Theatre of Lived Experience
I created and launched the first ever Poetry Geocache consisting of 15 secret clues leading to 15 original poems concealed in 15 different locations alongside The Embankment in Bedford on the 11th and 12th June 2022.
All the poems explore the relationship between 'I', 'You' and 'We'.
The Poetry Geocache was created in collaboration with The Quarry Theatre in Bedford.
The poetry trail is still accessible by downloading the following documents. Please read these documents carefully before starting the Geocache:

JACQUES
I am an interdisciplinary artist, founder, director and animator of the Theatre of Lived Experience. I create visual, performative, spoken and written worlds to explore identity, belonging, shared meaning, inbetweenness and our relationship to otherness. My art work is mainly based on personal narratives to foster awareness, understanding and acceptance of one another. It aims at challenging perceptions, and opening creative spaces for reflection, dialogue and change. It is located at the intersection of the personal and the collective. I am interested in art as public and social intervention whereby audiences are involved as co-creators. Alongside this work, I also have more than 15 years' therapeutic experience with individuals and groups (www.jfjacques.com).
I am based in Bedford (UK).
