Audrey Dwyer - Thought #15 - Celebrate

Thought Residencies ·

2019/10/31

Hi! My name is Audrey Dwyer and this is my fifteenth thought. I’m thinking about celebration, joy and bliss. About creating space and time to mark meaning. How there are traditions that are mainstream and well known. And then the ones that one creates for themselves, for their families, chosen families, friends. These unique moments that are ultimately so personal, so tied into need, want, recognition, time, achievement, remembrance. Things unseen. How we can walk around with these private moments,

Idea Generation Hi! My name is Audrey Dwyer and this is my fourteenth thought. I’m thinking about ideas and idea generation. Where ideas come from, how they come to be and what ideas are in response to. Intellectual beginnings, imagined beginnings, historical beginnings, advocacy beginnings.

Thought # 13 Hi! My name is Audrey Dwyer and this is my thirteenth thought. I’m thinking about playwrights – young and old, near and far, all over the planet. I’m thinking about where ideas come from for playwrights, how long it can take to write a play. I’m thinking about playwriting, hunched backs over desks, waking up in the middle of the night with an idea. So many ideas, so many playwrights all over the world working working working to get things just right.

Thought Residencies ·

2019/10/22

Thought # 10 Audrey Dwyer Hello! My name is Audrey Dwyer and this is my tenth thought. I’m thinking about catharsis and the news. How the news impacts their audience in terms of climax and catharsis. How news watchers are taken through that process throughout the day. I remember the 80s and the little girl who fell down a well, people fixated on television sets to find out what happened in real time. What happens for people following the news when the climactic moment doesn’t happen? Where do we all

2019/10/17

Hello! My name is Audrey Dwyer and this is my ninth thought. I’m thinking about how stories have the potential to uplift us and to inspire us and to connect us.

I’m thinking about how our curiosity in childhood and / or teen-hood impacts our choices as adults. About how being resilient and taking care of your own needs can inform how one advocates for others in their adulthood.

Then there is The Diamond Rule, which is The Diamond Rule: “Imagine being them, before doing unto them.”

Maev Beaty - Thought #11 - What to bring to a Climate...

Thought Residencies ·

2019/09/26

I was at Union Station for the Raptors parade and it was so FUN, the energy and the humanity was so, really, kind of thrilling and warming. But also I am now reminding myself that for Fridays' big Climate Strike that I need get: water in a reusable bottle, I need sunscreen, I need toilet paper or tissues, maybe a first aid kit, a phone charger and some SNACKS. So if anyone happens to be reading this before Friday, hopefully you'll remember those things too! See you on the streets...

Thought Residencies ·

2019/09/25

Ok you guys here’s a doozy. Umm...So the last couple of months I have been toying with the idea of putting together a workshop? a seminar? a healing circle? a sharing forum?... to talk about how to manage life as a performer, as a woman, with a hormonal cycle. And so tips and tools and advice and sharing of knowledge and medicine about how to bring yourself healthily to the work and make sure that the work is healthy for you, and still available with its full breadth of possibility. And I think

2019/09/24

This is ‘climate crisis week’ internationally leading up to the Big March on Friday the 27th - hope to see you there in the streets - and so most of my thoughts are about the actions that ARCA - Artists for Real Climate Action and thisisnotadrill.ca are up to this week - the theatres that are encouraging activism in and around their theatres this week, and Greta on the Youtube and her impassioned speech at the UN today and so I guess the main thought in my head this evening is don’t read the

We were moving some furniture pieces around tonight, in my home, and we moved a Billy bookcase, thank you IKEA circa 2001, probably, And, uh, oof, there was a lot of dust underneath the bookcase and, uh, I was getting tired and everything seemed a bit overwhelming so I hopped on my phone and read about JT’s... “costume” and uh, yeah, tonight is not a night for me to share any thoughts that I have about this, I have so many thoughts, but it’s not a night for me to share my thoughts.

Maev Beaty - Thought #7 - Witches

Thought Residencies ·

2019/09/18

Today my six year old daughter and a friend of hers from school gathered a huge bag of walnuts from the park next to the playground. After experimenting with different ways of exploding them on the concrete or by jumping on them, they brought the rest of their haul home, to the townhouse complex where they both live. And bit by bit - the girls - anywhere from 2 years old to 10 years from the townhouse complex, all emerged. Eventually gathering around a cauldron-like silver pot to crush up these
