theatres, care homes, gardens and arts festivals to list but a few.

Play2yourStrengths implements education, well-being and performance elements into a new collaboration of playful initiatives where my experiences as a creative facilitator has shaped a new approach, and a new collection of workshops.

These sessions explore our potential, as individuals, but also how we interact and empathise with others in small or larger group situations. Through the power of drama, movement and play, you will have the chance to explore your potential and also thrive from the alliances we have with our fellow humans
