Give me a heart! someone said and we started.

I want To Be a Voice Over Artist “Riddley”

Riddley (twelve years old) had called a session because he loves voice over acting particularly in video games and in comedy sketches.. he wanted to know more.
Your Life is a Work of Art

This is a session I have called at several D&Ds before because it is my motto or working hypothesis or my modus operandi or something like that. And I’m always curious what ‘your life is a work of art’ means to others. It is becoming the framework for how I bring my skills and experience together to help people who are facing some life transition and who want to stop ignoring their creative yearnings and learn how to integrate the miraculous with the mundane and experience life as a work of art.
Non-Hierarchical Theater Processes

How to decenter the director and create a more collaborative rehearsal room.
Crafting Creativity: Designing the Ideal Creative Retreat

Exploring the notion of the ideal creative retreat sparks a journey into the heart of artistic sanctuaries, where innovation meets serenity.

Is it possible to make and broadcast short, 2 mins max, inspiring performance pieces without the need for digital media?

I am a visual artist, basically I have difficulties with writing, made worse with computers. I am trying to find quick ways of recording the stories I have and inventing new ones. Report by Jonathan Swain
What's stopping you? Resistance toward calling a session at D and D

This session was called by an attendee who was sitting in the big circle at the beginning of D and D feeling a lot of resistance toward proposing a session, and wondering if anyone else was feeling it...and so deciding to call a session on this precise question.
How do we stand with Palestine?

How to we as culture workers and artists support people in the same sector in Gaza and the West Bank during this military siege and genocide, how to we organise in our own workplaces and sector and how do we use our skills?
“Looking after Harrison Owen’s legacy (and other Wise people who have died)” called by Phelim

This was a session called the day after we heard the news of Harrison’s passing. Harrison was honoured in the closing circle and this session was called whilst this news was very live. This was an action focused session on Monday the third day of open space. I used Otter AI to record a transcript and then i asked Chat GPT to summarise themes and look for action points and then also asked to note anything surprising in the discussion.
What Have The Romans (And Greeks) Ever Done For Us?

I loved the chance to call this session because an unexpected interest in the classics that arose last year remains alive in me and is influencing how I experience and reflect on the importance of art. And I figured that others in the room might have Greek drama angles on the topic - or whatever else.

When I was 40, I was naughty, Soon I shall be 50…..

When I was 40, I was naughty, Soon I shall be 50….. I called this session at D&D yesterday for a few reasons. Back in 2009, a few women who I looked up to called a session about harnessing the power of the beyond 50s, and in my early 40s as I was, my heart sank a bit.

Verbatim Theatre Ethics

This session was looking at ethics related to the use of other people's stories/testimonies in making theatre. We also ended up discussing verbatim techniques. There were two people (myself - Amy Golding and Ben) making verbatim shows with care leavers. One around politics and one around mental health and immigration. We discussed the importance of anonymity of the people sharing their stories with us due to safeguarding and potential repercussions amongst peers or with service providers.
