EP 8: Losing Your Mother as a Child & Using Folk Stories to Process Grief
Description
In this episode, Gaby speaks to Dan Wei about:
- how her theatre show - 'Little Tadpoles Looking for Mama" - significantly impacted her grief
- how she found solace in Mother Nature
- her experience of losing a parent at 9 years old
- using stories as a way of exploring grief
...plus she shares how you can start connecting to nature as therapy.
Dan is a Chinese-Australian multi-disciplinary artist whose practice includes science and technology, interactive installations, poetry, movement, and performance. Her original theatre show, "Little Tadpoles Looking for Mama", is a dance piece with a difference where nature meets nurture; a dialogue of sound and movement that explores love, loss and our everlasting search for human connection.
