Sometimes You Are The Answer. Posted on 06 August 2015. Sometimes you will sense something is wrong and think—maybe it’s just me. Maybe I’m being too sensitive. But mature sensitivity is part of being a compassionate human being. If you sense something is wrong, then perhaps something is wrong. Sometimes others don’t seem to notice something is wrong and you may think, perhaps I am the problem. Peace and kindness,. No responses yet. You could be the first! Click here to cancel reply.

November 18th, 2009. So I suspect most people will know all about Ivor Cutler. but a few folk may not. I've liked Ivor Cutler for a while but (strangely) never thought to check whether there were videos of his songs floating about. Turns out, of course, there are. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Ivor Cutler - Walking to a Farm. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? And one of my favourites. Ivor Cutler - The Shapely Balloon. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Ivor Cutler - Looking for Truth With a Pin.

A Bigger Picture | Katherine Phelps
http://katherinephelps.com/2015/07/a-bigger-picture
Posted on 03 July 2015. It is better to simply love, than frantically search for true love. Better to allow life to unfold, than cling to rituals for controlling outcomes. Better to visualise peace and sufficiency for all, than imagine Versace handbags and Ferraris for yourself. Better to take action for a better world, than sit at home waiting for the world to come to you on a platter. Better to join others and create change with your own heart, mind, and hands, than wait for a chosen one. Mail (will no...

How to Make Change. Posted on 10 August 2015. I am in the midst of shifting gears. I still want comedy to be a part of my life, but I want it to be more in service of making larger social changes. As such I have been speaking with academics here and in the US in order to put together a scholar (lecturer/researcher/student) owned non-profit cooperative university. The major emphasis will be learning and researching collaborative skills under practical circumstances. The first step is locating the problem.

Rio Tinto Protest: Seen by Executives. Posted on 29 June 2015. I am receiving such kind support from The Society of Friends in helping to protest Rio Tinto’s grab of Apache land. After the vigil for the First Peoples of Australia, three of us went to the Rio Tinto offices and held signs. One gentleman came up to us and wanted to know more. I spoke at some length about what our Australian company was doing to vulnerable peoples overseas. We had a few genuine smiles and one thumbs up from passersby. Is pro...

http://katherinephelps.com/2015/06/acting-issues
Posted on 24 June 2015. I have been directing people to get good comic performances for some time. Recently, I was asked to teach a course in comic acting. Acting for comedy is different from dramatic acting, and not enough attention has been focused on the distinctions. Nevertheless, I dipped back into some of my favourite standard acting books (the ones by Uta Hagen), then looked beyond to unexplored works by respected trainers. Sanford Meisner On Acting. Documenting a real class Meisner held:. We need...
