Lyn Ferrand is a writer, director and filmmaker. She founded Turning Point Theatre Company and was the Creative Director of Buzzword Films. She is also Charli's Mum! Lyn’s work over her 40-year-and-counting career has addressed diverse health and social issues, from racism in rural communities, to the impact of parental mental illness on children, to bullying in schools, and the challenges faced by those who find themselves unexpectedly often, as the primary or sole carer for a loved one, through award winning theatre and training film dramas.
This conversation was recorded at the Dream Festival 2022 in Exeter, Devon. The festival was run by the Cygnet Theatre to bring art to unexpected places and helping everyone find their creative spark.
In this chat, Lyn and Charli discuss their our own dreams - from one elder millennial to someone on the cusp of the silent generation; the different journey their lives and careers have taken as women; and the similarities in the challenges they both face, despite the generational cap.
Lyn’s new project CREATIVE ROAD offers workshops, theatre and film to those working in mental health, with carers and in the NHS. For more information, head to lynferrand.com or find her on LinkedIn.
