facilitationyoung peopleIn 2023, Bradley worked with What Happens Now? an outdoor performing arts summer camp for children aged 4-6 years old, aiming to build up confidence in performing, as well as young peoples’ relationship with the outdoors, teaching them that all the world truly is a stage.
At the RCS, Bradley led a number of workshops for young people aged 12-15 years, building their skills in world building and collaborative story telling. The young people devised scenes set in The Inbetween (limbo), honing skills in characterisation, teamwork, directing, and performing.
In 2022, Bradley created a performance in collaboration with a group of 9-11 year olds from Easterhouse, titled Lost and Found, exploring ideas of growing up and lost childhood.
The show was set in The Land of Lost Things, a cardboard box world featuring the river of misplaced socks and the mountain of broken chairs. The work was tender, playful, and importantly inter-generational.
workshops for adultsRecently, Bradley has begun leading workshops under the banner of Tasseomancy, an icon of Glasgow’s poetry scene. These workshops are rooted in Bradley’s own poetry practice, including exercises that explore collaborative writing, post-modern approaches to poetry, and poetry as a visual art. Bradley has found that these workshops have fostered a sense of community between the writers, and has been overwhelmed by feedback expressing how these sessions have given experienced artists a new lens to approach writing through.
This is an example of piece created by one writer in a workshop, experimenting with creative approaches to omission poetry:
Bradley also leads workshops for non-professional artists, often using art-making to discuss topics pertinent to a certain community. In 2024, they visited a group at KMC to explore labyrinth making. The group chatted and collectively painted a labyrinth, leaving the art piece for all members of the community to walk and explore.
