![Meg - [Stranger 216]](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_sFa4BOlOhEs0jLpBioriYOfXJHRjiyPKHGJMQHdmq3HXsMtOeK3xECXfxalOOJEJWDITrLgI0_CttpfT32ocAVhPCTyZMyGVsHwl5zCXRMT54ZVaFm3XiFA_hQ_Qj9oyKrzA=s0-d)
A visit to Cambridge for a walkabout for my strangers project was the order of the day today. The weather was fantastic. Whilst wandering, I found this backdrop, it is a foot/cycle bridge across the railway lines near the station. Too good an opportunity to pass, I waited for a good few hours for the perfect stranger to pass. I noticed Meg and her fantastic colourful hair and thought she would make the ideal stranger to suit my chosen background.
Meg lives and works in Cambridge. She happily agreed to my making her portrait but said she only had 5 minutes as she was on her way to work.
Meg works as a workshop facilitator at "Mixed Bag Theatre" in Cambridge. Taken from their Facebook page:
We are an all-ability, inclusive theatre group open to adults with learning difficulties, physical disabilities and sensory impairments.
We use our patchwork bag of random objects as a devising tool, to begin co-writing a new story between us. That story will take us on an imaginative journey that involves:
⦁personal & social skills development
⦁inner talent & confidence growth
⦁play & song writing
⦁drama, dance & singing skills
⦁costume & prop making
⦁backdrop designing & painting
⦁stage directing & film-work
⦁*organising showcase performances for family & friends
Our group looks to give a voice to and find a role for anyone with an interest in the arts. We now have an uber team of 6 workshop faciliators; Meg, Linda, Karen, Bee, Paul & Kay.
Each have years of experience working with people with disabilities, learning difficulties, mental health issues, those from various cultural backgrounds and of all ages. The one trait that unites us is our love for inspiring!!
"People make me happy, I love being able to connect with others"
Thanks Meg, I hope you weren't late for work!
