Please contact the author for ideas and for background materials carranwaterfield.co.uk About the Author: Carran Waterfield is an independent theatre and performance maker, creative teacher and published writer. Her poetry, play scripts, educational materials and reflective writing have been published by Routledge and Triarchy Press. Redhair and Daffodil Friend is her first venture into independent publishing. Carran has always been interested in rituals, folklore, myth and fairytales. This interest has underpinned much of her creative work. Her writing comes out of a body-based approach to story-building, working with universal themes and imagery. The themes in Redhair and Daffodil Friend began to emerge out of an exploration into the nature and structure of fairytales several years ago. The story has been developed through improvisation and workshops with young people led by Carran. Carran's long creative career has included working as a Drama and English teacher in Coventry schools full time until the mid-1990s. She formed her independent touring theatre company Triangle Theatre (UK), in the late 1980s. Carran then left full-time teaching to pursue theatre-making full-time. Moving between teaching and theatre her company toured schools, colleges and universities, as well as the Edinburgh Festival and international touring in Japan, Australia and Europe. She makes site-sensitive performance work in landscapes and is a visiting artist in drama and performance departments within universities mainly in the North of England. Triangle Theatre (UK) founded and led The Little Herberts, a performance art group for children who were crucial to the creation of what has become Redhair and Daffodil Friend.
