GIANTESS is a feel-good musical to be composed and curated by composer/conductor Dr Susannah Self. Through interactive workshops, a co-creation with neurodivergent young people will result in a performance that can be enjoyed by family and friends.

There is growing evidence of the benefits of music and art for people’s mental health. Being part of a group, singing, and forging friendships can have long-lasting benefits, and foster a sense of belonging, and having found a ‘tribe’. Help for Psychology is supporting this project, and will provide psychological support to ensure well-being throughout the project.

If you live in Norfolk, and your child wants to be involved in this free course, and is available between May and July (out of school hours), then please contact: [email protected]

Below are details of Giantess - the Story:

Sophia wakes up one morning to find that her foot won’t fit through her bedroom door. Suddenly, like Alice in Wonderland, she has grown too big. There is only one thing for it, she literally must break out of the house and join the giantesses who live in an enormous cave beneath the North Sea. In Celtic times, myth has it that a tribe of eight giantesses created the British Isles by dropping giant boulders from their aprons as they strode through the sea.

Through joining them, Sophia allows herself to become the person she has always wanted to be ... big and bold. When the seas begin to rise due to global warming, Sophia and the giantesses save the community by creating new higher ground with rocks that they drop
from their aprons. However, the giantesses insist that to live on the new land, people must agree to the manifesto of the giantesses in which they elect to live in peace and harmony with nature.

GIANTESS empowers us to think big and take the risk to become who we really want to be.
