Devising project:
Since 2020, Stand Easy has been working with Emergency Responders, we now run a yearly devising project for retired Emergency Responders.
This project usually happens in March or April and runs for 3 weeks., it is a chance for retired Emergency Responders to get together with like-minded folk, share their stories and try something new. The project culminates in the performance of a piece created by the group. There is no obligation to perform however, previously some participants have decided to take part in the workshops but not the performance, this is absolutely fine.
The project is about coming together and having fun, those who have taken part previously tell us they feel more confident, happier and more positive about the future.
“Thank you everyone for making it happen, there’s been so many laughs but also moments of incredible joy and excitement. I’m looking forward to seeing the play on screen and sharing it with family and friends, they will however never really understand the full range of emotions that have been the last 3 weeks. Thanks again to [you all] from the bottom of my heart, it’s been a blast. ”
Previously the project has taken place in Dundee and Lanarkshire. Accommodation is provided for those who don’t live in the local area and all travel costs are also covered.
Although we don’t other creative activities for retired Emergency Responders we do host regular get-togethers so past participants. Retired ER participants are also welcome to join our Veterans weekly workshops in Dundee if they wish.
