Bev talks a bit about the process of bringing Ploughing The Salt Sea to life, with the help of mentor and coach Dr. Mo Cohen, PhD candidate, Solo AutoBiographical Theatre.

Mo, originally trained in psychology and anthropology, is a lifelong student of personal and organisational transformation. He was moved in the last ten years from being a social scientist to becoming an artist and performer.

Through his work he helps performers work though transformational moments in their life, and helps turn that into art, poetry and solo performances.

Bev follows this work within her workshops, ahead of her performances, helping participants to transform their own stories into pieces of art, which she takes on tour with her as part of the show.

Everyone is welcome to join Bev in 'Fishing for Creativity' @ashburntonarts 02.12.23. Tickets are free and available via the link in the bio.

Join Bev @ashburtonarts on December 2nd, where her one woman solo show, takes you on a journey of self discovery as she travels back through the generations of her family in Ploughing The Salt Sea.

"Bev's delivery and writing was exceptional ... and the very wonderful and unique way Bev's vocal melodies dance along with her instrumental lines"

It's a tale of small town fishing-communities, which connects universally to women, secrecy, loss, and finding one's own voice through music, songs and storytelling.

Our second Gansey, telling the story of my family’s history, is currently being knitted by the wonderful Helen. This time she has added in some extra details including an interesting new rope pattern.

This version of the Gansey will be accompanying me to @AshburtonArtCentre on 02.12.23 for my next performance of Ploughing The Salt Sea, before coming back to Hastings, the heart of where my story began - where it will hopefully be displayed locally for all to enjoy.

I can’t wait to share it with you.
