Johnny's words:

I have been working with Lou for 2 years now and our “work” together has tremendously impacted my practice as an artistic director/choreographer and has inspired a unique collaboration to work towards a new piece of physical theatre titled ’Square One’. The Artist Wellbeing practice that I learnt and benefited from has created beautiful and memorable moments where I had time and space to reflect, heal, grow in an environment where I felt safe and supported while most vulnerable. The psychotherapeutic techniques, the wealth of experience and immense empathy that Lou brought in our work was truly transformational, and so much so that I cannot conceive developing further artistic and choreographic practice without this type of collaborative support, especially when the work touches on past traumas and hard hitting taboo subjects. I really believe that any artistic endeavour or process that involves people, creatives, artists, audiences, communities can only benefit from the wholesome support that Lou’s integrated practice provides.  To summarise it: It’s like an all-rounded, all-in-one, 1-2-1, mental, emotional, psychological, theatrical, dramaturgical support and collaboration to look at the hard and heavy stuff and find ways to process them to make them a little softer and lighter.
