About Fabric Dreams Theatre

Hi there! My name is Caroline and I've been an Actor for over a decade, performing on  both stage and screen. I have a BA Honours degree in Acting, a Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Children and Young People's Mental Health, and a wealth of experience in working with children. I am a freelance performer. Working with children is my favourite thing to do and running drama games and devising theatre are my passions. 

My first show that I wrote, directed and starred in was created when I learnt about the worrying statistics involved with children and young people's mental health, with 1 in six children likely to have a mental health concern. I believe that prevention is better than cure and that early intervention is important to keep children on the right track for a healthy and fulfilling life. Drama can help children to foster a sense of belonging, which directly impacts their self-esteem. It can help children to improve their confidence, build relationships, trust, empathy, respect for themselves and others, and just have fun being creative in a relaxed and nurturing environment. All of this contributes to their overall happiness and mental wellbeing, as well as helping them to build and develop essential life skills such as communication, overcoming challenges and working collaboratively. This is why I am passionate about running drama clubs and workshops for children.
