How are you handeling being at home?
Me: Being at home, home teaching, being a dad, taking care of the house. Just going outside for shopping or, gladly still possible in the Netherlands, a small walk or bike ride.
Enjoying being closer to the kids than I am used to, enjoying the peace it brings in this ratrace we call life. But I do miss having some time for myself. I miss making films or theater. I miss telling stories and listening to stories and ideas of others. And I miss working with other creatives.
But, in the spare moments I do have for myself I was also thinking of the possibilities.
I am not in this alone. As a matter of fact: We are all in this together. All over the world. This disease knows no borders, no politics or religion. These times are unique. What if we use this time to share our personal stories? Share your thoughts and feelings? What if we find personal stories from everywhere and find writers and actors from everywhere to film these stories?
Together with writer Michiel Richards, I created the concept for sharing the ‘at home monologues’. I like to introduce to you ‘Missing Pieces’.
New monologues are still being created, so new words from around the world will be uploaded every week.
