I love it when my job feels like play.
Recently, I had so much fun playing with Sunflower’s We Love Shakespeare! class. My daughter, Suzie (who’s in the class) and I wrote a couple of video scripts together to promote Sunflower’s upcoming Hop, Skip & a Jump-A-Thon fundraiser. And then I got to spend last Friday afternoon watching the always-up-for-anything Shakespeare players bring our words to life.
I learn so much when I’m around kids– mostly along the lines of be playful, have fun, and don’t take myself too seriously.
For her part, Suzie helps me keep it real. Like when I wrote the line (for part 2 of the video), “film a video of yourself…” And she gently reminded me, 10-year-old that she is, “Mommy, nobody really knows what film is anymore. Say ‘make a video.'”
So.
I hope you enjoy this video that we made!
