Diane Edgecomb was one of the first people I saw to make a big impression on me on the professional circuit. Part of it was to do with the workshop I took at the same conference and the detail, depth and compassion she has came out in her work on stage and with workshop participants. Although we have known each other for a long time, we have been skirted about each other, not intentionally, just never had the time to sit down together for more than five minutes. I have a lot of respect for Diane and her ethos, and ethics. I have never had a conversation with her that did not make me think, or get me more excited about our craft. So to spend an hour with her, in her home (thanks Tom, for letting me hang out with Diane for a morning) was wonderful! Please enjoy the thoughts and wisdom of Diane Edgecomb.
