Spoken Words From the Woods : Lula Edmonds at TEDxWhitechapel

Lula's artist practices have bubbled and shifted over many years and recently taken on the form of spoken word. It seems to come from a place of need, a need to understand, belong, heal, play and be curious. Having dyslexia it came as a surprise that words could become such a strong form of expression but as the rambling spills tended to know more than she thought she did, she has learnt to allow it, let it simply come without getting in the way. Our worlds moves in curious ways, 'who am I to stop the unknown?' she felt.
She regularly practices 'Action theatre', stream of consciousness writing, nature awareness, sensory awareness, meditation, improvisation and is currently studying with the incredible institute of Tamalpa in Expressive Art Movement based psychotherapy. Expression through art has become a life blood, ritual and a loyal friend.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
