Quiet work

In my role as Creative Director I can often find myself in where there are lots of very loud, strong voices. Often these voices have been calling for change, which is really important, but a lot of the messaging often feels very negative, stuck in anger, old ways, repeating patterns, blame... Those voices have been loud, but leave me feeling very little hope and a sense of being resigned to existing, unhelpful ways.

I often feel scared of bringing my voice into these spaces - fear of not being good enough, not being experienced enough, not being important. But what has been really coming up for me recently is that amongst all the shouting and anger and loud voices, there is a lot of beautiful, quiet work happening, with integrity and heart and presence. People believing in the power of movement and art, exploring practice and quietly doing their work themselves, with others, making change.

They’re most often overlooked, under-recognised but they’re (we’re!) changing the world.
