Chellie

Reconnecting with her community and friends gave her safe space to test her boundaries in the studio

Colette

“I lose myself in Fallen Angels without being conscious of it. I have improved so much and it has empowered me. It’s scary but exhilarating.”

Dave

“‘Together While Apart’ has completely helped me… with my focus, my self-discovery”

Debbie

I think the Angels saved me as a person in recovery, and my sanity was saved throughout the difficult times that were ahead.

Jacqueline

“These workshops give me the opportunity to channel my energy into something positive.”

Kelly

“[My husband] is encouraging me, we are talking a lot more, it’s made me talk a lot more. I’m not hiding my emotions, I’m telling you what I feel, it’s really good.”

Laura

“There is nothing out there like it. I 100% agree that it works and helps many in recovery.”

Linda

“…it was as exhilarating as ever to be…. performing with my fellow travellers on the road to recovery and to be part of a piece that reflected Paul’s vision of hope for all those who have suffered the nightmare of addiction”

Louisa

“given starting ways to do our own choreography and coming up with our own dances broke down the power dynamics between the facilitator and the group and has given us the ability and freedom to input into the design and delivery of the workshops”

Marion

“Being part of the company, working with people directly and contributing to group activities and performances is giving me a lot of confidence which I never really had before…”

Tom

“That first session brought me to tears, something had happened deep within me and the feeling of freedom and relaxation was something new and lovely for me.”

Wolfie

“I have felt challenged at many a corner, but the drive, passion and love I have for art in performance has spurred me on.” Read Wolfie’s story…….”
