Rob talks to community members to help them understand their situation and how to survive and grow from it.

Dawn Langman will explore the initiation journey of Prospero in what is considered one of Shakespeare’s final plays. Her performance will feature key moments in the play which address recognition of the double or shadow in our lives, forgiveness and reconciliation, woven together with a commentary on these themes. After the performance and an interval for refreshments, you are welcome to join us for a shared conversation.
Dawn Langman has international experience as an actor, educator, and author. Born in Adelaide, she has lived and worked in Europe, the US and the UK, founded a speech and drama studio in Melbourne, and taught students of acting as a performance art at Flinders University in South Australia. She has written a series of books based on her teaching and performance experience combining the work of Michael Chekhov and Rudolf Steiner to inform ‘the actor of the future’. Her work is being continued by the Heart Fire Centre for Speech and Drama.
You can listen to an interview with Dawn Langman from 2017 here.

In the first of our series on Vocation: life, living, struggle and spirit, we welcome Kelly Papas.
Eurythmist, educator, wife and mother, Kelly trained at Aurora Australis Eurythmy training and now teaches at Little Yarra and Sophia Mundi Steiner Schools and at the Melbourne Rudolf Steiner Seminar. She is also part of the Aurora Australis performance group.
In this talk, she will share an experience that emerged when she prepared for Whitsun in 2023. Invited to perform for a festival, Kelly realised she didn’t truly know the significance and meaning of the terms ‘Pentecost’ and ‘Whitsun’. Together with a friend, she went on a journey of reading and research to deepen her understanding. What emerged was a surprising and life-changing experience which she will share with us. As part of her talk, she will also explore the question of grace and what it represents for her.
