Performance
Courses
Inviting parents to explore their creative voices through performance.
“Finding time to developing interests and skills when in the throws of parenting or grandparenting can be a challenge. Exploring your voice creatively can bring all manner of rewards - renewed connection to your identity, building confidence, being part of a community, not to mention a rush of adrenaline! My Parents on the Mic course are designed with caring responsibilities in mind - they take place within school hours, children of all ages are always welcome with you, and it’s always okay to show up as you are. I believe it is really important to see their parents as following their passions and also being brave. I collaborate with brilliant artists (usually parents themselves) to run courses in poetry, songwriting and standup comedy courses. At the end of each course there is a live show, so there is the option to share new material with an uplifting and supportive audience. All levels of experience are welcome and encouraged.”
