Description
Mary graduated from the teaching course at Central in 1972, and with an MA in Arts in Education in 1999.
The focus of her career has been the development and application of improvisational drama, and the use of these techniques and interventions in allowing participants to develop resilience and enable agency within their own unique and challenging situations. Using improvisation, storytelling and creative workshops, Mary worked with both children and adults in specific environments. These have included inpatient and outpatient units of the psychiatric department of Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Illinois and more recently, the Chelsea Children’s Hospital School in London, and women detainees of HMP.
