Chat today with Richard and Melissa of Open Theatre

I read about Richard's process, Non Verbal Physical Theatre (with music ) and it sounded like a similar well spring of inspiration to our Open Improv style, and we have each worked about forty years so I contacted them, and todays chat was the result..we hope and plan to do more... first off a zoom podcast about 'Process'.

We had the joy of three families of young children and mums dancing with us in our workshop.

And the joy of Victoria's extended family, a poet and volunteer and Kyle (our new marketing consultant - much needed!!) in our small, select audience!
