WHO STARTED RUFF BUTTERFLY?

Sarah Norton

Sarah hails from the Wirral peninsula but spent a lot of her childhood in southern Spain. A seasoned traveller in Europe and South America, she is fluent in Spanish.

Sarah has worked for decades as both a teacher (reading hundreds of books to children) and as a therapist working with bodies and minds.

She has a real understanding of how language can be employed to transcend barriers, and fully appreciates the power of words to destroy or heal.

Hugo Chandor

A ex-pat from Norfolk, Hugo has lived in the North West for quite some time.

As a professional actor and voice artist for 30 years, Hugo has crafted his career thus far around the use of words. He has read, learned and performed the words of countless writers and has a long held passion for the sound of language.

As a writer, he has a keen ear for structure, dynamite delivery and

rhythmic resonance.

WHY ARE WE CALLED RUFF BUTTERFLY?

Because:

Butterflies are all about emergence and transformation (as are we all).
Rough suggests that life isn't always plain sailing (and it isn't).
'Ruff' because we like to play with words (and the double 'ff' is much more ffun).
and we like dogs.
