Hello Dear Friend,
Welcome to these pages, which are (like most things I do), unfinished and evolving... a real work-in-progress! If you've seen me in action, you know that I'm wildly passionate about singing: I sing, you sing, everybody sings. Nothing makes me happier! I love juicy harmonies... the way everyone sings something different and the overall effect is - in a word, Divine. Truly. For me, singing harmonies makes for heaven on earth, especially with the angelic sound of children's voices! So have a listen to The Magic Garden, original songs that capture the magic of childhood. All the songs are true - meaning, they all came from real happenings! Jeremy's little rooster did crow in the middle of the night and there was a real little Mousie, Mousie, whose gentle tappings at the wall and nocturnal scurryings inspired Serena's sing-songy musings. Let us know which songs you like the best! You can also check out the audio components of some of the teaching resources, like Hebrew Songs and Dances, or the audiobook of the Legend of St Christopher. Next, there's a deep love of movement in all forms: Earthy movement (clashing swords onto shields, like Vikings!) or more heavenly movements, (like Eurythmy), where everyone moves together in a flow and you get a sense that there are Angels speaking through the inter-weavings... I love them all! And then there's storytelling and play-making, art-forms with great transformational powers. You'll find some of the greatest stories of humanity in our Play-in-a-Box series, designed to bring magic and new life to primary school classes. Enjoy! About me...personally? Well... I live on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, together with Mathis, (my super-humanly cheerful husband), and his black-headed python, Bruny, who escaped recently... giving our neighbors the fright of a lifetime! Here in Mona Vale, the ocean is my muse... and I'm grateful each day for this crazy, wonderful thing we call human life on earth! In love, Diane |
