In dieser Podcastfolge spreche ich mit Schauspielerin und Sängerin Barbara Klehr aus Berlin. Mit ihren Improvisationskünsten erschafft sie nicht nur auf der Bühne für die Zuschauer eine Insel, um sich aus dem Alltag zurückzuziehen. Auch in therapeutischen Settings, z.B. in Kliniken, gibt sie ihre Spielfreude in Gruppen weiter und ergänzt diese als Musiktherapeutin durch ihre therapeutische Haltung und Arbeitsweise. Außerdem steckt sie Menschen als Improlehrerin in Workshops und Seminaren, zb "Improsongs für MusiktherapeutInnen" an der UDK, mit ihrer Begeisterung an und die transformierenden Effekte vom Einsatz der Stimme und der Improvisation sind sofort spürbar. In der Folge dreht sich alles um die vielfältige Kraft der Improvisation und Musik, die Kombi die zum wahren Lebenselixier werden kann. Viel Vergnügen!

Today's guest is Grammy nominee, Kristen Klehr. Kristen has been a friend of mine for some times, as forms part of my monthly dinner party, which had become a recurring event in the months leading up to the pandemic. At these parties I would host a group of Los Angeles musicians to spend an evening socializing away from the gig-economy “hang.” She is one of the hardest working people I have ever met, and also a brilliant entrepreneur. She hit the ground running when the pandemic first hit, starting the Den Collective's online platform for musicians even before the official closure of the Los Angeles scene. With her hawk vision, she saw by late February what most musicians would only come to terms with by the summer of 2020. The result is that she has not simple “made the best” out of the pandemic. She has employed musicians, enabled their livelihoods, and built something meaningful and functional, when so many others with colossal credentials are still panicking and hoping people's hard paid taxes will bail the AFM's local 47's insanely mismanaged pension fund. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/artssalon/support

For decades, the American Right and Left argued about the degree to which the KGB infiltrated the U.S. political and scientific establishment. The Right said “A lot”; the Left said “Much less than you think.” Both sides did a lot of finger-pointing and, sadly, slandering. Things got very ugly. At the crux of the problem, though, was a lack of reliable information about exactly what the KGB had done and how successful (or not) they had been in recruiting Americans. That changed in the mid-1990s. The United States de-classified the results of the “Venona Project,”–an intelligence initiative that involved thesurveillanceof secret Soviet cable traffic during World War Two–and Alexander Vassiliev, a Russian journalist, made his notebooks on KGB activities in the U.S. available to researchers. For the first time, scholars such as John Earl Haynes and Harvey Klehrcould measure the success of KGB spying in the U.S. during the Cold War. The results are eye-opening, as Haynes and Klehr explain in Spies: The Rise and Fall of the KGB in America (Yale University Press, 2009). Though it’s probably unwise to speak of “winners and losers” in the debate over KGB spying in the U.S., Haynes and Klehr show that the Soviets, though often bungling, had done a pretty fair job of tapping sympathetic American Leftists and stealing American secrets. That said, they also discovered that some of those the Right had accused of spying (e.g., RobertOppenheimer) were in fact innocent. This is a fascinating book and should be read by everyone interested in Cold War espionage. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
