WORKSHOPS
Norman runs creative and conversational workshops and has over six years of experience delivering sessions across community, educational, and institutional settings. He has worked with partners including Cultural Access, Mencap, Croydon Museum, Moving Waves, and NHS community programmes.
His workshops integrate participants’ lived experiences with approachable imaginative methods. A central principle is unsettling the ground, creating supported shifts in routine that open space for new forms of creativity, reflection, and problem-solving.
Sessions combine practical activities (drawing, clay modelling, improvisation, small performance tasks) with guided conversation. This structure supports participants to reflect on their personal narratives, consider alternatives, and use creativity as a stabilising and exploratory tool.
Accessibility is central to Norman’s work. As a facilitator with a learning disability, he designs workshops that are flexible, inclusive, and responsive to a wide range of needs.
The overall aim is to help participants build confidence, imagination, and a sense of agency that they can carry into everyday life.
