Podcasts about Blood Wedding

Philip Gulley, Peterson, and Sweet Miche share their personal journeys of unlearning traditional theological concepts and reflect on what makes Quakerism a meaningful path to a more authentic faith. Gulley highlights fear as a significant motivator for religious beliefs and a tool for control and how the current political moment is a masterfully evil manipulation of human fears. Gulley also offers his perspective on the continued usefulness of organized religion, emphasizing the importance of bringing people together, respecting personal autonomy, and aligning its social efforts with the ethos of Jesus and radical love. Philip Gulley is a Quaker pastor, writer, and speaker from Danville, Indiana.  Gulley has written 22 books, including the Harmony series recounting life in the eccentric Quaker community of Harmony, Indiana, and the best-selling Porch Talk essay series. Gulley's memoir, I Love You, Miss Huddleston: And Other Inappropriate Longings of My Indiana Childhood, was a finalist for the Thurber Prize for American Hor.  In addition, Gulley, with co-author James Mulholland, shared their progressive spirituality in the books If Grace Is True and If God Is Love, followed by Gulley's books If the Church Were Christian and The Evolution of Faith. In  Living the Quaker Way: Timeless Wisdom For a Better Life Today, Gulley offers the opportunity to participate in a world where the values of the Quaker way bring equity, peace, healing, and hope. In his most recently published non-fiction work, Unlearning God: How Unbelieving Helped Me Believe, Gulley describes the process of spiritual growth, especially the re-interpretation of the earliest principles we learned about God. Resources Here are some resources for friends in the process of unlearning and seeking spiritual growth: Therapy Therapy and spiritual growth can be deeply complementary. While therapy doesn't typically provide spiritual direction, it creates fertile ground for unlearning and spiritual development. You can use online therapist directories to find a therapist by location, insurance, specialty, cost, and more at Psychology Today, TherapyDen, or Open Path Psychotherapy Collective. Poets and Authors Audre Lorde is a profoundly influential Black lesbian feminist writer, poet, theorist, and civil rights activist. Her work powerfully explores the intersections of race, class, gender, sexuality, and ability. You can read her essays in Sister Outsider and her "biomythography" Zami: A New Spelling of My Name. Federico Garcia Lorca is one of Spain's most important poets and playwrights of the 20th century. His work is celebrated for its intense lyricism, surreal imagery, and passionate exploration of themes like love, death, desire, oppression, and Andalusian culture, particularly in works like Gypsy Ballads and plays such as Blood Wedding and The House of Bernarda Alba. Walt Whitman is a central figure in American poetry, often called the "Bard of Democracy." Whitman revolutionized poetry with his use of free verse and expansive lines. His lifelong work, Leaves of Grass, celebrates the individual, democracy, nature, the body, spirituality, and the interconnectedness of all life, aiming to capture the diverse spirit of America. Mary Oliver is an American poet who focuses on the natural world, particularly the landscapes of New England.  Her work finds wonder, spirituality, and profound insight in quiet observation and moments of attention to nature, inviting readers to connect more deeply with the world around them. Christian Wiman is a contemporary American poet and essayist known for his unflinching honesty and intellectual rigor in exploring themes of faith, doubt, suffering (often drawing on his own experience with chronic illness), mortality, and love.  Joy Harjo is a member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation and served as the first Native American U.S. Poet Laureate. Her work weaves together Indigenous history, spirituality, myth, social justice, resilience, and a deep connection to the land, often infused with the rhythms of music and prayer. Akwake Emezi is a non-binary Nigerian writer and artist known for their powerful, innovative, and often genre-bending work. Their novels (like Freshwater and The Death of Vivek Oji) explore complex themes of identity, spirituality (often drawing on Igbo cosmology), gender, mental health, trauma, and the body, challenging conventional Western frameworks of selfhood. Elaine Pagels is a renowned historian of religion, particularly noted for her scholarship on early Christianity and Gnosticism. Her groundbreaking book, The Gnostic Gospels, brought non-canonical early Christian texts to wider attention, revealing the diversity of early Christian thought and exploring how political and social contexts shaped religious history and scripture. LGBTQ+ film festivals are events dedicated to showcasing films by, for, or about queer individuals and communities. They serve as vital platforms for representation, providing visibility for filmmakers and stories often marginalized in mainstream media. These festivals (like Frameline, Outfest, NewFest, and countless others globally) are also important spaces for community building and celebrating queer culture. Quaker Voluntary Service is a year-long program rooted in Quaker values. It brings young adults together to live in an intentional community, work full-time in social justice-focused non-profit organizations, and engage in spiritual exploration and leadership development, putting faith into action. Listener Responses We hear directly from Roxanne, who unlearned the idea that any single group holds the definitive spiritual answer, instead discovering valuable truths across diverse practices and traditions through their continuous seeking. On Facebook, friends shared their experience wrestling with the traditional ideas about God they grew up with. Many people mentioned letting go of a harsh or judgmental image of God, questioning core doctrines, and letting go of feelings of unworthiness.

“It's also like, uh, some kind of a devil loop, because it's exactly a hundred years ago that there were those philosophers' boats that the Soviet authorities just threw out of the country. People like intellectuals, cultural people, artists, film directors… And now it's like a hundred years later and people are fleeing in the same directions. You know, Georgia, Turkey, Armenia.”In this fifth episode of Season 2 we return to a conversation about the ongoing war in Ukraine, this time with accomplished Russian composer Marina Sobyanina. For more than a decade she has lived in Bern, Switzerland. Her work contains and fuses a wide range of genres including contemporary classical music, experimental jazz, and sound design. She composes for chamber ensembles, large orchestra, film, and theater. Marina has long been a vocal opponent of Putin, and her opposition to his regime only increased when Russia invaded Ukraine last February. In this interview she talks about what it means to be a Russian artist who opposes Putin and the current war in Ukraine.Marina grew up in the town of Sarov, which is famous for its nuclear research facility. For more than a decade Marina has lived in Bern, Switzerland. Her work contains and fuses a wide range of genres including contemporary classical music, experimental jazz, and sound design. She composes for chamber ensembles, large orchestra, film, and theater. As her bio puts it, her music “morphs between delicate soundscapes, saturated polystylistic blocks and tricky rhythmical structures.”And while her music is not overtly political, Marina has long been a vocal opponent of Putin, and her opposition to the Putin government only increased when Russia invaded Ukraine last February. In this interview she talks about what it means to be a Russian artist in the current context of global politics.In this interview, conducted last April, Marina speaks with OneBeat co-founder Jeremy Thal. Due to her busy schedule, the best time Marina could find to do this interview was in the car outside of her 3-year-old son's pre-school. We hope you enjoy this interview, and Marina's insights into art and life amidst the tumult of history.We are sensitive to the fact that we're releasing this a year after the war began — there is a very reasonable argument that we should not foreground Russian voices in a time of Russian aggression, and another argument that anti-war Russian voices are needed now more than ever. At OneBeat we are committed to keeping an open and respectful dialogue, and understanding that within our alumni there are many differences of political opinions. So we decided to include Marina's Interview in this season's podcast, to provide a look at how one compassionate and thoughtful Russian musician is navigating these terrifying timesProduced and Edited by Jeremy ThalMixed by Jeremy Thal and Mitya Burmistov Executive Producers: Jeremy Thal, Elena Moon Park, and Kyla-Rose SmithFeaturing: Marina Sobyanina Music heard in this episode: "Ai Bozha" by JAZZATOR"Laughter No.2" for Ensemble Proton, CH (contemporary classical)"Blood Wedding" - excerpt from F.G.Lorka´s theatre play (music for theatre)"Peter the Clown" by JAZZATOR (avant-pop, jazz)"The Very Same Munchhausen" excerpt from a theatre play (music for theatre)"Das Testo" (dough in germ.) - for Ensemble Paul Klee, CH (contemporary classical)"Say goodbye to Mermaid" by SBOKU (folk-jazz, cabaret)“Tableaux Vivants”, excerpt from a theatre play, valse with war sirens (music for theatre)Cradle song from F.G.

Teal Jandrain is a prismatic emanation of rainbows in human form. She's been acting most of her life, appearing in over fifty theatrical productions in her home town of Fort Collins Colorado. She attended acting school at The American Musical and Dramatic Academy in Hollywood. Some of her favorite roles include Abigail Williams in The Crucible, Jill in Equus, The Moon in Lorca's Blood Wedding, Susie in Wait a Until Dark, and as the titular character in a trio of music videos for the band White Water Ramble called, A Band Widow's Lament. Teal's love of acting, screenwriting, and the study of human behavior helped fuel her passion for poetry. She loves the freedom of being a poet because she's always proudly scribbled outside the lines. Her ultimate dream is to make films that stir souls. Teal often wears costumes whilst galavanting in what's commonly known as "the real world," and fearlessly defends the dwindling magic remaining in the universe. Her mother Kate also appeared on QLPOR, and read poetry. Looking at bios from previous episodes has given Teal tremendous new goals. She intends to never grow up, dress more eccentrically the older she gets, always collect unicorns, obsessively write, nurture the growth of empathy among fellow dreamers, and inspire those who have forgotten how to dream to do so again. After walking away from 15 tough years in the restaurant industry, Teal started a YouTube channel called, TealztheRealDeal on January 1st, 2021, and completed her goal of releasing original poetry every day for 365 days. As an old soul, Teal frequents antique stores where she enjoys smelling old books and perusing treasures of days gone by. She still calls people on the phone, handwrites letters, and cherishes her VHS and cassette tape collection. During the pandemic,she became a collage artist which she sees as poetry through imagery. Teal is often described as "weird," she sees it as a huge compliment.

Matthew Specktor, one of the founding editors of the Los Angeles Review of Books, joins Kate Wolf and Medaya Ocher to discuss his newest book, Always Crashing in the Same Car: On Art, Crisis, and Los Angeles, California. A memoir and cultural history, Always Crashing explores the work and lives of writers, actors, directors, and musicians who straddle the line between success and anonymity, and whose careers, though majestic, still leave questions about what might have been had circumstances or, in many cases, their temperaments, been different. These include the screenwriters Eleanor Perry and Carole Eastman, the novelist Thomas McGuane, the actress Tuesday Weld, and the filmmaker Hal Ashby. The book questions notions of both success and failure, especially as filtered through the distorted prism of Hollywood. It also touches on Matthew's own experiences growing up and later working in the film industry, his mother's brief turn as a screenwriter, and his father's more abiding success as a talent agent. A native of Los Angeles, Matthew draws a vivid portrait of the city, with both love and disdain. Also, Jeanetta Rich, whose first collection of poems, Black Venus Fly Trap, was released in June, drops by to recommend Federico Garcia Lorca's play Blood Wedding.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the Spanish poet and playwright Federico Garcia Lorca (1898-1936), author of Blood Wedding, Yerma and The House of Bernarda Alba, who mixed the traditions of Andalusia with the avant-garde. He found his first major success with his Gypsy Ballads, although Dali, once his close friend, mocked him for these, accusing Lorca of being too conservative. He preferred performing his poems to publishing them, and his plays marked a revival in Spanish theatre. He was captured and killed by Nationalist forces at the start of the Civil War, his body never recovered, and it's been suggested this was punishment for his politics and for being openly gay. He has since been seen as the most important Spanish playwright and poet of the last century. With Maria Delgado Professor of Creative Arts at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London Federico Bonaddio Reader in Modern Spanish at King’s College London And Sarah Wright Professor of Hispanic Studies and Screen Arts at Royal Holloway, University of London Producer: Simon Tillotson

Not pictured: 15 entire Black Knight's worth of fake blood. SPOILERS FOR EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL. In this episode: Early on we talk about the particular energy and the unique complications of live shows. This is not the last time this will come up. Evil Dead is the only example of a musical we'll be discussing this summer where it's just part of a media phenomenon instead of being the primary text. This is the conversation that Fio was referencing on the podcast regarding Del Toro as a new showrunner for a theoretical Twilight Zone reboot. How it's impossible for this musical to exist in a vacuum. Minor point about how Ash is Bruce Campbell, he hasn't really had a chance (nor has anyone really made the attempt) to divorce him from that. Why "Do the Necronomicon" doesn't really work. We get into a brief discussion about weird things that are integral to characters that show up late in their narratives. The difficulty in suspending disbelief in horror and how it contrasts with the difficulty in suspending disbelief in musicals. THERE'S ALWAYS AN ADDENDUM: Ephemera from the notes and timestamps: BLOOD WEDDING ASIDE From Ian: I know you just mean “we have a long aside about Blood Wedding,” but I kind of want to read this as “BLOOD WEDDING ASIDE, THERE IS SOME CONTENT ABOUT THE EVIL DEAD MUSICAL ON THIS EPISODE, REALLY.” I spent like 20 minutes last episode talking about how much I love that REPO! is “for nobody” but when talking about extreme haunted houses, I'm ranting “WHO IS THIS FOR?” Fio makes an aside to NiN, drink. 100% taking credit for "Ole Billy Shats" Music: "This is My Design" - Ian Doherty | SoundCloud | Bandcamp | “What the Fuck Was That?” - Evil Dead: Original Broadway Cast Album | YouTube | Amazon | “All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons” - Evil Dead: Original Broadway Cast Album | YouTube | Amazon | “We Will Never Die” - Evil Dead: Original Broadway Cast Album | YouTube | Amazon | http://archive.org/download/AMOT094/AMOT094.mp3
