Excerpts:
“I’m working with so many different people. Complex situations. You know, there’s quite a lot of tears in my workshops and we have to stop … sort certain things out … it’s about caring for people as well and looking after people.”
“Any creative processes at all, whether it’s digital or if it’s drama, or writing, creative writing, or patchwork, or, you know, anything like that that can bring people together, only good things come from that.”
