Abstract (English): In January 2016, a group of community members undertook a theatre project at the University of British Columbia’s Learning Exchange in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. For 22 months, group members wrote, rehearsed, and performed a collectively created script entitled Voices UP!. This research article casts four of the community members who took part in Voices UP! as co-inquirers, exploring their experiences of collective playmaking in terms of benefit to mental well-being. The article presents the study’s results in the form of a theatrical script, followed by a discussion that focuses on research outcomes relevant to therapists exploring creative art practices, including social connection through collaborative artmaking, puppetry as a unique theatrical tool for building therapeutic relationships and embodied expression, collective theatre creation and witnessing, and the unique challenges when terminating arts-based projects.

Abstract (French): En janvier 2016, un groupe de personnes d’une même collectivité ont entrepris un projet de théâtre au Learning Exchange de l’Université de Colombie-Britannique, dans le quartier Downtown Eastside de Vancouver. Pendant 22 mois, les membres du groupe ont écrit, répété et présenté une pièce de création collective intitulée Voices UP!. Cet article de recherche met en scène quatre membres de la communauté qui ont collaboré à Voices UP! en tant que co-enquêteurs, en analysant leurs expériences de théâtre collectif sous l’angle du bien-être mental. L’article présente les résultats de l’étude sous la forme d’un texte de pièce de théâtre, qui est suivi d’une discussion centrée sur les résultats de la recherche susceptibles d’intéresser les thérapeutes qui explorent les pratiques d’art créatif, notamment les liens sociaux établis grâce à la création artistique collective, l’art des marionnettes en tant qu’outil théâtral unique pour favoriser les relations thérapeutiques et l’expression incarnée, la création théâtrale collective et la présence aux répétitions et représentations, ainsi que les défis particuliers associés à la fin des projets artistiques.
