LATEST WORK IN PROGRESS

Mrs Weaver and the End of the World

2025-2026

Mrs Weaver wants to balance the good trouble stories and bad trouble stories that she reads about in the newspapers every day. However, she is clumsy and sometimes clueless about what to do regarding the wars, starvation, violence and climate chaos. So she decides to live in the bush, alongside the animals that visit (Mr Hare, Dog, Bee, Bird, and, oh, sometimes the Platypus), and we journey with her as she works out ways of still being in this world of conflict and delusion, but holding onto joy, laughter and hope. The puppet creatures will be designed and created by Dead Puppet Society.

Margi as Theatre-maker:

Our last project (2024) was 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.

Season: Queensland Theatre, 30th Novemeber till 14th December, 2024

Margi as Collaborative

Mentor and Arts Supervisor

Work With Margi

In 2024:

ZOOM WORKSHOPS

for theatre makers, therapists, writers, visual artists, and counsellors, and individuals/groups wanting a more creative approach to their work and their everyday lives.

ZOOM SUPERVISION FOR ARTISTS & CREATIVE THERAPISTS

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.

MARGI LOVES TO MENTOR ARTISTS AND CREATIVES, offering personal and professional guidance, motivation, meditation, yoga and skills-based sessions.
