Fresco Training

Very proud of this bunch of people! Our second year BA Acting CDT students - They performed Loveplay by Moira Bufinni, with huge heart and commitment on Thursday. I was the proud director! We made it with very few resources (no budget), but a great collaborative team! Thanks to all involved ❤️

Teaching and directing is an exciting job, not without its challenges. The culture and well-being of a group includes nurturing a sense of belonging for all, acknowledging and respecting differences, making space for diverse views, and building a relationship of community - based on humanistic values.

I believe my job is to create the conditions for students to thrive and grow. If we create a nourishing environment (like sunshine, water & co2 for plants), students will forge their own way forwards, upwards and beyond!

I am very privileged to do this work. I am in awe as I witness their growth and development. May you continue to grow with heart & resilience.. Strive to improve our world.. and flourish! 💛🌱🪴🌼🫛

To quote bell hooks (writer, philosopher, feminist academic & visionary): “The classroom continues to be a place where paradise can be realized, a place of passion and possibility, a place where spirit matters, where all that we learn and know leads us into greater connection, into greater understanding of life lived in community.” (From Teaching Community, by bell hooks)
