It's been a while since I blogged and so much has been going on in my life. I've been away from the house quite a lot, starting with the ROI120 Global Summit for Young Jewish Innovators that I went to in June. What an inspiring experience! Not only did I get to hang out with my Moishe House siblings from Poland and Portland, and meet some of the people from the Center for Leadership Initiatives who support this grand old Jewish community house project we're a part of; I also chatted, dreamed and planned with an array of the brightest young Jewish innovators in the world.
Since then I've been to Boston to finish my training with Storahtelling (had an overnight at MHBoston) and run a week-long drama camp for Jewish 8-12 year olds in the countryside near London. I got to direct a Tarantinoesque play on Jewish gangsters, with a real stage-combat scene and everything. Very satisfying.
This weekend I went up to BBYO camp, in Derbyshire, and did a full-scale Storahtelling Maven performance for them, bringing the Torah service to life using drama and ritual theatre. So I'm up and running as a Storahtelling artist and looking forward to more.
Just one more thing: really looking forward to perhaps the weirdest event at MHLondon so far. We're holding a Be Kind Rewind day, where our guests get to watch a (slightly Jewish) movie and then re-make it using whatever they can get their hands on. I'm just interested to see how people will do the "I'll have what she's having" scene from When Harry Met Sally in the cafes of West Hampstead.
