CURRENT MISSION

theatre/art as a from of resistance

ABOUT ME

I am living in Sao Paulo at the moment volunteering with an NGO who work with children and young people from the surrounding favela's. I am working with my friend Deanna (who I met many years ago through couchsurfing) delivering theatre, art and yoga workshops. I am here until November, then off to Chile and Bolvia but my plans are open. I want to improve my Portuguese and also learn Spanish when I arrive in Bolivia.

PHILOSOPHY

make the road by walking

Music, Movies, and Books

I love lots of books, hard to say.. I love people who know how to tell stories. I like to read books about theatre, peace-building and people's inspiring stories about survival.

I love music that makes me jump up and down, music that feeds my soul, music that makes me nostalgic. I love to dance lots and so being in Brasil has made me happy. I love Samba !! and being introduced to new music when I travel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

white water rafting in the ganges at the foothills of the hymalayas, going to a Chipko movement (tree hugging) meeting in the hymalayas and saw the patch of forest that was saved in the 70's, took part in activist theatre in Delhi with organic farmers.

Teach, Learn, Share

people who enjoy to cook, interested in the arts, social change, care about the environment, love music, enjoy having debates and discussions on politics and everyday things, people who like to laugh at the world and at themselves.

Theatre, theatre of the oppressed, puppetry, yoga, meditation, art, advice on community projects and working with vulnerable and marginalized groups.
