Circus Berserkus!

In November I had posted about a project a friend of mine was involved with, Lookup Theatre. Talk to Youth Lately (TTYL) mental health social circus program is a group of young people 16-30 who have experienced mental health issues or are close friends and family members of those who have.  TTYL uses a youth engagement approach, so all performances are written by young people, together with TTYL professional staff.

TTYL has built a new show called Circus Berserkus for post-secondary students aimed at addressing mental health stigma and promoting mental health recovery. This performance will focus on recovery based messages of hope, and the idea that mental health and illnesses occur on a continuum, which are all human experiences.  Using theatre and circus skills like juggling, acro-balancing, aerial circus and comedy, they tell their stories and connect with the audience.
