femi and_ionaThis is one of a series of interviews with RSPOPUK’s four trustees. 

Olufemi has been involved with Process Work for many years. She is a poet, writer and storyteller. She is also the founder of ‘Community Dialogue for Change’ a community organisation, that bridges separation by connecting diverse communities through dialogue. She is also an active member of World Family: working on Food Justice and Food Sovereignty in the Global South, as well as at home. I interviewed Femi quite soon after the January 2012 Intensive on Innerwork so we have included some of Femi’s reflections on that event as well as her interest in Process Work.

Martin Gent

Physical theatre

How did you come across Process Work, and who were you at the time?

I had been interested in the idea of transformation for quite a long time as a performer and maker of theatre work and a maker of art. As a performer I studied physical theatre, so I’m a physical performer rather than an actor. I had a performance company called dA dA dUMB, with another Martin who was a dancer, and we made physical atmospheric performance work, devised from scratch.
