Theatre-maker Tim Norwood teams with Dr Nicola Buckland (Department of Psychology) to produce a one-man show that uses storytelling, gentle humour and stripping to explore our relationship with our bodies and to challenge misconceptions about body image.
Tim and Nicola have also brought in a counsellor specialising in eating disorders to make sure the show is as constructive and supportive as possible and to provide aftercare for anyone affected by the themes.
The performance will be followed by a live Q&A with the project team. Questions for the Q&A can be submitted prior to the event via the form at the bottom of the page.
Please be aware the show contains mature themes, covers issues around eating disorders and features nudity. Suitable for over-18s only.
