Executive Director of Blubricks and International projects

****************http://www.blubricks.com/*******************



In 2009 my students in KL represented Malaysia in Canada's 'Headline Theatre's' global project 'International Day of Action on Global Warming'. Set up by David Diamond of Vancouver based 'Headline's Theatre', this event took place in every continent around the world, and used theatrical techniques to discover what global warming means, how it is caused, and how we can make changes to save our planet.

Now as joint Executive Director of Blubricks (Kuala Lumpur), I am proud to bring in talented trainers and practitioners from around the world, as well as traveling to UK in order to bring back the latest skill-sets.

If you are interested in working with us in Kuala Lumpur, or collaborating in any way, please contact me at abigail_barragry@yahoo.co.uk
