Who am I?
Theatre-maker:
Our latest project is the play Wanderings, co-written with Zac Callaghan and Leah Mercer. We examine how we constantly transform/transition throughout our lives. Two characters together: a mother who is creating a new way of being as she adjusts to a dementia diagnosis, and her dedicated son, who successfully transitioned 6 years ago, but is now forced to constantly justify his existence due to his mother’s struggle with memory. Our first season is part of Queensland Theatre’s Door 3 Initiative. This project has been supported by Door 3, Queensland Theatre, Arts Queensland, Pride Australia, Australian Plays Transform and photography by Jen Dainer.

Every therapist no matter how experienced has a ‘counselling supervisor’, to discuss their work and their relationship to their practice. Margi also offers supervision to artists as well as counsellors and therapists. Artist Supervision encourages Best Arts Practice at the same time as growing a healthy lifestyle, using collaborative conversations, meditation, pranayama, and creative arts therapeutic processes.
