New Tea With Alice: Boo Dwyer (+ Salon this week)
🕑 Added 2021-02-14 06:38:14 +0000 UTCBoo Dwyer is a powerhouse of the Adelaide Fringe Festival scene; and recently had a run of shows cancelled in Perth. She spoke to me during her quarantine period about life, fulfilment, achievement, deciding whether you've 'done enough' and what that means.
We also discussed loneliness, creativity and the nurturing urge, her open door policy at home and not being THAT mature age student.

NOW, for Afternoon Tea and up Patreonites, this week's Salon (salon 13!!) is in Australian East Coast Time, Tuesday 16 Feb, 8pm or your equivalent home time.
Zoom Meeting link for Tuesday. I'll send the password through on the day.

Now that we've been doing a few of them, there's a protocol emerging, which seems to be working, (everyone on mute, hands up 'radio studio style' to chip in or questions and comments in the chat, hiding your video if you're shy and don't want to be addressed directly etc etc) but I'll be asking a few more questions to refine the process over the next week or so.
One of the things I'd like to know is whether you prefer it when I have a guest in the salon and a topic to discuss (like my dad or another artist) or if you prefer me all to yourselves, rambling as it might be. I guess that's a few questions. Feel free to answer below. I'll maybe do a poll later anyway, once I've divided those questions into more manageable chunks.

Comments
I prefer the solo option. And the audience has a camera button. If you are a "3rd row and back" type then turn your camera off. If you are a "front row" type then put your camera on and don't be surprised if you are chosen for comment.
Having a guest and having pure unscripted you both sound like good options. I think having a guest may mean there is more structure and will be enhanced if fellow Patreonites feel brave enough to chip with with their comments and questions. But, some shyer people may be less likely to speak up if they thought they were taking time away from the guest.
I feel like getting to chat/hear from just pure unscripted you is what makes the salons unique, but I do think I would enjoy guests being there so probably is good to have a mix :)
