I am so excited to be a part of Radical Connections programming. I believe that connecting through art offers us essential healing ingredients: joy, humour, and authentic expression. As a facilitator, I aim to create spaces that allow for our mutual vulnerability, imperfection and humanity.
I am very excited about this programming - I have always enjoyed interactions with the senior members of our communities. I think it's of the utmost importance to be engaged with them, enjoying their company and valuing them as much as possible in their later years.
Music, poetry and stories lift us out of the daily concerns we have and take us to unexplored territories. They can comfort us, lift us, awaken our curiosity and enliven our relationship to the world and to each other. It is exciting to imagine what may happen when an artist meets a new audience member one on one to see how the music or the word might unfold this time, and to witness together a little new world come to life.
I believe that the trauma of being distanced from one another and being without community is one that is real and has lasting effects. Online programming has the power to bring folks across the world together to share a moment that they may have never shared otherwise.
Shared creativity builds community as it honours what each of us can bring to the table. My work celebrates your story and how you chose to share it with your audience. It's my privilege to support each partner in this work.
