Making Things UP
Making Things Up uses improv comedy and theater to empower people experiencing homelessness.
The organization offers a space for confidence-building and connection-making, encoraging people to break free from social isolation. Within less than a year Making Things Up grew from a project into a registered non-profit, and was shortlisted at the inaugural Arts & Homelessness International (AHI) Awards in the category 'Arts and Homelessness Project of the Year'. In weekly workshops participants learn improv comedy skills and share laughter in a safe space. For most, it’s their first experience of theater, but the impact goes beyond creativity and inspires people to believe in their own ideas and creating a community.
