A person with long red hair and wearing dark green dungarees is suspended upside down next to a tree in forest. They're playing the harp.

This tool was developed as part of Cultural Cwtsh, which was an online creative wellbeing hub for the health and care workforce in Wales, created by the Arts Council of Wales in collaboration with artists across the country.

In partnership with the Arts Council of Wales, we’re excited to share this mental wellbeing tool, alongside with many other creative resources, with everyone in Wales!

We have made three films for you to enjoy.

Using climbing equipment, we can suspend our dancers off the ground to move in and around each other.

The dancers are suspended in the air in a group of trees in Llanberis. The dancers enjoy exploring the natural environment and moving together.

We hope you enjoy it too.

Film 2 – Canopy

This film features our young and adult fliers dancing with a sense of peacefulness and contemplation of the beautiful trees. We also feature one of our dancers playing the harp whilst suspended in the tree.

Film 3 – Leafing Through

This film features our adult fliers and is all about reading books. We read them in different places in the trees, sitting, upside down, or whilst spinning.
