How lucky are we to have witnessed performances from some of the comedy greats? Morecambe and Wise, The Two Ronnies, Victoria Wood, Billy Connolly ... pure magic. However, there is more to their skills than meets the eye. Susan loves to explore the history and the artistry behind some of the performances which have made us laugh til we cry.
Throughout history, great orators have made great speeches which have moved people to action and brought about change in our world. Susan has tried to bring some of these together in talks which remember and celebrate how the words of these speeches echo throughout the ages.
Whether we're aware of it or not, poetry surrounds us each and every day - it's not just confined to the pages of dusty old library books which are only read on high days and holidays. Poetry sells to us, it's read on our special days, it often features large in our lives. Susan loves to try and bring poetry alive in the most unexpected of ways.
The powerful combination of melody and message can move us to tears. Susan just loves to share how songs have been crafted throughout the years to convey meaning and stir the emotions. Throughout the years, songs have even been crafted to motivate us towards activism and change. A beautiful thing indeed.
