IWD tribute
 Anairda on IWD
On Saturday 8th March: "I got to know that there was not going to be a big public event this year to celebrate Women's Day in Plymouth, so I made my own tribute. It was a symbolic "statue" performance on my personal connections to the different aspects of womanhood, with the solgans "my feelings matter, my cycles matter, my Mother matters." I included a clipboard for feedback but the spontaneous reactions from the people passing by was the most rewarding." |

From the 24th to 27th August 2012, Anairda participated at the Living Arts Gathering, in Devon, offering her workshop "Art & Social Action", a "Theatre dynamics" session and an open discussion on "Art, Community & Social Change". "The gathering was an extraordinary opportunity to meet with local artists, with enough time to generate comradeship and contacts for future plans" said Anairda. "From the sessions I offered, my favourite was the 'Theatre dynamics' as they involved physical games, so you get to know the real nature of the people participating. Every session was a real pleasure among such creative people. I am very grateful to have been invited." The Living Arts Gathering is a new initiative to explore Art as an agent of change, in a way that encourages "community cohesion, spiritual renewal and environmental awareness". It was organized by: Tinker's Bubble: tinkersbubble/greenbuilding Renewal Arts: renewalarts.org Buddhafield: buddhafield.com |

"Art & Social Action" at Buddhafield
Participant reviewing concepts
At the Buddhafield festival, from the 11th to the 16th of July 2012, Anairda shared her workshop on "Art & Social Action" with the general public. Many people attending were creative people themselves.
"This is a workshop that I originally structured for people who are interested in any kind of social action and would like to experiment with a more creative approach to it. My main interest is for individuals to recognize the creativity any human being naturally possesses and to feel comfortable using it for their own good cause. It is sad to heard people saying 'I can't draw' or 'I'm not an arty person'; I’m trying to transmit here that maybe not everyone can be an "artist", as that requires commitment & dedication, but _anyone can create' and our world needs more creative power rather than money power(!)"

Anairda is continually structuring other workshops in the same style and seeking more opportunities to share them with the community. She hopes at some point to be able to engage them in her performances. "I loved the way things were explained and processed the easy way. Things can be easy going and flow, yet be powerful and effective" said a participant who attended the workshop.

The debut of "In the World's Web"
Anairda, In the World's Web.Photo: Eileen Long
On Saturday 3rd December 2011 at Plymouth's festival, "In The Flesh", Anairda premiered her solo performance "In the World's Web".
The festival was hosted at the Barbican theatre and Anairda received a warm reception.
"In the World's Web" was her debut in the United Kingdom. The performance takes her on a personal journey where she emerges from a consumerist society to find herself in a new dilemma; the reality of a world naturally multicultural but profoundly disconnected. The piece, that lasts around 20 minutes, expresses innocence, disillusionment, courage and humour in a journey to try to make sense of the complex world human beings have created.
"The preparation for this piece was in itself a journey" said Anairda. "To direct myself after so long was a strong technical challenge. At a personal level, as my work is generated out of my body's memory, I had to review some anguish recorded there in the last years. But precisely one of the best gifts art can give us is to be able to create a space for intimate discharge, with the hope of opening, at the same time, a space for some magic and communication".
