Keynote Presentation Moments of Grace
David Roche
4:00 p.m. Conference Adjourns
David Roche, born with a severe facial difference, acknowledges having been carried on the shoulders of others throughout his life transitions and relates his life experience to what the listeners face on a daily basis. “Moments of Grace” is filled with stories both humorous and compelling that will encourage and empower audience members in their vitally important work.
David Roche, a pioneer in disability arts and culture, is an inspirational humorist, keynote speaker, and performer who has transformed the challenges and gifts of living with a facial disfigurement into a compelling message that uplifts and delights audiences around the world.
He has performed his signature one-man show, The Church of 80% Sincerity, across the U.S. and in Canada, England, New Zealand, Australia, and Russia. His book with the same title was published by Penguin and is available on Amazon.
David has been featured in four films, including Shameless, a 2006 feature-length documentary by Bonnie Sherr Klein from the National Film Board of Canada.
Now he and his lovely wife Marlena Blavin share their stories with a spellbound middle-school audience in their newly launched 24 minute video Love at Second Sight. As they explore themes of self-acceptance (David finds his inner beauty) and accepting others (Marlena moves from revulsion to friendship), the students’ reactions move from discomfort and stunned silence to laughter, delight, and engagement. From their faces and feedback, it is clear that their perceptions have quickly shifted as they are encouraged to take that vital second look.
David is active in his community as well. He was a cofounder of the Childcare Switchboard and Single Parent Resource Center of San Francisco. He and Marlena were cofounders of the first massage therapy program in a hospital in the US. David has been on the board of numerous disability arts organizations including The Association for Theatre and Accessibility and Kickstart Disability Arts.
“Everyone watching gets happy because he’s secretly giving instruction on how this could happen for them, too, this militant self-acceptance. He lost the great big outward thing, the good-looking package, and the real parts endured. They shine through like crazy, the brilliant mind and humor, the depth of generosity, the intense blue eyes, those beautiful hands.”
—Anne Lamott (from her foreword to The Church of 80% Sincerity)
