We are Many Minds, a Bristol based mental health charity.
Our vision is for people who have experience of mental ill-health to be empowered to realise their full potential through creativity and performance.
Many Minds mission is to increase access to and participation in the arts for people who identify with experiences of mental ill-health and to promote equality, connection, understanding and awareness in the wider public through performance.
We run weekly workshops in theatre making to devise and create high quality contemporary performance. We work with individuals to engage with creativity, improve confidence, self-esteem and build social skills and networks.

New R&D Mini-Series
From 10th February to 31st March 2026 we will be running a new series, themed around Collective Dreaming- imagining the future that we want to see.
We’ll be exploring this topic using our sense, our imagination, and our current relationships to identity and culture, formulating new ideas and processes that will influence our future projects and performances.
