Sommaire:
Pamela Sackett is the principal artist, producer and founder of Emotion Literacy Advocates (ELA). In 1992, Pamela was the guest poet for a conference, performing from her book Speak of the Ghost, the writing of which unlocked a deeper understanding of her early teen trauma experience, how it wove its way into her adult life and how her self-communication clarity emboldened her to further liberate herself from enervating family patterns. At that same conference, Pamela also facilitated a self-reflective writing workshop for which she dreamt up the term emotion literacy to identify the workshop's aim. There, she performed excerpts from her monologue book series as prompts for exploring the nature of inner narrative and its bearing on selfhood and society. Over time, the responses to Pamela's writing, performances and workshops buoyed her endeavor to speak out about the importance of language, ways of thinking, being and doing. The trajectory of Pamela's work continues as she collaborates with visual artists around the globe to create and produce arts-based learning tools to foster greater self and social awareness. Pamela's body of collaborative work sheds light on topics including perception, self-trust, uncertainty and vulnerability, grief, self-authority, brain part imperatives, feeling-favoritism & feeling-equity, behavior-centrism, mental health and language. Pamela's original musical, theatrical and rhythmic-prose-style storytelling and presentations are embraced by social service agencies, special interest organizations, incorporated into high school and university curricula, local government agency programs and broadcast media.In addition to Speak of the Ghost: In the Name of Emotion Literacy and Two Minutes To Shine her theatrical monologue book series (Samuel French, NY), Pamela's other book titles are Saving the World Solo, Booing Death: with Shpilkes & Rhyme, I Can: Twelve Ways to Witness the Heart.To publicly acknowledge Pamela's writings, productions and outreach on behalf of emotion literacy advocacy, Pamela was presented with Antioch University's Distinguished Alumni Award (2013)....
