Jodie Cole has been awarded funding by Arts Council England to research Class, Collaboration, & Complex PTSD.
I aim to learn best practice in developing more ambitious community engagement projects from leading UK practitioners, especially when working with disabled &/or untrained participants in habitually excluded areas. This access research will also apply to my own work, as I learn to lead with mental health access needs.

I Am Not in Love
A piece about love, finding love, finding lasting love. Through text, movement and a journey on her bike, Jodie tells a story of unforeseen love.
"What a way to start a performance! Cole welcomes us to her world with a very realistic and loud orgasm centre stage. Then without a blink of the eye, turns to face the audience and matter-of-factly introduces herself. You cannot help but instantly like her"
