Continuing the Conversation with Sadie, Suzanne & Amy: The Art of Care: Creativity, Community and Connection with Suzanne and Amy

In her first ever tri‑conversation (because Sadie never does things by halves), she brings together Suzanne Lofthus, Artistic Director of Cutting Edge Theatre, and Amy, a creative practitioner working with young people and disabled adults. Together, they explore community, connection, and the subtle, often unseen moments that shape how people feel held, included, and truly themselves. The episode also shines a light on Creative Care — an approach that began in America and is quietly transforming how we support people. It works, it’s imaginative, and it deserves its own shout‑out. A warm, honest, slightly chaotic‑in‑the‑best‑way conversation… with just enough mystery woven through it that listeners may find themselves wondering what else is happening beneath the surface — and pressing play to find out. https://cuttingedgetheatre.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/CuttingEdgeTheatreScotland https://www.instagram.com/cuttingedge_theatre?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Chapters00:00 Introduction to Creative Care02:24 Roots and Motivation in Creative Care06:09 The Emotional Landscape of Creative Facilitation12:37 Creating Safe Spaces for Expression14:42 Navigating Emotional Realities in Care17:12 The Transformative Power of Community Theatre20:50 The Importance of Communication in Care25:53 Building Confidence and Inclusivity30:57 Challenging Misconceptions About Disability37:58 Empathy and Connection in Community39:52 Leadership and Future Possibilities44:46 Inclusivity in Theatre and Care Homes46:52 Creative Collaboration and Future Projects50:02 Vision for the Future of Creative Care54:45 The Power of Imagination in Care01:04:55 Closing Reflections on Creativity and Care
