Spotlight on…Julia Collar

Director of Collar & Cuffs Co

Can you tell us about the work you do?

I run Collar & Cuffs Co, a theatre company specialising in multi-sensory theatre for young children. We’re currently offering an award-winning adaptation of Little Meerkat’s Big Panic, based on the storybook by trauma and parenting expert Jane Evans.

This show, designed to be delivered in early years and primary settings, helps children to understand what’s going on in their brains and bodies when they feel anxious or scared, and to discover how very simple play strategies can be used to help them feel calmer. The project is in partnership with my sister, Ellie, who runs Early Years SEN in Northamptonshire.
