Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
‘Wild Geese’: Mary Oliver
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –
over and over announcing your place in the family of things.
For thirty years I traveled the world as director, teacher of performers and as (mainly improvising) performer. I worked in theatre, somatics, dance, circus, improvisation, clowning, education and things way outside any definition.
I developed my own prcess of training performers to work closely in ensemble – negotiating individual thriving in group settings. I called it Self-With-Others.
It was an amazing journey, but there was a cost. I burned out badly. I’m strong again, though no longer with any urge to travel or make performances. Now I use Self-With-Others as a foundation for helping people across many domains of life. After all, artists learn some pretty useful life-skills.
Now, from my house in remote Ireland, I coach creatives who need to refocus, redirect or re-energise. I mentor artists creating projects. I write and paint. I guide anyone who – deep down – knows they’re an artist or performer (whatever they do to earn their living), to embrace their creative life fully and joyously.
There are a thousand ways to be an artist. I’ll help you find yours.
