Wanda Sayer

'Say wha?!' Wanda is a truth-teller, opened up she reveals herself, unafraid. Some have remarked on her striking lack of remorse. 'If it's done, it's done; if it's spent, it's spent'.
Her business is as facilitator and collaboration-instigator. She maintains sufficient boundaries so as not to give out more than her inner reserves will permit.
What brought us together? We found that we shared an outlook, a respect for being able to laugh at life, a deep seriousness worn lightly. An ideal evening out begins with a meet-up in party dress but with running shoes. From that came a choreographed piece about women owning the space that they are in.
Wanda reminds me to own those labels, reflected in our piece, 'Ms. know-it-all'.


The personification of the object piece, above, resulted in a piece of work giving material form to the discussion about past, present and future:

weighted, freighted, isolated;
standing still to let go:
dancing with the energy of the world
The exercise made explicit the ongoing dialogue I have with objects through my practice. It confirmed the benefit of deepening self-knowledge in order to communicate ideas and values clearly.
