"Whirlpool" - a film by Kitrina Douglas & David Carless
How many times we dont think twice before we open our mouth and let the words get out? maybe now, after listening Carolyn Ellis speaking i get the light, maybe in that moment i was just letting all the voices talk unless just listen the highest, maybe i´m making a quicly resume of all and take the considerations about everything i "heard". Sometimes we just time a few seconds to understand if that was the correct thing to say, if that few words doesnt go to hurt, can i say in a hurtless way? can i say or respond in a better way without hurt? can listen all that voices and choose that one who´s more attentive and friendly? I think we can change a lot of things if we change the way we think. There are something here that i can really feel, cause when Carolyn said that she need to get closer and delevop a friendship, work together with the people to feel what they feel, that make sense to me. That´s not equal, but, when i was reading a book of Nicholas Sparks, the best one for me, if i just get my focus to what i´m doing, i almost can say thai in that moment i´m living the story, if he say that the charater is on the beach and feels the sea breeze, for moments i feel it to. Or when i was listening music i get in the music and feel every word the singer give us. We need to have the capacity of feel like the others to try to understand what hey really have to trasmit us, we have to try to dress their skin, to pass by what they pass, we have to be emphatics with, friendly, we have to share love, because when we do something with love the result will gonna be the better. Ricardo Araujo.
Good points! seems like you have really considered what Carolyn suggests, x
I particullary like and feel this one like it´s mine. I´m a south african guy who come to Portugal because all the reasons my parents use to talk about when i ask them.. Since I was a child my mom tells me that i have a particular question when she talk about a random topic: "why mommy?" "but why?". Now I am older right? (laughs), but that question that i make its still the same. While i was taking my graduation i have the necessary of asking to the teachers why, "why that have to be like this", "why this happen that way?", "why that cant be done that way". I really feel that i have to understand the why of things happen, not just in school with subjets, but with life too. Sometimes i look dump always asking why, but if i don´t understand and i really want to, why should i be quiet unless asking? it jsut doesn´t make sense for me. My parents for times said that they are preocupied about the way i easily make friends or get to people knows me, but when i look for my circle, for my friends, for the people i know, for the random people who gets into my life i just understand that i learn something with them, easily i change information, stories with because in my opinion we have to see the world in the other perspective to understand some "whys" that we can´t get alone. Nobody have time, money or health to live all the things that need to be lived, so, "why" can we live some adventures, some travels, some conversations, some experiences, some culture, some learnings with the other? Why dont we allows us to live life without fear to know how gratefull it is? Ricardo Araújo
Lovely reflections, really considerate and insightful, thank you
Everyone have they own vision of a certain type of situation, everyone pass and live things that probably we don´t and if we allow ourselves to understand what the others have to say, if we try to listen what they thought about, if insteaf of judging or pointing out whatever it is, if we try to understand the way others see or think, if we consider his opinions in order to try to understand and learn with, if we have empathy to go through the situations that they give us and told us about by words, music or movies we will be able to gather information avout something that we have no way to report or speak and this is the kind of research that we will never be able to do alone. We all need each other to learn more and better because nobody can ever learn alone, we all learn with eachothers since we born. Learn its also share the moments we pass by with the others, we have to feel ok with communicate and tell the way we see the world, we also have to feel right when we listen the person on our side to talk about something, because we can retire something with them that we already didnt know. Ricardo Araújo
Thanks for these thoughts and reflections Ricardo, and for taking time to watch and engage!🙏
What a interview, i mean, what kind of student don´t wanna classes like this? These type of methodology that should be use, how many times we try to understand what the others feel or think? As a student several times I had to abstain myself for fear of saying something inappropriate or nonsense, I never felt that I could be vulnerable or that I could make a mistake, there was no opening to mistakes. How good will it be to enter a classroom knowing that I will be able to talk about somethimg without the fear of being judge? In which the teacher will be able to "see" or understand me. I thing the problem currently is that there are a lot of people who just want to teach and do not prove themselves available to learn, just want to be the person with the most importante words. Knowledge has never occupied space and unfortunately there are many people who think or consider themselves wise. We all learn something with each other and for me, that´s the most magical thing we can get for life. Ricardo Araújo
Thank you very much, Kitrina 😊 I look very much forward to keeping the conversation going, and to future collaborative instalments ;-)
Thank you, Kitrina, for this wonderful video and song. Enjoyed our chat at ISAN 2024 very much, although it was definitely too brief ;-) There was an interesting element of identity in relation to the word "songwriter," and who gets to call themselves one. I hope I relayed (via musicologist Jon-Roar Bjørkvold's notion of muse-ical beings), that I believe we all can be, and in a sense already are from birth. Mary Gautthier in the audiobook version of her book Saved By a Song, (which ends with an interview), says: 7:15:30 I think the big takeaway is don’t leave music and song up to professionals. It’s available to all people who feel pulled and called to it, and it has something in it that the human spirit really needs. It is mysterious and mystical, and it is beyond words, it is a language in and of itself. And I think that until the music business was formed everybody was a part of music. Then we over time made it into an industry, and then we left it to professionals, and I don’t think ii’s all that hard to write a song. I think you can get a couple of chords like g, c and d and just start singing. Little kids write songs all the time. So, I think the big takeaway is that it is available to way more people than we are aware of right now, given where we are with the music industry. I’ve seen the faces of men and women who have served and who have co-written a song and they’re just blown away, like: I that how you do it? And yeah - that’s how you do it, making it up. We just make it up? Yeah - just make it up. (Laughs). And then we sing it. And then something else can happen, you know, something beautiful. ❤
Dear Martin, this is very warm and generous, and I'm sure will resonate with others, thank you so much for leaving such a wise message, and such a "call" to our communities to join in, xx I look forward to seeing you again soon, to paying with you in the round, and to presenting alongside your wonderful work, xKitrina
Gorgeous artistic video. Soothing and evocative.
and then there is the opportunity to share live, in your sitting room!❤🌼🌻
Writing a song about someone else's life and finding out it about our lives. Wonderful. Song connects us. Don't really know what song is about or why I'm writing it until I write it. Performing it is part of process. I experience all this in my writing as well. thank you Kitrina for this gift of song.
Carolyn, thankyou for the inspiration behind this session, this was such gift for us all 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for sharing some of your process Kitrina and the 'call to song'...❤
thanks for leaving a comment Sally, really appreciate to know what makes sense to others! xx

I love the sense of not knowing until you go, the surprise in the performance/making. It resonates so much. Thanks, as always, for sharing your work in this form. It's always so good to encounter it. Best to you and David.
Craig, you are aways so generous with your comments, I really appreciate you taking the time to share this with me, thankyou, xxKitrina
Guitar Tabs Hello, someone asked for the guitar tabs but I can't now find the comment, but if you are looking again and want them, here they are ‘Blue Funnel Line’ Chords Intro: F# minor/A♭ minor (both played with open low E, B and high E strings) E On the Blue Funnel Line I set to sea On the Blue Funnel Line I left behind the grey Mersey A E Like my father before and his father before who fled poverty C#minor As I waved from the deck and watched my mother wave back B One more man slipped from her grip A Oh she tried to hold on, yes she tried to hold on E But I was too strong B A E On the Blue Funnel Line I followed my will and was gone (Repeat for verse 2, 3 and 4)
Very nice indeed. I was a "Middie" on the Menestheus sailing from Swansea and the Rhexenor sailing from Singapore in 1975. Too old to change my apprenticeship at 17 from Deck Officer to Engineer but my three trips left an indelible mark on me as a man. Yes, my first trip was on the Dunkwa, EDs. Thanks for taking the time for such a lovely video.
Hi Kevin, thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment, much appreciated. Great hearing you have a personal link too.
I saw a wonderful film that some of Carolyn’s students made - it was a reminiscence peace but acted by young people. Does anyone know where I can find this? Thankyou !
Sorry, I can tell you about our films but it may be best to ask Carolyn herself about films that she makes with her students 🙏😊

Very powerful and real video. Well made and flows well, I will definitely be referencing this in my stuff.
Aw, thank you so much for leaving a comment, and for what you communicate through it. Really appreciated by everyone involved xKitirna
Thank's for this lead Kitrina, I'd be interested in learning more of how you facilitated the creative workshops and more about this practical side of things, it must take a lot of planning and researching in creative methods and approaches before you even start, not to mention the hard capture of the content.
Hi Mark, and thanks for your comments, I'd be happy to talk further, or come to one of our creative events?
@@kitrinadouglas2990 That would be awesome honestly, I'd love to come to an event and talk, I wonder is anything happening over the summer in the UK or online?
Take a look at these boomerang-project.org.uk/events/workshop-athlete-welfare/ and boomerang-project.org.uk/icae21-information/ and this workshop at QI icqi.org/home/workshops/ and if you can get your e mail to me when we next put something on I can include you, all the best Mark, xKitrina

I love this song , makes me feel belonging, beloved… thanks Kitrina ! 🙏🏽

Yes, those words are still relevant and meaningful even in contemporary society eh! thanks so much for leaving a comment
This is great to listen too, such an insight into the thought behind the process you go through when thinking about how to research these complex issues.
Thanks Mark, lovely to receive your comment, xKitrina
@@kitrinadouglas2990 No thank you, I'll be returning again I'm sure I really enjoyed watching. I tried to find a copy of the Handbook you mentioned but it's out of print, I'm sure ill track one down. The point you made at 51:15 is solid practical advice that is hard to get that really matters when looking for a start in research like this.

'backstories' - Thank you 'Byrdie' for sharing your story with Kitrina and David... I will share with the students I work with training to be therapists...some of them 21st C mums ;)
thanks so much for leaving a response Sally, and its great to know how the film and story is being used, we'd all love to hear from the students too xx
I love this song :) Thank you David and Kitrina for your beautiful work
So touching, this story of hope is so inspiring. I love the fact that she is not letting herself be defined by stereotypes, she is determined to have the future she wishes to have despite all...I love the way it is filmed, the long shots, overlay and music all reinforce key moments in her life struggles and hope. The actress is doing a really good job at showing the anxiety and the range of emotions she is going through; it makes it so realistic!
thanks Pascale, I will pass on your comment to 'Brydie', I'm sure she will be touched by what you've said, thanks for your comments
I've just started teaching my first creative writing class at a local public library and used this video to evoke memory and inspiration - I love what you do and the spirit of creativity you evoke in your work. Thank you😍 Kitrina and David🤗
I keep listening - slightly obsessively - to this track. It is inspirational on so many levels - a fantastic narrative, a representative story and not least of all a great song that has found its way into my head.
We enjoyed the insights you shared and your beautiful music both on the video and Rosevine beach.👏👏
Dear Janice, it was so lovely to meet you both and to receive your warm support for my music and songs on the beach, and I really value that you enjoyed that! for me this morning was very special, quiet and peaceful and a joy to play and sing, to think some one or two others may have enjoyed it too, is wonderful xx
