A Trace of Me
A Trace of Me
In 2015 and 2016, ice&fire delivered an artistic residency at mental health charity Room to Heal. A group of six met fortnightly to explore the therapeutic potential of creative expression and to carefully build the basis of a public-facing performance presented by the group. In June 2016, A Trace of Mewas performed at the British Library to a capacity audience. It was also performed at Room to Heal’s annual summer party.

It brought back my confidence and it made me have eye contact with people I’m talking with
