SUMMARY:Audrey Jolly at the Theatre in the Woods
DESCRIPTION:Through theatre & the written word this performance captures the passion that fuels us as writers and explores the challenges we face.\n\n\nThrough theatre & the written word this performance captures the passion that fuels us as writers and explores the challenges we face while we engage with our literary Muse. We have a multitude of inner selves what we operate from. The creative self often has a life of its own not necessarily related to or sympathetic towards other more practical parts of the self. In theatre we call the practical self our ‘chop wood/fetch water self’. She is the one that remembers to pick up the milk at the end of the day after an altered reality adventure through the infinite world of our imagination where creativity lives and thrives. Our need for exercise\, food and outer relationships take a back seat when the creative muse takes over. This may present certain dilemmas for us to grapple with in our day-to-day lives. \nWe begin with a physical theatre piece that depicts the challenges of these inner parts followed by a story entitled ‘Write Now’ which describes this process through writing. The audience is invited to explore their own creative process\, what fuels it and what challenges it. This is done through writing\, sharing\, and questions. A brief discussion of how I got to this moment in my own evolution as artist\, teacher and psychotherapist will be shared. My hope is that you tap into your own unique selves\, your curiosity and courage\, recognizing there are infinite worlds and depths within you waiting for you to dip into\, capture and share with the world. \nAudrey Jolly \nRegistered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) 2015 \nAuthor of: On the Back of the Wildebeest – The Healing Power of Creativity\, 2020 \nDining in Windermere during the Festival? \nEnjoy a 10% discount on all food and non-alcoholic beverages from Windermere House Pub during the festival!
