Hello and welcome back to another episode of Just like the Moon (we go through phases).Today we meet the fab Emma Jayne Park - dancer, theatre maker, collaborator and micro-activist. From her base in Scotland she works locally, nationally, internationally and as Associate Artist with The Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival; one of the world's largest social justice arts festivals.In this episode Emma talks about what it is like working in the arts, her experience of going through cancer treatment, about her diagnosis with complex post traumatic stress disorder, and the reality of coming to the conclusion that her lifestyle means living out of a suitcase and therefore her choice to move back home to Gretna.A little bit of warning as is needed sometimes with this podcast - Emma talks about briefly about having suicidal ideation. If this is something that is sensitive to you at this time, feel free to move on to another episode and you can always just come back to it when you are in a better place.To find out more about Emma's work under the creative handle Cultured Mongrel, check out her website: https://www.culturedmongrel.org/
