Apologies for the long absence, though you probably didn’t even miss me!
Well, the opera I was talking about in the last blog is actually happening and I’m more than a bit excited to be involved in the very first stages of it. Normally in workshops I’m teaching people how to do or make things which involves quite a lot of me talking, as well as a great deal of running around getting all bothered and sweaty. But with these workshops I’m doing very little talking and get to sit most of the time, which is a much more sedate position for a person of my years.
My role is to encourage people to tell their stories, which comes quite naturally, as usually when I meet someone for the first time I’ve a tendency to ‘interview’ them. I’ve only ever known one person who does the same thing, and when I met her and found myself being ‘interviewed’ by her it was a startling experience. Noami Garvin Morse won’t mind me giving her a wee mention. Anyway, my own natural healthy interest in the lives of other people has at last found its calling, and I’m thoroughly enjoying myself. So keep on with the quizzing Naomi, your day will come.
Here’s my wee bake talking about it . . .
