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.

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.
Where we've been

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.
