About Manipulate Festival: These Things Aren’t Mine
Directed by Barney White and written in collaboration with former gymnast turned circus artist Gabbie Cook, These Things Aren’t Mine is a visceral, abstract and emotive exploration into the psyche of an ex-child athlete living with PTSD and hyper vigilance.
The ambition for These Things Aren’t Mine is to explore the impacts that abuse in childhood elite training environments can have on adult life; the invasions of physical and emotional space, imbalances of power that ripple through day to day life in both personal and professional environments, where victims often feel powerless to tell their stories and with little support available if they do.
Presented through abstract, poetic imagery, the film explores the day-to-day effects of living with trauma; to give voice, physicality and visibility to these experiences, and the process of how healing begins.
A 40 minute Q&A with Gabbie Cook will follow the film.
Age 12+
These Things Aren't Mine is part of the Traverse's £1 Ticket Project.
