About Me:
Hello :) !!!!

A true lover of Life and all sentient beings, I discovered at an early age the power of the instrument of emotions and feelings to bring out, in each and every person, the melody of our common humanity. My desire to foster solidarity and mutual understanding came even earlier, and it has been with me ever since.

Today, the human being in its great diversity remains my main focus as I have just returned from an 8-month journey across Latin America with my boyfriend Michele.

What did we do there? We met and shared with communities committed to testing different lifestyles based on principles of harmony and non-violence, we practiced permaculture and other agro-ecological means of production, etc. We also met and exchanged views with various theater groups, who use theater as a tool for social change in a variety of situations: in prisons, with street kids, with immigrants, in schools, with NGOs, etc.

We traveled to the following countries: Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua.
My dream:
Using theater as a way of tapping into our common humanity, of bringing forth our strengths, both at an individual and collective level, to think up, design and implement positive social transformation.

A world where both similarities and differences are celebrated, and where every person is conscious of their own power to create the life they desire. A world in which spectators turn into "spect-actors" (a term coined by Augusto Boal), at once observing and acting on the world around them.

    Thank you Celicia for your invitation in your group. I am working with young people as shared last time we met and I hope to share new ideas or findings from this new experience for me.

    Je repense au Learning Festival et à la personne dynamique, intelligente et pétillante que j'ai rencontré. Cette personne c'est toi. :)

    Thanks a lot for the heads-up; highly appreciated!

    I'll definitely closely follow-up Eric's visit to RDCCompetence and get it touch with him thereafter.

    You're a star!

    Warmly,
