What We Do

We support individuals and groups to create unique puppets while exploring themes of identity, storytelling, and self-expression. Our hands-on activities combine crafting skills with open discussion. Where possible we source materials locally, often using secondhand, recyclable or sustainable materials. We offer a range of puppet-making activities of all shapes and sizes, if you want to find out more, get in touch!

Our drama workshops are a great way to introduce the ideas of drama, movement, story-telling and role-play to people of all ages, in a supportive group setting. Sessions can include exercises such as object manipulation, story-boarding, use of props and improvisation, helping to build confidence, communication skills, and emotional awareness. Our approach can be adapted to suit anyone aged 7+.

Film-making workshops allow participants to discover the art of digital storytelling through storyboarding, camera work, and audio & video production. Participants learn basic filming, editing, and drama techniques while creating their own short films, supported by the How It Felt team. We can provide equipment including digital cameras, tripods, external microphones and lights. There are many different roles needed during film-making, so there's something for everyone!

We love to facilitate collaborative art projects that bring people together to create something meaningful for their communities, all while building confidence, connections and reducing isolation. Previous projects have included revamped play areas, murals and public exhibitions. Please get in touch if you have a project idea - big or small, we are excited to hear about it!

We provide a range of arts & crafts sessions, which can be adapted to suit all ages. Activities can include recycled crafts using household objects, fabric art and printmaking, drawing, collage, clay, and much more! Get in touch if your group would like to try a new art style.

Mental health and wellbeing are an incredibly important part of our lives. We offer creative workshops that can focus on a range of themes such as anxiety, self care, mindfulness and identity. Using creative methods we explore these topics together, facilitating supportive discussion in a welcoming environment. Please note we are not trained therapists and our services shouldn't be used in place of professional support. However we are able to provide signposting to local services, and all facilitators are Mental Health First Aid Trained.

We love to work in partnership with organisations to facilitate trips to green spaces and places of culture in and around Dundee, for local community members. While bigger trips are subject to funding, we have been lucky enough to take groups to Tentsmuir Nature Reserve in partnership with Nature Scot and RSPB Scotland, and often coordinate local trips to community gardens, parks, museums and the Dundee Rep Theatre.
