It is Difficult to Love is a story is about a young girl discovering how to communicate with her older brother who has been diagnosed with depression. The company is attempting to break down the stigma and open up the discussion around mental health to include lighter and more hopeful stories.

All in the Mind is a free festival started by Leigh Johnstone of Fluid Motion Theatre Company four years ago to encourage performers and artists to explore mental health themes and to break the stigma that surrounds many aspects of mental health and personal wellbeing.
