How can art, culture, and heritage transform health, wellbeing, and social equity? This is a question we have been asking for over 40 years as we develop theatre projects that bring together artists, community organisations, practitioners, researchers, and policymakers to tackle health inequalities and embed creative practice at the heart of public life.

'Our Health, Our Stories' is an evening of reflection and awareness as we revive a small number of monologue pieces from the wealth of work in our back catalogue that demonstrates how art builds a healthier, fairer and more resilient community.

'Our Health, Our Stories' is an evening of reflection and awareness, featuring script-in-hand performances of monologues from the wealth of our work over the years! We strive to emphasising how the purpose of HABrum, how art builds a healthier, fairer and more resilient community, has been at our heart all along.

Featuring extracts from:

The Cervical Monologues – our first-ever monologue production, exploring women's lived experiences while demystifying cervical screening.
Talking Balls – comedic monologues erecting awareness and reducing the stigma surrounding male cancers.
Looking Back, Moving Forward – monologues inspired by the lived experiences of Birmingham's 50+ LGBTQ+ community, celebrating progress while reflecting on the journey towards equality.
The Power of Narrative – a collection of women's experiences of gynaecological cancers, encouraging conversations around testing, treatment and support.

Local actors Alison Belbin, Adaya Henry and Keiren Hamilton-Amos are joined by director Lorna Laidlaw to present this script-in-hand performance, sharing stories that explore health, lived experience and the power of storytelling.

Spotlight on... Word Lounge!

Launched in 2016, Word Lounge is our youth theatre company which is focused on working with young people ages 13-17 who are in care and/or young carers and/or young people with additional educational needs who are passionate about theatre and performance.

The programme involves 10 weekly Saturday sessions at the Midlands Art Center (MAC). These sessions are led by the ideas and collaborative performance piece of the young people, finishing with a live production in the Foyle performance space at the MAC.

This term, our Word Lounge Theatre Company will perform their brand new show ‘It’s A Kind Of…’
