We offer joyful creative, playful and narrative interventions and research to support climate and ecological action. We work in this way because we believe that joy is an essential site of resistance and strength. (Read more about what joy and creativity offer to climate and nature action.) We primarily use joy as an engagement technique to support the delivery of sustainability action, education, research or co-creation, but we also create spaces where cultivating joy and improving wellbeing are the only aims.

Previous organisations that Emma and Rachel have provided creative interventions for include: Bristol Climate & Nature Partnership, Sparks, Bricks Bristol and the Festival of Nature.

We are happy to work alongside you on any area of sustainability. We are based in Bristol but if you are further afield we can offer online sessions and, potentially, travel to your location.

Our Offerings

Workshops
We design and run creative and joyful workshops to support teams and communities. We can offer tested and polished workshops or can design a bespoke session. We can deliever in collaboration with your team or facilitate sessions by ourselves.
We can also offer series of workshops to support a community or team to work towards more ambitious goals.

Interventions
We can join larger events to offer creative and joyful interventions to help cultivate a creative, positive and playful mood and tone.
Perhaps you need an intervention to connect attendees, or something to lift energy after lunch. We can adapt to meet the needs of your event.

Narrative interventions
We can bring issues to life by creating narrative pieces that engage with a project or the experiences of a community. We work in many mediums including the written word, spoken word, and Forum theatre. We are also always happy to work with film-makers to produce videos, and to explore new mediums.

Research
We can support research projects as creative researchers and practitioners.
Our members have previously acted as researchers, research assistants and creative researchers for several interdisciplinary University of Bristol Brigstow Institute projects.
