'Caring for myself is not self-indulgence. It is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.' - Audre Lorde (A Burst of Light and other essays)

Really looking forward to working again with the lovely people from the African Caribbean Heritage Association, Sutton tomorrow. Marking Stephen Lawrence Day @sldayfdn & @EarthDay 2021 through Art 🎨#SLDay21#EarthDay2021
If you would like to bring and share something creative to this month's Cafe - for feedback or who knows, potential collaboration (it happens loads!), please contact [email protected] to reserve our last three-minute slot.
But what's Bring & Share, you ask? And so you should. It is a safe & supportive space for artists to bring an idea or share a performance with our group. It can be anything - an idea, a poem, a song or a play extract. It doesn't need to be ready, finished or polished.
Really looking forward to this Tangle Café Bring & Share @TangleTheatre tomorrow evening talking about my work with the wonderful people who attend the brilliant @ASKI_UK
"The idea of overcoming is always fascinating to me. It's fascinating because few of us realize how much energy we have expended just to be here today. I don't think we give ourselves enough credit for the overcoming." #MayaAngelou
