Sisters and life coaches, Leslie Gebhart, M.A. & Carolyn Ingram, Ed.D life will end the day with offering Connecting Your Creativity with Your Next Calling. They will provide tools to support you to reconnect with what is calling you now as you prepare for your next calling. You’ll begin your action plan to carry you from inspiration to results. In addition to their individual work/play with book study facilitation and individual coaching clients, Leslie and Carolyn have written three books together: Have You Ever Been a Child? Hints for Children and Adults, Private! Keep Out!, a journal companion, and The-Not-So-Scary Breast Cancer Book: Two Sisters' Guide from Discovery to Recovery, and have presented many seminars together. They consider it high praise that, after each presentation, they have been invited to return. Together, they have goaded, nagged, inspired, and supported each other in joint and individual pursuits, as only sisters can do. They will work to inspire and support you without the nagging or goading (well, maybe a little nagging) to connect your creativity to your next calling. |

Playback Theater In a playback event, someone in the audience tells a moment or story from their life, chooses the actors to play the different roles, and then all those present watch the enactment, as the story "comes to life" with artistic shape and nuance. The re-creation of stories is often non-naturalistic; actors often use metaphor, narration, chorus, genre, movement and song. Playback performers tend to specialize in one of several roles - conductor, actor, or musician. Some companies also have members who specialize in other roles, such as lighting. For audiences, the active performers can seem preternaturally gifted, as they create their performances without a script or score. Following the practice of the original company, most companies do not consult or "huddle" prior to beginning the story, trusting instead to a shared understanding of the story they have heard and a readiness to respond to each other's cues.
