A State of Becoming

By Dinos Aristidou and Neil Farrelly 

A State of Becoming represents a profound collaboration between theatre-maker Neil Farralley and the late Dinos Aristidou, a visionary educator celebrated for his significant contributions to global arts learning and for his innovative Reflection Cards. Although initially hesitant about transforming his cards into a book, the collaboration between Neil and Dinos enabled the project to blossom into an inspiring, compact, and thought-provoking work. Following Dinos’s passing in 2023, the book took on a new depth, embodying the duo’s shared educational philosophy which promotes profound personal reflection. This concise yet impactful book has captured the hearts of readers and Dinos’s family alike, proving to be a tool for meaningful engagement and introspection.
