'Testimony'

As arranged, on Monday Kate Reid took an all day workshop here at Stella Maris. It was for us, a most refreshing experience. My students opened their eyes to new ways of thinking about performance, finding avenues to harness what was hiding inside them and releasing it. My class' expression of its discoveries is embryonic yet but the students came away from the day energised and prepared to explore their physicality in performance in ways that had never occurred to them before. Imaginations are now much harder at work. Kate's work with them was commanding and nurturing and the commitment the students demonstrated was testament to her skills with young people and their respect for the depth and breadth of her knowledge.

As I seek to expose my students to as many influences as I can, these workshos are of particular significance. A fine day indeed. Please pass on to Kate our further thanks. Regards, Geoff Cartwright / Stella Maris College
