Group Therapy 2021

Created after the easing of the lockdown restrictions in 2021, Group Therapy, is Snappy Valley’s first collaborative expression. Through playful experimentation the group staged fictional scenarios offering realities that sit between the ordinary and the uncanny. The silent scenes in Group Therapy are filled with mystery and uncertainty. The locally identifiable signifiers to sites in and around Todmorden add to the rich folklore of the place, for example, as a hotspot for UFO sightings in UK. Employing a performance-based approach encouraged the group to explore the creative process intuitively, which in turn led to a unique way of working where all the participants are both the subject and the photographer. The name, Group Therapy, symbolises the importance of the formed relationships within Snappy Valley and the therapeutic significance the group provided during 2020.
