I've been
building confidence in people since 1990. I'm not done yet!
EMER TEACHES DRAMA
a short history:
It was a dark time; a time before hair-straighteners, mobile phones, t'internet. I stood before Mrs Galassi, in all of my twenty three years and under a mop of dangerously wild, late 80's/early 90's 'big' hair. "Are you looking at me, dahling? I can't tell." She said. I brushed my curly bangs out of my face and smiled nervously. Mrs Galassi was the drama teacher around these parts, a legend, even in her own time. I had been summonsed to her parlour following the resounding success of The Sound of Music, a show I had directed for our local amateur musical society and she had decided to take me under her wing. Mrs Galassi was, and still is, the epitome of easy confidence. She was dramatic to her fingertips, and she used these dainty ring-clad digits now to categorise the order my young life would henceforth take:
1: I'd study with her and get my teaching diploma. 2: I'd set up my own drama school. 3: I wasn't concentrating anymore, so I can't remember. I was dizzy with excitement that anyone - let alone Mrs G, would consider me worth investing in.
Want to know (briefly!) what happened between 1990 and 2022? READ THIS!
Thirty two years after I opened my school, I'm back doing what I love and what I'm good at.
Once again, I'll be building confidence in people from September 2022.
EMER WRITES
Over the pandemic I wrote a book; a piece of creative non fiction. It's the story of a girl who gave her baby up for adoption, and who buried the pain in her heart until a pandemic ripped it apart. You can see me tell part of that story in a TEDx talk in the link below.
If you like reading, you're welcome to read my blogs or some of my short stories and essays in the EMER WRITES section. If you hate writing, check out the accounts I've written for under CONTENT CREATION. I'm one of those weirdos that likes writing that stuff. If you're a teacher or a director, check out my play samples under DRAMA & PLAYS. Contact me if you'd like to buy plays or have me write something to suit your needs.

CHICKENS!
I adore my 13 rescue chickens. Like the characters I write, the chickens bully me, but I don't mind. You can follow their antics and mine in my blog, EMER WRITES CHICKEN RIGHTS
