SUMMARY:Explore Identity through Textile with WORD!
DESCRIPTION:  \nTextiles\, Identity & Mental Health – Making Something of Your Story\nWhat can a piece of fabric say about who we are\, what we’ve experienced and how we see the world? Join award-winning comedian and theatre-maker Juliette Burton for a playful\, creative textiles workshop exploring mental health\, identity and self-expression.\nTaking inspiration from the creative process behind the costumes for Juliette’s show ExperiMental\, you’ll experiment with colour\, texture\, pattern and words to create a small textile piece of your own. There’s no right or wrong way to do it\, and no creative experience required—just the freedom to explore and make.\nIf you’d like to\, you’ll have the chance to share your finished textile piece as part of a special one-night-only WORD! gallery at Attenborough Arts Centre that evening. Your work will sit alongside a playful\, evolving display of words\, drawings and textiles—pegged to washing lines\, written on tables and walls (with banqueting cloth to catch it!) As part of the evening\, Juliette will take to the stage to perform\, ExperiMental – wearing the bespoke costumes that have grown out of her previous community textiles work. There will also be an opportunity to share your textile piece again at WORD!Fest at Leicester Central Library on 27 October.\n\n\nAll workshop attendees will be added to the guest list to watch the show for free \nFor more information or to register your interest please email volunteers@quetzal.org.uk  \n\nJuliette Burton: About the Facilitator \n\nJuliette Burton facilitates workshops in creative writing\, empowerment and mental health. With over a decade of sold-out shows at Edinburgh Fringe\, international tours and speaking engagements for organisations including Google\, Adobe\, KPMG\, Jaguar Land Rover and Merlin Entertainment\, Juliette combines humour\, lived experience and research to create engaging\, memorable and empowering experiences. Award-winning comedian and theatre-maker Juliette Burton is coming once again at Quetzal to deliver not one session but three sessions exploring textile and poetry.\nThis is the first workshop out of three leading up to WordFest! on the 27th October at Leicester City Library. \nMore about the other workshops below \nKindness as Empowerment with WORD! \n \nMental Health 101 with WORD! \n \n  \n\n
