Abundance - a room in Leeds

We come into this world with nothing, and we leave this world with nothing, but is that really true?' There’s all that stuff we accumulate during our lives on Mother Earth, mountains of stuff, rivers of c**p, and out of all that we create extraordinary, beautiful and useful things. Are these things the things that define us and make us who we really are? If we let go of all this stuff, would we lose ourselves?

The Glass Slippers

The real story… of a girl who is brave, strong, clever, and determined to prove herself.

The real story… about a lonely prince, a new family and sisters who might not be as bad as you think.

The real story… of everyday objects that change with a touch of magic and a clock that at the stroke of midnight changes everything.

This is the real story… of Cinderella and the glass slippers!

Ripe is the stories of what an older body can do and be.
Ripe is looking for the light in her eyes.
