FYSOT OVER 18s 2017 – Kay Scorah – I’m not what it says on my label

Other people make assumptions based on our title, our illness, our gender, our race. Staying true to yourself can be hard work.
Sometimes we limit the way we express ourselves because it just seems easier to be and do what other people expect. In this interactive session we’ll play with ways of exploring what it means to “be myself” and to see others for who they really are.

FYSOT OVER 18s 2017 – Steve Chapman – Dancing with your own inner critic

That character who prizes playing it safe over taking exciting creative risks! In this short talk, Steve Chapman tells the story of getting to know his own inner critic and how he has learnt to dance with it, rather than fight it, turning it from his creative nemesis into his creative muse.
