#20 (S2 E8) Patti Stiles On The Delicious Package of Improvisational Theatre
“Happiness, imagination, creativity, connection,  friendship, art, stories, heart, magic- so much what I love about humanity and so much that I love about theatre, all put into one delicious package with a bowl of play” is how Patti Stiles describes improvisational theatre. An actor, director, author, playwright, writer and teacher who specialises in improvisational theatre, Patti has adventured through the most renowned of theatre circles, training and performing across the globe and founding well-known theatre companies internationally along the way. Patti shares with us the passion for her cause and the fire within her to strive for growth and nurture it in others. She also lets us in on the fear she overcame to write her new book “Improvise Freely”. An inspiring conversation where we discuss the powerful energy that comes from trust, vulnerability, open-mindedness, compassion and extraordinary adventures when embarking into the unknown with others. #improvtheatre #improtheatre #creativity #play #thegrowzone Connect with Patti: Website: www.pattistiles.com Book: https://www.pattistiles.com/IF_book fb: https://www.facebook.com/PattiStilesImpro Twitter: @quokkarocks Stay up to date with The Grow Zone - Real Time Adventures: Website: thegrowzone.de Instagram: @the.growzone To connect with Sarah and Ceri you can find and follow them here: Sarah Hübner Website: www.improverin.com Facebook: @improverin Instagram: @improverin LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/improverin/ E-Mail: sarah@improverin.com Ceri Temple Website: www.4elements.eu Facebook: @4elements.eu Instagram: @4elements.eu or @ceri_temple LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/ceridwentemple E-Mail: ctemple@4elements.eu Podcast editing by: www.7daysaudio.com

#19 (S2 E7) Nora Suarez On Curiosity, Compassion and Play
Nora Suarez is Mexican American and moved from Seattle to Germany in 2020 with her partner. Nora is an Interdisciplinary Visual Artist currently focusing on how Colonialism influenced the loss of her mother tongue and how this impacts identity. Nora began her career as an artist later in life, having previously worked in healthcare- managing critically-ill babies in Neonatal Intensive Care Units for 20 years. Nora discusses her appreciation of the richness and diversity of life and lifelong curiosity to learn and discover more. She shares how she discovered the key to happiness at a young age and her journey through balancing the demands of work in a highly intense and stressful environment with play. This self-awareness led her to eventually pursue a new real time adventure in fashion and art. #play #interdisciplinaryart #curiosity #strongwomen #womensupportingwomen #thegrowzone Gratitude in Nature Meditation (Devi Brown) Gratitude through our connection with nature. We find healing as we connect with nature. When we spend time in nature observing and appreciating the natural beauty and living organisms all around us, we are gently energized, we feel better, our world grows, and we find gratitude in our connection. We find healing as we remember that we are a part of nature too. We come home to who we are. We wake and sleep as the sun and moon rise and set. We breathe as the waves come and go. As the earth hums and the trees talk, we are aligned with nature's rhythms. As the seasons change, we feel refreshed as the first flowers of spring arrive. We feel renewed and energized by the activity and warmth of summer. We let go just as the leaves drop in the fall. And we find grounding in time for reflection, as the snow tucks in the earth for winter. You connect mind, body, and spirit—the natural flow of our breath hums along with nature.

#18 (S2 E6) Bárbara Santos On Theatre Of The Oppressed
“We are all connected. This is globalisation. We need to have a more contextual approach. Even when we make a little play, we cannot talk about the individual topic without thinking about which kind of society this individual is living in.” Bárbara Santos is a Brazilian director, author, performer, activist and the artistic director of KURINGA in Berlin, where she is currently based. For twenty years, Bárbara worked alongside Augusto Boal, who the creator of Theatre of the Oppressed. Through adventuring in theatre and performance, Bárbara accompanies her participants on voyages that uncover the connection between personal experiences and societal structures in a globalised world. This process empowers people who are disadvantaged to find ways to act and improve their situations. Today, we meet virtually with Bárbara in her home city, Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. We hope that you enjoy this inspiring and fascinating conversation as much as we did. #theatreoftheoppressed #empowerment #trust #strongwomen #womensupportingwomen #thegrowzone Connect with Bárbara: Instagram: @Barbara.kuringa Facebook: @Kuringa Website: www.kuringa.de Stay up to date with The Grow Zone - Real Time Adventures: Website: thegrowzone.de Instagram: @the.growzone To connect with Sarah and Ceri you can find and follow them here: Sarah Hübner Website: www.improverin.com Facebook: @improverin Instagram: @improverin LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/improverin/ E-Mail: sarah@improverin.com Ceri Temple Website: www.4elements.eu Facebook: @4elements.eu Instagram: @4elements.eu or @ceri_temple LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/ceridwentemple E-Mail: ctemple@4elements.eu Podcast editing by: www.7daysaudio.com
