Podcasts about complicite

in this episode, i read from Fehinti Balogun's CAN I LIVE? which was originally presented by Complicite theatre as a digitally touring film. the text is published by TRANSMEDIA THEATRE PLAYS which I edited for Methuen Drama (2025).

This week I chatted to Olivier and Tony award winning sound designer, Gareth Fry. I met Gareth on a production in 2012, shortly after he had done the sound design for the opening ceremony of the Olympics, and he was the obvious choice when thinking of a soundie to chat with! Gareth has productions such as 'Harry Potter' on in the West End, but also does more devised work with companies like Complicite and Punchdrunk which require outside-the-box thinking.  We discussed how you put on a silent show, doing the sound design for a performance that is never the same twice and the staffing shortages facing the industry in general. It's an entertaining, reflective and amusing conversation and I hope you enjoy.

Sarah Blanc is an Irish artist based in London. She is simply magnificent: she shines with positivity, passion and enthusiasm. She s also funny as hell. I love that she describes herself as a loud mouth choreographer, performer and host. Sarah is the Artistic Director of Moxie Brawl -  a spicy inclusive dance theatre company who makes work that your mum would love (isn't that best line ever). As a freelance choreographer/movement director she has worked with companies, organisations and artists such as Complicite, Bryony Kimmings, the Royal Opera House, Perth Concert Hall and The Place amongst others. She is currently working with  Dan Daw and Xnthony Ltd.Together we talked about protecting your own peace, happiness, the love of performing and the sensation of a full on impostor syndrome of a council estate princess. 

Carlo Rovelli is no ordinary scientist. With a genius for revealing the mysteries the universe to those of us without his gifts, he is the heir to Hawking, Sagan, and Feynman; and alone among the leaders of theoretical physics, he draws as much upon art, philosophy, and myth as equations and experiments to illuminate the splendour and strangeness of reality. Now he joins one of the UK's preeminent theatre practitioners, the wildly innovative actor, director, and founder of Complicite, Simon McBurney, to explore the most exhilarating questions in science and art.

What exactly are Chinese nationals doing in Canada? We saw meddling in recent elections - with no consequence from Ottawa. The same thing when the CCP kidnapped the Michael's - also with no consequences from Ottawa.

He joins Stephen LeDrew to let us know if we should be more concerned about Chinese involvement in Canada. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

La connexion est la base du couple, mais il est loin d'être facile de la maintenir au quotidien, tout particulièrement lorsque nous sommes parents. La parentalité vient avec son lot d'adaptation et d'ajustements autant dans la répartition des tâches quotidiennes que dans la zone d'intimité du couple. L'arrivée des enfants amène un changement dans les priorités et le couple passe au second rang pour une certaine période. La communication est alors essentielle, mais d'autres facteurs comme la charge mentale, la fatigue et le manque de responsabilisation viennent parfois brouiller la communication. Il est alors important d'avoir en tête son contrat amoureux et d'avoir confiance en son ou sa partenaire pour naviguer au travers des moments de déconnexions. Meggie en discute avec Loryanne-Héllène Gauvin, sexologue et Pierre Ouellet, travailleur social à la Clinique L'Intervenant. Segment Coup de coeur La connexion est le sentiment d'être vu, d'être valorisé et d'être entendu, ce qui n'est pas toujours évident en tant que parent! Les moments de déconnexion sont tout à fait normaux dans tous les couples, mais quand se poser des questions? Où est le point de non-retour? Meggie en discute avec Marilyn Beauchemin, sexologue et psychothérapeute, qui explique que d'observer nos réactions est un excellent point de départ. Il est important de savoir qu'il n'est jamais trop tard pour consulter un professionnel. L'épisode 29, la sexualité des parents est un complément très intéressant à cet épisode.

We recorded Episode 10 with our guest artist Sarah Blanc a couple of months back, when coronavirus was something we'd barely heard of here in London and before we had any idea of the impact it would have, not only around the world but on the industry we work in. In the last week a lot has changed; most of us in the dance industry have lost our work and everything feels quite uncertain. Still, as this podcast is a place for conversations about our industry and the paths we find through it, we hope you'll still find this conversation with Sarah relevant (and entertaining!) even if in a slightly different light. Enjoy the episode and let's keep talking and moving forward together. Sarah Blanc is a multi-award winning choreographer and performer. She creates solo work and is artistic director of Moxie Brawl, a fresh all female inclusive dance theatre company. Her choreographic work has toured extensively across the world and has been seen on artists and companies such as Complicite, Bryony Kimmings, Little Red Kettle along with commissions for large outreach projects led by Candoco Dance Company, R.A.D. Perth Concert Hall and Kings Cross. She is currently working with Dan Daw and Blink Dance Theatre and is excited to start a new family work based on Punk culture, collaborating with Brigitte Aphrodite and Quiet Boy. She is one third of AnnieVickySarah—a trio of collaborators who are questioning ‘inclusive’ dance practices within creative settings. Catch her on tour this year with her solo show My Feminist Boner.Rachel Elderkin is a freelance dancer and dance writer based in London.

As the 2019 Edinburgh Festival Fringe was about to start, we spoke to two people whose work will be featured in this year’s festival. Jesse Jones is co-director of the latest devised theatre piece from Bristol-based The Wardrobe Ensemble, produced in collaboration with Complicite and Royal and Derngate Theatre in Northampton, called The Last of the Pelican Daughters. He spoke to us about the themes of the show, their devising process and about working with a company that was one of their greatest inspirations when they started working in theatre. The Last of the Pelican Daughters is at Pleasance Beyond until 25 August 2019. Daniel Bye’s previous solo shows at the Fringe and elsewhere have always been quite interactive, but for his latest piece, he will be coming to the homes of his audiences to perform his show Arthur, which is named after his a co-star, the four-and-a-half-month-old son of Daniel and director Sarah Punshon.

For years, I have been dreaming about emigrating to Europe, where so many of my favorite theatre companies are based. I fell in love with Cheek by Jowel when I saw their (all male) As You Like It. I idolized Improbable and their three man Artistic Directorship. I drooled over Complicite – and the one man genius at the center of it. Oh, how I wanted to move to England so I could make work like my heroes!

Actor/director Simon McBurney of Theatre de Complicite describes how John Berger's "And Our Faces, My Heart, Brief as Photos" plays with ideas of connection, memory, narrative and mortality which are essential to his theatrical work. "Berger digs in the vulnerable earth of human experience, and joins the fragments he uncovers with an eye as sure as an astronomer, a gesture as gentle as a carpenter," McBurney says. This slim work has been a point of reference for his art and his life. Producer: Smita Patel.

Nitin Sawhney is a multi award-winning musician, producer and composer. With nine studio albums to his credit, he has collaborated with the likes of Paul McCartney, Joss Stone, Sting and Nelson Mandela, and has composed over 40 film and television scores, including for the BBC series Human Planet. In his own work he combines the musical traditions of East and West, and composes for a wide variety of different art forms. He has collaborated with the legendary theatre company Complicite, the dancer and choreographer Akram Khan and more recently has written scores for video games. His passion for diversity is reflected in his musical choices which include Ravi Shankar's Kafi Holi, flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucia's Guajiras de Lucia and Debussy's ground-breaking Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune. As well as being a composer, Nitin is a virtuoso performer on both guitar and piano and we hear the pieces he practises every morning, including Chopin's Fantaisie Impromptu and Bach's Keyboard Concerto No.1 in D minor. This year Nitin Sawhney turns 50 and after a period of personal loss, including the death of Ravi Shankar, he discusses the impact this has had on his life and work. Producer: Hilary Dunn.

Kirsty Young's castaway is the actor, writer and director Simon McBurney. It's 30 years since he set up the ground-breaking theatre company Complicite. It brought extraordinary physical deftness to the stage and its productions won every plaudit going - from an armful of Olivier awards to the Perrier prize for comedy. His mainstream credits range from TV roles in the Vicar of Dibley and Rev, to screen credits for The Last King of Scotland and Harry Potter. On stage, he's directed Katie Holmes and Al Pacino to critical acclaim in New York. Of his unconventional directing style, he admits: "Some people have said, it's a bit like going into the jungle with some mad explorer - who everybody knows doesn't have any idea where he's going - but somehow he gives people some sort of confidence to keep on going." Producer: Leanne Buckle.
