Alongside my own practice as an artist, I work as a freelance drama/theatre facilitator, having led workshops and weekly sessions for all ages and abilities, from primary school students to older people, including those with complex needs and experiences of mental ill-health. I truly believe in the benefits of creativity to wellbeing. I am particularly interested in working with groups who do not currently have access to theatre and the Arts or who experience barriers.

 

Previous workshops include: Lightbox Theatre, Social Skills Agency, Travelling Light Theatre Company, Milestones Trust, Bristol Academy of Drama, Prime Theatre, The Big Act, Myers-Insole Local Learning, Many Minds, Bristol Old Vic, primary and secondary schools.

Carlota is very gentle and understanding - feel very held and listened to within the space. She is able to hold the space with a very calm authority, and engaging presence and so much creativity.

I loved the women's theatre group because it felt safe to explore theatrical dynamics and creative ways to interact with ourselves and others.

– Borderlands Women's Theatre Group participant

My sessions are tailored to each group's interests and needs and can focus on a variety of skills, such as devised theatre, clowning, improv, creative writing, autobiography, physical theatre, classical and contemporary text. I also deliver facilitator training.
