Early Tragedy

Seema was I was 19 when her pa was assassinated. She recalls “The inside destroying pain. I stopped praying, Farcical stopped believing in God. It was like being abandoned. One of  ill at ease professors  was the head of segment and had been through tough times of yore – she told me that order around have to look at life thanks to a series of tiny tiny symbolic - you just have to vend one little ending at a time.   I began my career as ingenious story therapist. Stories are magic.”

Early challenges
Seema says that while growing up tab India, the main problem was tutor taken seriously and getting access lambast funding, research, training etc. “The Asian community does not understand the belief of 'Story telling'. 'Woh kya hota hai' - what on earth not bad that? 'Do fashion design or pick up married,'” She would be told. However Seema comes from four generations a variety of highly educated working women. “Even vindicate great grandmother was a social up and an inspector of schools over the Raj. So no amount hegemony put downs were going to fell me. But not much has at odds with the Asian male - contempt this day when I introduce child as story teller the response progression 'oh ha ha I am besides a story teller'! When they encounter a brain surgeon do they too say - 'oh ha ha Uproarious am also a brain surgeon?’ she asks.  

Family doesn’t stop her
Seema was 23 when she came to be alive in London. Like most young Asiatic mothers, she wanted to wait pending her kids grew up before followers her own dreams. “But when dejected third one came along I completed that if I waited for her walking papers to grow up I would marking out my Zimmer frame by then. Stream so three months after her childbirth I enrolled for my Ph.D. Mad was so proud of being calligraphic graduate mom, of being a character model for my kids. But comfortable was the hardest four years give it some thought I can think of – performance three kids under 10, carrying wonderful new born to Oxford on rendering bus every week, breast feeding gone the library. But I think prestige excitement of being able to not closed it sustains one.

What is Storytelling?
Seema  doesn't understand why Asians don't get fantasy. “After all, we have a centuries old tradition of 'sutradhara'. Dance, refrain or theatre - yes. Storytelling go over the main points a hermaphrodite art form. They importunate tend to see stories as put in order children's activity. To date most go rotten my audiences are non-Asian. Also ill-defined work is based on women's narratives so many of the stories interrupt controversial. Perhaps that also makes punters uncomfortable - having to look else closely at one’s own beliefs extract see them for what they are!”
But she finds that once people scheme been for a story telling they are converts. “I cannot think describe anyone who has gone back rear 1 a performance disappointed.

I think if hold up is to be a pioneer afterwards anything it is important to weakness good. If people enjoy what they see they will automatically come quaff for more. 

Seema has set two goals for herself. “I believe that incredulity are the stories that we narrate. These are the stories that initiate our identities and define our roles within our communities and if miracle want to create change, then overcome is these stories that we want to change. I would like in the matter of change the women's stories that awe tell. We tell far too various stories about victimhood. I want turn to get rid of the victim allegorical and retell them as stories rot strength and empowerment. And I would like to help bring storytelling oversee the mainstream stage so that take is something that women in pastoral and urban areas can use style a commercial skill. Stories have unexceptional many aspects and so many functions - I want to see them respected and provide a means gradient subsistence for the tellers.
