Memoir Writing Classes
Each individual biography is a gift from the gods and a collaboration with the gods.
Yet all too often the daily bustle of life makes us forget the grandeur and wonder of
being human. Memoir writing can help you to reconnect with the true purpose of
life. The classes will encompass discussion, movement, memory, laughter, sadness
and wonder as we find and follow the rich weavings of life to unlock the mysteries
of your biography and destiny.
All levels of writing ability are welcome. Maximum of six participants per class.
Advice and assistance will be offered on publishing options. Individual tuition also
available on request.
6 Nov - 18 Dec (seven weeks)
on Saturday mornings 9.30 am - Noon

Both options will recommence 8 Jan 2011

Who will I meet when I die?
Have you ever asked yourself this question? Most of us have. It’s one of the few meaningful concepts that we can grasp onto in our quest to gain a foothold into the unknowingness of death. But it doesn’t really get us very far because it presupposes that you have to wait until death to find the answer.
Instead, you need to flip the question inside out and ask; do the dead want to contact me? The answer is yes. Dead people are urgently trying to make contact with the living, but either our fears, or our sentimentality, block them. This is understandable given our modern day consciousness, but it needn’t be so. Contact with the dead is so straightforward and ordinary that you are probably encountering the dead on a daily basis but simply failing to recognise it.
This talk will explore indications given by Rudolf Steiner, and developed by Kelly Connor, that will explain how to recognise contact from the dead and what you can learn from them. You might also find the answer to the question; who will I meet when I die?

Diana - Her Afterlife Story
Building a Bridge Between the Living and the Dead
The most documented life of modern times is that of Diana, the People’s Princess. We followed her life story with rapt devotion, and we followed her death story with utter desolation. Yet fear and prejudice has thus far prevented us from following her life-after-death story. It needn’t be so. It shouldn’t be so. Diana wouldn’t want it so. Her very public life and death provides ideal ground from which we can begin the task of building a bridge between the living and the dead. Using indications given by Rudolf Steiner, and developed by Kelly Connor through her life-long destiny with the dead, the workshop will develop a template based on Diana’s afterlife that will provide a firm foothold for further research.

TWO EMPTY CHAIRS
The true story of a modern initiation
Written and performed by Kelly Connor
Directed by Graham Dixon
Kelly Connor was just seventeen when she caused the death of a woman pedestrian in 1971. Engulfed by shame and guilt, and haunted by the question, ‘Do I have the right to continue living?’ she sought refuge from her torment in a psychiatric hospital. But the nightmare took on terrifying new dimensions that forced Kelly to find solace and guidance from an unlikely source; the woman that she had killed.

It has been announced that West End playwright, Peter Oswald, will adapt Kelly’s book for the stage.
Oswald says of Kelly’s book, “I am more and more interested in focusing on contemporary reality in such a way as to find within it the same ancient poetic forms that have moved playwrights down the ages. I would be fascinated to explore the possibilities of a contemporary tragedy, which, though centred on a car crash, is able to attain something of the dimensions of the ancient Greek tragedies. If the crash was just a neutral accident, why is Kelly destroyed and transformed by it? If it was not an accident, if it was in some way a design of fate, what does that tell us about the nature of the universe?”
“There are questions we perhaps avoid, which cry out to us from the most commonplace events. Good drama has its feet on the ground and its head far above and beneath the ground, and Kelly Connor’s real life story contains all the necessary dimensions and elements, I believe, for an extremely ambitious but accessible piece of dramatic work.”
Peter Oswald’s credentials are substantial. His latest adaptation of Schiller’s Mary Stuart, has just completed a hugely successful four-month run at the Apollo Theatre. Over the past decade he has had two plays produced at the National, two world premieres at Shakespeare’s Globe and several translations staged, including Lorca’s Do�a Rosita the Spinster at the Almeida.
Schiller’s Mary Stuart opened at the Donmar in July before transferring to the Apollo, West End, and an original play, The Storm, inspired by Plautus’s Roman comedy The Rope, played at the Globe this summer with Mark Rylance in the lead role.
