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.

Former accountant, Peter Kearney is a gardener, biodynamic practitioner and enthusiast for urban agriculture. We spoke earlier in 2018 about his passion for encouraging food gardens in our cities and the wonders of biodynamic gardening and farming. In this interview, Peter talks about his understanding of biodynamic agriculture, and urban agriculture and shares his experiences, particularly around the development of Millen Farm in Samford, Queensland, as well as in his own gardening practice.
Unfortunately, the quality of my recorded conversation with Peter was not good enough to create a podcast so please read this edited interview published in the Winter edition of the journal of the Anthroposophical Society in Australia.
You can also read Peter’s report here on using biodynamic preparations in urban food growing following a biodynamic conference at the Goetheanum, Dornach, in February 2018. Find out more about Peter’s work in teaching and mentorship at his website.
Dawn Langman, educator and actor, shares her life experiences with great insight, frankness and wisdom. In this conversation, Dawn places her traumatic early life experiences in the context of her understanding of reincarnation. She shares her own mystical experiences and the experience of dissociation and disembodiment and the impacts these have had on her life. She also relates her experience as a homosexual and her insights from anthroposophy about homosexuality.
You can listen to my conversation with Dawn here.
