Overview
When Mountains Meet is a gig-theatre production by the Authentic Artist Collective and KT Producing taking place as part of Rise Up Festival in the Lemon Tree, Aberdeen. The piece has been created and inspired by the letters and journals of Scottish musician Anne Wood, who travelled from Scotland to Pakistan in her mid-twenties to find her father and travel with him in his country.
We are delighted that storyteller Mashal Peerzada, a passionate champion of authentic women’s narratives, will join us all the way from Lahore to lead the Unsent Letters creative writing workshop for female-identifying people. Mashal is the founder of Yellow Brick Creative Development in Pakistan.
The Unsent Letters experience is a joyful and safe space for sharing, learning and unexpected conversations. Bringing together the nostalgia of letter writing, journaling and dramatic reading, Unsent Letters creates community out of strangers and allows us to tell our stories with courage and kindness.
This workshop will take place on: Sunday 5 May at 11.30am

Feedback from past participants:
“Unsent Letters was truly a magical experience. I was amazed by how Mashal Peerzada and her partners enabled a group of people, most of whom had never met before, to express real thoughts and just for a moment pause everything in their lives to attend to their own feelings. By the end of the session, I felt empowered knowing I had another tool to reach out to myself.”
“Strangers sharing stories, their joys, their pains, their fears and their eccentricities. An experience not easily forgotten. In my own words, I lived a little in those few hours.”
“Women struggle to find space to connect, to be vulnerable and ask for help. Unsent Letters and Yellow Brick create that space.”
