‘You face your audience; you glance out over the sea of upturned faces fresh with anticipation; you’re distracted...; will you be able to, make it make sense to them?
Doubt plays with the edge of your notes; notes that... [now] lie faceless in your hands.’
The language of telling - how do you explain difficult and complex ideas to others?
Intimate knowledge of a topic is not enough when curating your own work; as a curator curates an exhibition, selecting and arranging ideas to achieve a particular outcome; what do you say (about what you know), and how do you say it; how do you translate your knowledge (or work) into an oral form?
Working together we would look closely at what you choose to say about what you know (your content); guiding and balancing your storying. This process ensures every element [of the story being told] is expressed in some way through the space (platform and audience) within which your work is being presented.
If you have a piece of material and a particular audience you want to reach call me and we can discuss how to create a powerful performance of your work.
