Welcome back to another episode of Ikigai with Jennifer Shinkai. This week I am joined by Michael Walker, Founder and Artistic Director of SheepDog Theatre based in Tokyo, Japan. As a lifelong fan of live theatre I know very well the ikigai of being an audience member, but in this episode Michael shares with us what it's like to be involved in the production side of things. From acting to directing and running his own theatre company, Michael gives us a fascinating glimpse into the magic of theatre production in Japan.If you enjoyed this episode and it inspired you in some way, we'd love to hear about it and know your biggest takeaway. In this episode you'll hear:What theatre means to Michael in terms of ikigaiHow Michael got bitten by the theatre bug while visiting EdinburghHow Michael applies lessons learned from sport to live theatreAbout SheepDog Theatre's beginnings and its current transitionMichael's advice for people wanting to pursue a seemingly impossible dreamThings mentioned in the episode:THE LITTLE FELLOW By Kate HamillDirected by Michael WalkerStudio Actre, TokyoJuly 3-7, 2024Sheepdog Theatre returns to Studio Actre for its production of Kate Hamill's wickedly funny play, The Little Fellow. The story is based on the real life memoirs of 19th century courtesan Harriet Wilson, who entertained the most powerful men in England of the time. When the famous Duke of Wellington breaks a promise that would set her up for life, she seeks out retribution, not just on him, but all the men who've crossed her. The play is simultaneously violent and poignant as it explores themes of identity, societal expectations, and personal transformation.About Michael:Michael graduated from Sydney's Theatre Nepean drama program before working as a professional actor for nearly a decade. After moving to Japan, he formed Maidenagoya Productions, Chubu's first independent theatre company.In 2019 he moved to Tokyo and formed Sheepdog Theatre.

New Hampshire is not generally considered a beacon of Black culture, where the last census documented people of color to be just a fraction of the general population. But the Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire is working to prove how generations of Black Americans have informed both the Granite state's — and the nation's — history. Under the Radar explores the trials and triumphs of Harriet Wilson, Amos Fortune and Ona Judge, among other lesser known figures that are all foundational to New Hampshire's past and present. GUESTS JerriAnne Boggis, executive director of the Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire Kabria Baumgartner, associate Professor of History and Africana Studies at Northeastern University Courtney Marshall, English teacher at Phillips Exeter Academy

Today sees the launch of a £50,000 investment to support British agriculture in achieving its ambition to be net zero. The Journey to Net Zero competition has been launched by the School of Sustainable Food and Farming (SSFF) and is supported by Bradford Estates, Harper Adams University, McDonald's, Morrisons, the NFU and Trinity Ag Tech and Trinity Global Farm Pioneers. With a total prize fund of £50,000, the competition will award cash prizes of between £5,000 and £20,000 to fund scalable systems or processes which will help farmers to manage their businesses in a sustainable way. The winners will be announced at the end of this year and their progress will then be tracked and publicised by Farmers Guardian throughout 2023 to spread their learning across the industry. Announcing the competition, Prof Michael Lee, vice-chancellor of Harper Adams University, said: “SSFF at Harper Adams University is delighted to launch this competition to help our farming community realise this vital transition. “Harper Adams University, working through our new SSFF and supported by our industry partners, is committed to deliver training and research needed for a just transition to support all UK agriculture, be that through reducing methane emissions of ruminant livestock, improving soil health, or realising biodiversity improvement in mixed cropping systems. “We are working with some of the UK's brightest and most innovative farmers and we really look forward to expanding this network through the competition. We realise that the greatest take up of technology and interventions is through seeing these implemented on real farms, hence the excitement around this competition.” Harriet Wilson, agriculture and sustainable sourcing manager for McDonald's, said: “Farmers are well known for being entrepreneurial inventors, often driven by the need to adapt to situations on-farm. “Net zero and the climate challenge is probably the biggest driver of necessity to change that we will face over the next 10 years and the inventive farming mind is well placed to come up with some of the solutions.” For more information about the competition and to enter, please visit: www.fginsight.com/NetZeroCompetition See more stories here.

Harriet Jacobs, an enslaved black woman from North Carolina, wrote "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl" in 1861. You might call it a "Me Too" autobiography-- yet no one believed her story for 100 years. Two years earlier, Harriet Wilson, a free black woman who grew up as an indentured servant in the North, wrote " Our Nig: Sketches in the Life of a Free Black,": an autobiographical novel that was a call to action for the North to take more action against ending slavery in the South.
Two years have passed since the body of Harriet Wilson was found floating in the Yellowstone River. She had been seen alive only hours earlier but an autopsy shows she was a victim of violence and has sustained injuries before she ended up in the river. This week on Montana Murder Mysteries, we hear from her family as they continue searching for answers.

Elizabeth West has written an insightful study about the presence of African spirituality in the autobiographies, poetry, speeches and novels of African American women, ranging from Phylis Wheatley to Harriet Wilson to Zora Neale Hurston. West's book is titled African Spirituality in Black Women's Fiction: Threaded Visions of Memory, Community, Nature, and Being (Lexington Books, 2011). It's a powerful read! West's two blubists, literary critics Georgene Bess Montgomery and Dana Williams, do not hold back in expressing their admiration of the work . Both detail how useful the book is to readers, students, and teachers of African American studies. Montgomery writes that “while [the authors West studies] have received much critical attention and analysis, [West's] analysis is quite original and provocative.” And Williams adds that West's book “is an important first step in advancing new frameworks through which to read African American literature.” This provocative examination of how Motherland spirituality inflects, influences, and sometimes challenges and often times mingles with Anglo-Christianity as a rhetorical device for black female authors is too important to miss.
