Join prolific author and artist Lucy H. Pearce and her creative guests - writers, artists, creatrixes - for profound and practical conversations about what creative magic means to us. We'll reflect on what, how and why we create, what drives us...and what stops us in our tracks. We share honestly how we find the time and energy to make magic in the midst of life's challenges and why we keep on saying yes to our creativity.

Victoria Firth is a writer, theatre maker and performer based in Yorkshire. Her work is concerned with embodiment and connection, exploring things lots of us feel but don’t really talk about. Her one-woman show, about childlessness and reinvention, ‘How to be amazingly happy!’ toured nationally; she curated a collection of writing on the presentation of the body – inspired by her live art performance ‘The Butter Piece’; her poetry has recently been published in Northern Gravy's anthology. She is now producing her second play 'Batty!' exploring witches as role models for women othered by social norms and our reciprocal connection with nature. She can be found walking on the moors or wild swimming with her dog Blaidd.
