Carole’s passion lies in the telling of things, and it is from this passion that she teaches. Carole is creative, innovative, and probing. She is dedicated to authentic self-expression which is fluid rather than fixed, and thus always excitingly and maddeningly changing. Carole invites – often by way of provocation – curiosity and discovery among her students by prompting them to enter into the unpredictable waters of intra- and interpersonal engagement, in an energetic exploration of creative group dynamics that heralds resistance, and is thorough, magical, and ultimately transforming. Carole excavates stories that can be well-articulated, creatively crafted, and cognitively understood, but values even more the stories that are beyond conceptual understanding, yet lived in fleeting moments of immediacy. Carole is convinced that all stories are intertwined, and at the intersections the keepers of these stories – the people who live and witness them – are re-shaped in to something larger, which contains and reveres the sparkly filaments for creating a more expansive and inclusive whole.
