In 2021, she was awarded an Arts Council England grant to put together the performance Dance Me To Death with choreographers, Rhys Dennis and Waddah Sinada from FUBUNATION and a group of Over-60s non-professional dancers. It took place in Kensal Green Cemetery and there is a short film which has been screened at a host of festivals.

'...I'm still here' - a story with Chris Carazas, growing up with neurodiversity
56:57|Today’s guest is someone who didn’t just survive the worst year of his life, he rebuilt himself from the wreckage and made it public so the rest of us wouldn’t feel so alone. Chris Carazas is a global development strategist, memoirist, and creator of a thriving Substack universe where trauma, resilience, humor, and hard-won clarity collide in ways that actually make you rethink your own story.He’s the author of Now That I’m Still Here: A Memoir of Ruin and Resurrection, a book that takes you through collapse, recovery, identity, and the quiet, stubborn courage required to stay alive when everything in you is begging to disappear. His writing spans continents, childhoods, faith, family, and the messy process of healing, all while weaving in razor-sharp insight and a voice that refuses to apologize for its honesty.Chris blends global experience with emotional precision, translating life in Senegal, Madagascar, Bolivia, and beyond into a body of work that speaks to anyone who has ever felt out of place or misunderstood. And yes, his German shepherd Shadow has become a recurring character in his storytelling, mostly because she has editorial standards no human can match.Links: chriscarazas.com Substack substack.com/@ccarazasThis podcast is for you if you’re looking to:Join a community for creatives, entrepreneurs, and anyone who thinks ‘out of the box.’Find conversations on Autism, ADHD, and AuDHD.Learn how to use your unique wiring for a purposeful life.Visit Middle Earth Medicine to learn more and connect with Caroline.Your donations directly fuel the growth of this podcast!
