Audicia Lynne Morley and Derek Houghton have been collaborating on projects together for the past 35 years since they first founded State Theta Collaborative Arts Performance Company.

Whilst both following their own interests in the fields of movement, complementary health, music and information technology they have combined their skills and vision to create Alive Arts - a dedicated centre for the development of movement, health and the arts.

Alive Arts is a creative Scottish Social Enterprise company based in Forres, Scotland. It was founded in 2014 by Audicia Lynne Morley RSMT RSME, and Derek Houghton with the support of the Scottish Social Enterprise Fund.

The Company offers experiential workshops, events, courses and one-to-one coaching in non formal approaches to education, learning, resource building and the somatic arts.

Alive Arts was invited to participate in the HEART Project as a UK Arts Provider, to share The Arc Process. The Arc Process is intended to inspire creativity as an experimental approach to working creatively with somatic body-based and land-based approaches to health, well being and creativity.

Some of these approaches are explored through the 25 tools that support and address the theme of Resilience and Burn Out prevention in the Heart Project.
