Didi Drake & popcorn

Originally from the USA, I am a rooted nomad. I began my working life as an English teacher in Japan (1990-2000), then became a workshop leader for NGOs and since then have been involved in social movements and have worked in Mexico, Kenya, South Sudan, the UK and most recently in Valencia and Catalonia. Throughout, the constant thread has been education as a way to change oneself and the world. In the art of clowning I have found creativity and laughter to be essential elements to build other worlds where many worlds fit and we live with dignity, justice and equality.
