ThE
Hurricane

Made exclusively for the AYA Global Congress, which brought together healthcare professionals from Teenage Cancer Trust, TeenCan and Canteen AUS digitally to share best practice in supporting young people beyond a diagnosis.

The Hurricane was originally a two-hander live performance, made for TCT’s FYSOT, exploring the world of remission. The performance has played to over 1,000 people since its creation in 2017 .

The film closed Day 1 of the AYA Congress, reached over 300 people, and had some incredible responses

The film is available to be booked for Healthcare Professional conferences and events. For more information, please contact toby@beyondarts.org.uk

Here’s a description of the performance:

Toby has aced moving forward from cancer. He has an award-winning theatre show, been to the Arctic Tundra and had an illustrious career as a male model. When he is asked to explain his top tips on camera to an international audience he is more than happy to! However, he could only get the funding through if he made the short film with another cancer patient, so he has roped a friend in to help him. Filled with heart and humour, they explore the world of remission, highlighting the diverse experiences and the invisible impacts of life beyond a diagnosis.
