Part TED talk. Part storytelling. Part stand up. This is Stand-Up Therapy.
In an Edinburgh Fringe first, Ola Aralepo showcases his research, conducted at London’s Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.
The award-winning speaker, psychotherapist and comedian takes the audience through this interactive session, exploring their own oppressive ‘voices’…without that awkward ‘audience participation’ feeling!
With Polyphony, Ola shows how Stand-Up Therapy is being developed as an entertaining community resource to help promote mental health awareness and emotional wellbeing issues through performance. He explores the humorous activation of emotional resonance as a Freire- inspired ‘liberation psychagogy’.
Come and learn, participate or simply sit and enjoy the most entertaining lecture NOT YET available as a TED Talk and the cheapest, funniest therapy session not yet available on the NHS.
