The first ever creative and devised youth engagement project on the island. Working with a group of 15 local young people, Sierra led a 3-week devised theatre course for young people to talk about mental health. After leading the course, Sierra curated a theatre piece called ‘Let’s Talk’ - which was created from the young people’s work. Sierra then directed ‘Let’s Talk’ with the young people during a week run of a wider project called ‘Unspoken’ which was a play/evening centred around opening up about mental health in Guam.
