In this episode, Gaby speaks to Dan Wei about:
- how her theatre show - 'Little Tadpoles Looking for Mama" - significantly impacted her grief
- how she found solace in Mother Nature
- her experience of losing a parent at 9 years old
- using stories as a way of exploring grief
...plus she shares how you can start connecting to nature as therapy.
Dan is a Chinese-Australian multi-disciplinary artist whose practice includes science and technology, interactive installations, poetry, movement, and performance. Her original theatre show, "Little Tadpoles Looking for Mama", is a dance piece with a difference where nature meets nurture; a dialogue of sound and movement that explores love, loss and our everlasting search for human connection.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
