Many days have drifted far away but the memories will stay with me forever.
The 9th WOMEN PLAYWRIGHT INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE in STOCKHOLM SWEDEN AUGUST 15th - 20th 2012; opened my eyes to the vast variety of talent floating and soaring around our beautiful world.
Theater is the Living Art that captures the heart beat of a family unit, the teeming variety of people living in a community or a society swirling with ideas and guidelines on how one should live. It captures the struggle people face and encounter while discovering themselves and the challenge to be themselves.
Sisters, Mothers and Friends from all the corners of the world Nigeria, America, Brazil, Italy, Canada, Jamaica, United Kingdom, Afghanistan, Philippines, Kurdistan, Palestine to name a few. Opened our minds and thoughts, showing us how they live, taking us physically into their space and time. Just like magic....
Stories from the little Island in Estonia, to the homes in Nigeria, the train tracks in Serbia, then to stories staged from the bustling city in South Africa and also to the modern apartment building in Ethiopia.
Real mind blowing stories reminding you that though they may be far away, they are close to us. The challenges they face are real and the need to escape is everywhere.
Just like in the very famous saying 'the grass is always greener on the other side'
I learned and enjoyed every story crafted from experience, entertaining and engaging stories making a difference, touching lives and whisking us away into the Talent Floating and Soaring around our Beautiful World
More on this conference soon, have a lovely day....
