In the latest episode of The Horsemanship Breakthroughs Podcast, I am joined by Olivia Kelly (Towers) @towers432, who shares her incredible story of being a successful professional Grand Prix Dressage Rider to finding the world of horsemanship and biomechanics. In this episode, we discuss:   How her career as a Grand Prix dressage rider has evolved over the years leading her to find horsemanship thanks to two special but difficult horses - FJ and Wilf. The conflict she experienced whilst navigating top dressage competition and learning horsemanship. Her drastic mindset shift thanks to self-development. A huge turning point - that lead to a mental breakdown and agoraphobia and how she overcame it. Becoming a mum and how that influenced her as a person and a rider. Mum guilt and how it affects her Changes she'd like to see in equestrian sports What she's studying now and her personal horse goals going forwards Plus so much more!

We meet artist Chris Levine, a British contemporary artist renowned for his pioneering work with light and lasers. His innovative approach transcends traditional mediums, integrating technology and spirituality to create immersive art installations that challenge and expand human perception. Levine's multidisciplinary practice encompasses installation, photography, performance, fashion, music, and design. He employs lasers and sound frequencies to craft environments that engage viewers on both sensory and contemplative levels. This synthesis of technology and art positions Levine's work within a broader historical context, aligning with movements that seek to transcend the physical and delve into the metaphysical.A seminal piece in Levine's portfolio is "Lightness of Being" (2004), a holographic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This work has been lauded for its spiritual depth and technical mastery, with the National Portrait Gallery describing it as "the most evocative image of a royal by any artist." The portrait captures the ethereal quality of light and presence, reflecting Levine's ability to merge artistic expression with technological innovation. Beyond portraiture, Levine has engaged in numerous projects that bridge various artistic disciplines. In 2012, the artist partnered with Anohni and the Johnsons for their "Swanlight" performance at Radio City Music Hall, commissioned by the MoMA, New York, integrating laser with musical performance and creating a multisensory experience. Levine's site-specific large scale installations have pushed the boundaries of light art, taking diverse settings from the historic Durham Cathedral to the contemporary landscape of Hobart, Tasmania. Aligned with the traditions of public art inspiring communities, Levine's works make immersive art accessible to broader audiences. In 2021, Levine's exhibition at Houghton Hall, 528 Hz Love Frequency, featured "Molecule of Light," a monumental 25-meter-high sculpture that transformed the landscape and cemented his innovative approach to light art. This installation not only showcased the artist's technical prowess but also his ability to harmonize art with architectural space, creating a dialogue between the artwork and its environment. Through his multidisciplinary practice, Levine continues to explore the infinite possibilities of light in art, contributing to the ongoing dialogue on the intersection of technology, spirituality, and visual expression. His work stands as a testament to the transformative power of art, inviting viewers to experience the world through a lens of heightened awareness.Follow @ChrisLevine on InstagramVisit: https://chrislevine.com/ Hosted on Acast.

If you've been following Shelby Dennis (aka Milestone Equestrian / @sdeques on social media), you know she doesn't shy away from the hard conversations. She's a passionate advocate for horse welfare, uncovering the harsh realities of the horse industry, and pushing for real change. Shelby is a professional horse trainer and equine behavior consultant with over 24 years of experience across multiple disciplines—including Arabian showing, hunter/jumpers, dressage, and even racehorses. She's also taken her education seriously, working toward her Certificate of Equine Science and earning her Equine Behavior Consultant certification through IAABC. Her approach to training has evolved massively over the years, moving away from traditional punishment-based methods toward a more ethical, science-backed way of working with horses. She's an incredible voice in the equestrian space, and I have so much admiration for the work she's doing! In this episode, we dive into:

In this episode of The Horsemanship Breakthroughs Podcast, I'm joined by the incredible Kelly de Geus: an amazing horsewoman known for her ability to train horses the piaffe in a light, soft, willing, biomechanically correct way. Kelly de Geus is a dedicated horse trainer and coach from the Netherlands, who has been captivated by horses for as long as she can remember. For over a decade, Kelly's main focus has been on training horses herself, developing a specialty in teaching horses to piaffe and passage in hand. This is always a result of optimal communication and body use, and never a quick fix or trick. Having trained over 1000 horses in hand, Kelly now primarily focuses on sharing the knowledge she gained by doing so, thereby helping more people (and, in turn, more horses) feel better, improve posture and optimise performance.   I first reached out to Kelly for online lessons years ago after being mesmerised by how light and happy her horses looked in the piaffe. At the time, she didn't have online resources, but she agreed to help me through online lessons and I was blown away by her approach. She taught me that that piaffe is reflection of correct basics, and that there are a sequence of things that need to be in place before the piaffe is possible. Her values in training horses align closely to my own so I am so happy to share her voice with the horse world.   In this episode, we cover: ✨ The true purpose of piaffe as a diagnostic and gymnastic exercise (it's more than just fancy footwork and it's not a ‘circus trick'!) ✨The importance of conncection, communication, & biomechanics ✨ Common mistakes & how to know if your horse is ready to start training the piaffe ✨ The groundwork that sets the foundation for collection ✨ Adjusting her training approach to different horses  ✨The role of positive reinforcement in her training ✨Plus so much more! If you've ever dreamed of training the piaffe, this is THE episode for you!

Hey everyone! I'm so excited to share episode196, all about how to lighten things up, whether you're preparing for a mission, currently serving, or a returned missionary. As I was recording this, I couldn't help but feel the change in the seasons and the energy that comes with spring. The buds on the trees, the longer days - it just puts me in such a joyful mood. I know it can be so easy to get bogged down and take everything so seriously, whether it's our goals, our relationships, or even our missionary work. But I truly believe we can find ways to bring more levity and celebration into our lives. Things like changing up our routines, being present in the moment, and not taking ourselves too seriously can make a world of difference. And of course, remembering that Jesus Christ is the light and can bring that lightness to even our darkest times. So I hope you'll join me in embracing the joy and novelty of this season. Let's find ways to be a little more silly, a little more playful, and a whole lot lighter. I can't wait to hear how you're going to lighten things up in your own life! As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review.

If you've ever found yourself questioning what is the most ethical way to train horses, felt like an outsider when it comes to exploring different methods, and/or you're a mum trying to balance horses, life, and kids…then this episode is for you! A while ago, I received a message on Facebook from Chloe Bailey, who had joined the new free Horse Mums FB group. She sent me a Google Doc in response to a question I had posted about how people navigate the use of reinforcements. Her response was so insightful that I knew it had to be shared, so here we are! I sat down with Chloe Bailey, a welfare-concious ‘amateur' horse trainer who has, like many of us, been asking those horse welfare questions and contemplating on how we can best navigate the use of reinforcement types in training.   We spoke about: Chloe's horse journey and how she navigates the use of reinforcements in training What led her to explore positive reinforcement (R+) Overcoming guilt from past training methods and advice for others facing the same struggles Balancing idealism with practicality in training The biggest misconceptions about positive reinforcement (R+) and negative reinforcement (R-) Dealing with a shift in identity after moving away from traditional horse communities Experimenting with longer delays between the click and reward – key insights The future of R+ in the horse world – what changes Chloe hopes to see in the next 5–10 years How becoming a mother has changed her horsemanship The challenges of being a horse mum and human mum – and how she manages them Chloe's latest horsemanship breakthrough Her favourite horse books and resources- including 2 authors that are completely new to me which I'm excited to read Her personal horse goals for the future Plus so much more!

Joy is more than a fleeting emotion—it's a state of being, a choice we make daily. In a world that often feels heavy, choosing joy and lightness is an act of courage. It's not about avoiding challenges but about embracing life with playfulness, presence, and an open heart. 5 Simple Ways to Invite More Joy Into Your Life: Play More – Joy thrives in movement, laughter, and spontaneity. Dance in your kitchen, sing in the car, crack a joke, or try something new just for fun. Let Go of the Weight – We often carry unnecessary stress, expectations, and old stories that dim our joy. What would happen if you let them go? What if life could be easier? Breathe, release, and create space for lightness. Move Your Body – Practicing yoga, stretching, or simply moving with intention shifts energy and brings a sense of renewal. Physical movement creates mental and emotional clarity, helping you feel more open, expansive, and alive. Step Outside – Nature is one of the most powerful ways to reconnect with joy. Get outdoors, breathe fresh air, take a walk, feel the sun on your face. Even a few minutes in nature can elevate your mood and shift your perspective. Be Present – Joy lives in the now. Slow down. Take in the moment. Feel the rhythm of your breath, the sound of laughter, the beauty in ordinary things. The more present you are, the more joy expands. Joy isn't something we wait for—it's something we create. How will you invite more joy into your day today?

Welcome to this episode! This is a weekly assignment from my private community, On The Path and its all about how to integrate more lightness, joy and play into your life for accelerated results, more fulfillment and more FUN!   FIND TALIA Join On The Path - This is the private community!!

Plus I have a surprise personal announcement

The Weight of Gold, the Lightness of GracePoverty of spirit—what a strange, thin phrase it's become, brittle in the mouths of modern men who've never walked barefoot on cold earth, never felt the raw ache of want, not just in the belly but in the soul. To be poor in spirit isn't a matter of meek nods and saintly sighs. It's not weakness, not a bowed head for show. It's an emptiness carved out deep enough for something greater to fill. Like the hollow in the earth where the seed falls, dark and unseen, but ready. The ache isn't the end; it's the beginning—the ache is where grace rushes in.But we've grown used to surfaces, to sheen and shimmer. We're magpies, dazzled by the glitter of things that promise fullness but offer only echoes. The clink of coins, the soft glow of screens, each flickering to distract from the hollow. Gold glitters because it reflects light, but it holds none of its own. Stack it high, let it spill from chests and accounts, yet it's cold in the hand, colder in the heart. A man can die rich and still be empty, his soul an unfurnished room.The old ones knew better—the story-tellers and seers with their feet thick in mud, their nostrils seasoned by turf smoke, and their minds lit with stars. They spoke of virtues and vices not as moral checklists, but as living forces. Not metaphors, but beings, spirits woven into the warp and weft of the world. Thomas Aquinas saw this, called them agents of divine power, streaks of grace running like veins of silver through the rock of creation. They're not just habits to be picked up like good manners; they're channels, conduits for the breath of God Himself, working miracles, steadying the natural order, ensuring that His will isn't just spoken but walked in, not just whispered but stitched into the very cloth of reality.Take humility. Today it's mistaken for softness, for a kind of cowardice dressed up as politeness. But real humility is a weight—a gravity that pulls you down to the ground, roots you where you stand. It's not the sag of a broken man but the stance of one who knows where he comes from and where he's going. The proud man floats, puffed up, untethered, carried by every whim. But the humble man knows he's small, and that knowing makes him strong—an anchor in the seabed, steady while the waters swirl round. Humility isn't self-loathing; it's the lifeline which keeps our soul from being cast adrift.And virginity—what a word to drop into the middle of this age of excess. Not just bodies untouched, but hearts undivided. The modern mind scoffs, as if restraint were a relic, as if to keep something sacred were a kind of fear. But ancient peoples saw it differently. They saw it as power—not absence, but presence. The unploughed field holds the richest soil. The sky, when it's clear of clouds, reveals the deepest stars. Virginity isn't a gap; it's a vessel uncracked, ready to brim over with something holy.Modesty, too, has been gutted, turned into a checklist about hems and sleeves, rules for what should be covered rather than a wisdom about what should be treasured. But modesty isn't about hiding; it's about holding. The art of mystery is knowing that not every treasure should be laid bare. The pearl keeps its beauty because it stays hidden in the shell. The fire burns hottest when it's banked, not scattered to every wind. Modesty is the virtue that keeps the sacred, sacred—it shields the flame from the careless gust.Prudence—now there's a word that's lost its place at the table. It's been misunderstood as timidity, as fence-sitting, when really it's the sharpest of knives. Prudence is clear sight, not the squint of fear but the wide-eyed gaze that sees things as they are and as they can be. It's the captain reading the winds, knowing when to hoist the sail and when to reef it. The prudent man doesn't avoid storms; he studies the sky, knows the waters, feels the shift in the air. Prudence isn't caution—it's mastery over impulse, the wisdom to see that not every current or causeway leads to home.Sobriety—often mistaken for dullness, as if the sober man is the one missing out while the world spins in bright colors around him. But sobriety isn't the absence of joy; it's the presence of depth. It's laughter that doesn't need to be loud to be true, delight that isn't chased but dwells quietly. The sober heart isn't parched—it's steady. It drinks from a deeper well, one that doesn't run dry when the party's over.And wisdom—that old, thorny vine, twisting through time, often ignored but always there, like roots beneath the frost line. Wisdom isn't just knowing things; it's understanding the weight of them. It's the difference between holding a golden cup and knowing the cup's story—where it's been, what it's weathered, what it means. Wisdom carries the scent of the earth, the hush of old woods, the ache of truths learned the hard way. It doesn't shout. It waits.Truth, too, has been twisted, turned into a weapon or a fashion. But truth isn't a sword to be brandished; it's a mirror to be faced. Truth, ultimately, is the God-man Himself: Jesus. Not an idea, but a person. Not a theory, but a face. You meet Him first in the quiet of your own heart before you ever hold Him up to others. He doesn't argue. He is. Immutable as a mountain, tender as bread broken in trembling hands.And now… let's stand in the bright, flickering carnival of social media—our modern marketplace of vanity and outrage. Here, virtues are relics, dusty and irrelevant, wingless. Who speaks with modesty when the whole platform is designed to scream, “Look at me”? Who practices prudence in a world that rewards the quickest take, the loudest voice? Who seeks wisdom when attention spans are measured in seconds and outrage pays better than understanding?But maybe that's the point. Maybe in a world addicted to spectacle, the quiet, steady reliance on the virtues is the true rebellion. Maybe faith, humility, chastity—words that sound antiquated and out of place—are exactly what the modern soul is starving for. Virtues aren't quaint. They're radical. They're not soft—they're seismic. They shake the foundations of a world built on fleeting applause.The second Reformation, if it's coming—and I feel it rumbling beneath our feet—won't be born from cleverness or novelty. It'll rise from the old truths we've buried but never killed. It won't be a revolution of new ideas but of rediscovery, of remembering the deep roots we thought we'd outgrown. It'll come when we're not paying attention, a seed cracking open in the dark, roots first, reaching down before it reaches up.Because the nature of things doesn't change. The soul still hungers for meaning, no matter how much noise we feed it. The heart still aches for beauty, even when we drown it in distraction. The spirit still longs for God, even when we pretend we've moved beyond such things.Virtues aren't artifacts. They're anchors. They hold us fast when the tides of culture shift and swirl. They're not rules to follow but companions on the road, agents of grace, walking with us, strong as old growth trees, steady as the northern star. They're the breath of God in the bones of the world, the heartbeat beneath the noise.The rich, the powerful, the influencers with their curated lives and glossy feeds—they rise, wave-like, dramatic and loud, catching the light for a moment. But waves fall. Always. The sea remains.So in the quiet, when the screens go dark, when the noise fades, ask yourself: What remains? What endures when the applause dies, when the spotlight moves on?The answer has always been the same. It's not found in what you've gathered, but in what you've been given by God. Not in how brightly you've shone, but in how deeply you've rooted yourself in His Christ. Not in the fleeting, but in the faithful kindness of your Maker.In the end, it's not that the world has changed so much. It's that we've forgotten how to see it. The virtues were never lost. We just stopped looking. —D.

Hello all and welcome back to another SOLO episode! Today's topic is a topic that I never dive into but for some reason the universe has driven me to find the space and energy to discuss the shadow aspects of spirituality. Some of us take this path to spirituality and our paths may not always look the same. The contrast can feel so deep and dramatic where some experiences may be different than others.   In this episode we discuss:   Contrast in Spirituality  Spiritual Lessons and how we move through them   Being an empath or highly sensitive person  Lightness and darkness  And how to move through the highs and lows  See you next week!

For the Record is a conversation series where we speak with all manner of music heads — DJs, music journos, indie label captains, record shop owners, listening bar kingpins, et al — about their stories + the music that makes them. Join the Crate Coalition: https://discord.gg/sAaG6a7bv4 Roxane Métayer is a visual artist and musician based in Brussels. Her work primarily focuses on forest wildlife and flora. The living world and our connection to it play a central role in her creations. Her music combines collages of sound recordings captured in nature (forests, marshes, ponds, clearings, etc.) with various wind and string instruments, such as the violin, as well as her own voice. Through imitation, she stages fictional wildlife and flora. She has released several albums on labels such as Matière Mémoire, Kraak, Morc, Primordial Void, Wabi-Sabi Tapes, and Marionnette Label. Her album Perlée de Sève was named one of the best experimental music selections on Bandcamp.

Have you adopted scripts around the terms feminine and masculine? Today we unpack Chapter 8 of Richard's book, Eager to Love, entitled "Lightness of Heart and Firmness of Foot: The integration of Feminine and Masculine", and we ask for our listener's grace as we imperfectly grapple with a subject inherently challenging to define. The conversation delves into the integration of masculine and feminine energies within the context of spirituality, particularly through the lens of the Franciscan tradition. Richard and our hosts explore how cultural influences shape our definitions, how terms like masculine and feminine can easily be confused for gender, and the revolutionary approach of Francis of Assisi in breaking free from traditional norms. We're then joined by two incredible voices in the world of liberation psychology and contemplative spirituality, Jennifer Abe and Douglas Christie, who share their personal journeys and insights, emphasizing the interconnectedness of life and the need for openness to mystery and transformation. Jennifer Shimako Abe earned her PhD in clinical psychology from UCLA and has been on the faculty of the Department of Psychological Science at Loyola Marymount University since 1994. Her experience in Central and South America drew her to the work of Jesuit priest and social psychologist, Fr. Ignacio Martin-Baró, SJ and the field he founded, liberation psychology. The principles of liberation psychology have guided her research in different areas, including how the practice of cultural humility relates to institutional and social transformation, and how culturally rooted, community-defined evidence practices are critical for addressing mental health disparities across diverse communities. In 2024, she helped lead a commission on Student Spiritual Growth and Mental Health: Toward a Hope-Filled Future for Jesuit institutions in North America. Jennifer is currently the interim director for the Marymount Institute for Faith, Culture, and the Arts at LMU, leading efforts to strengthen the legacy of the women religious and the Marymount educational tradition at her institution. Across different leadership roles, Jennifer has been committed to working at the intersections of culture, spirituality, and justice in the context of Ignatian values and the Jesuit educational mission.  Douglas E. Christie is Professor Emeritus in the Theological Studies Department at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. He is the author of The Word in The Desert: Scripture and the Quest for Holiness in Early Christian Monasticism (Oxford, 1993), The Blue Sapphire of the Mind: Note for a Contemplative Ecology (Oxford, 2012), and The Insurmountable Darkness of Love: Mysticism, Loss and the Common Life (Oxford, 2022). He has been awarded fellowships from the Luce Foundation, the Lilly Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities. From 2013-2015 he served as Co-director of the Casa de la Mateada study abroad program in Córdoba, Argentina, a program rooted in the Jesuit vision of education for solidarity. He lives with his family in Los Angeles and is currently working on a book about the desert as spiritual landscape.   Hosted by CAC Staff: Mike Petrow, and Paul Swanson Resources: A PDF of the transcript for this episode can be found here.

Today's podcast is a personal reflection on what I've learned about balancing the deeper and lighter parts of relationships. I used to be someone who highly and intensely prioritized the profound, but I've grown to see value in the lighter, less serious parts of relationships. I share how I've evolved and see this now in this episode, which I hope you find to be valuable. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – This a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit. It's a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always light to be found. It's a celebration of the everyday heroes who remind us that true strength lies not in violence but in compassion, courage, and the unwavering commitment to protect and uplift one another...

Bonseki is a Japanese art creating miniature landscapes, on a black tray using white sand, pebbles and small rocks.  They are exquisite but temporary.  The bonseki can't be preserved and are an original, throw away art form. Speaking to audiences is like that, temporary.  Once we down tools and go home, that is the end of it.  Our reach can be transient like the bonseki art piece, that gets tossed away upon completed admiration, the lightest of touches that doesn't linger long.  Of course we hope that our sparkling witticisms, deeply pondered points and clear messages stay with the audience forever.  We want to move them to action, making changes, altering lifetime habits and generally changing their world.  In the case of a business audience, we are usually talking to a small group of individuals, so our scope of influence is rather minute.  How can we extend the reach of our message? Video is an obvious technology that allows us to capture our speech live and ourselves in full flight.  How often though, do you see speakers videoing their talks?  It is not like people are constantly giving public speeches in business. Apart from myself, I don't recall seeing anyone else doing it.  You need to tell the audience this is for your own purposes and they will not be in the shot, otherwise you have to get everyone to give you their written permission to be filmed.  You may get criticism about being a narcistic lunatic for wanting to capture yourself on video, but the only people who make that type of comment are idiots, so ignore them. With video, instead of a standard business audience of under fifty people, you can broadcast your message to thousands.  The video is also an evergreen capture which allows you to keep using the content for many years.  Video has the added benefit that you can cut it up and create snippets to take the content even further. You can have ten videos sprung from the original.  This again extends the ways in which you can use the medium.   People have different appetites for information, so some may want to feast on the whole speech, whereas others want the digest or just the part on a particular topic of most interest.  Video has two tracks – the video and audio components and these can be separated out. Very easily you can produce the audio record of the talk.  Everyone is a firm multi-tasker these days.  I sometimes hear people pontificating that you cannot multi-task, blah, blah, blah.  What nonsense. Walking, exercising, shopping and listening to audio content are typical multitasking activities.  Busy people love audio because it saves them time and allows two things to be done at once.  Now your audio content can be accessed by even more people.  Did you know that in August 2019 Google announced that in addition to text search they were employing AI to enable voice search too.  This will take a while to roll out but this is the future and audio books have recently overtaken e-book sales.  The audio track can become a podcast episode and be on any of the major podcast platforms.  Also we can produce a transcript of the talk.  There are transcribing technologies that are very good today which can reduce the cost and time of this exercise.  Now we have a text version, we can project the value of the content further.  It may go out as an email, a social media post or be reworked into a magazine article, or it may become a blog on your website.  Repurposing of content is the name of the game.  The video and or the snippets can be sent out to your email list, put up on social media and always sit there on YouTube.  The same can be done with the audio track.  Now what was a simple, ephemeral interlude in a room of fifty punters, has developed a life of its own and is being pushed out far and wide.  The same message and messenger, but a vastly different impact and duration.  If our object is to influence, then we need to make sure we are supporting the effort to give the speech with the tools available to maximise the results. This requires some planning and some expense.  But as I mentioned, we are not leaping to our feet every month giving a public speech to a business audience.  This is something we would be lucky to do two or three times a year.  When you take that into account and consider how much we can leverage what we are doing, we get a lot more bang for our buck.  We are going to give the talk anyway, so all the preparation is the same, yet the influence factor can be so much grander.

Perhaps best known for his novels Motherless Brooklyn (1999), The Fortress of Solitude (2003), and Chronic City (2009)—or, more recently, Brooklyn Crime Novel (2023)—the author, essayist, and cultural critic Jonathan Lethem could be considered the ultimate modern-day Brooklyn bard, even if today he lives in California, where he's a professor of English and creative writing at Pomona College. His most celebrated books take place in Brooklyn, or in the case of Chronic City, on Manhattan's Upper East Side, and across his genre-spanning works of fiction, his narratives capture a profound sense of the rich chaos and wonder to be found in an urban existence. Lethem is also the author of several essay collections, including the newly published Cellophane Bricks: A Life in Visual Culture (ZE Books), which compiles much of his art writing from over the years written in response to—and often in exchange for—artworks by friends, including Gregory Crewdson, Nan Goldin, and Raymond Pettibon.On the episode, Lethem discusses his passion for book dedications; the time he spent with James Brown and Bob Dylan, respectively, when profiling them for Rolling Stone in the mid-aughts; how his work is, in part, a way of dealing with and healing from his mother's death in 1978, at age 36; and why he views his writing as “fundamentally commemorative.”Special thanks to our Season 10 presenting sponsor, L'École, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Jonathan Lethem[5:35] Cellophane Bricks[5:35] High School of Music and Art[5:35] Motherless Brooklyn[5:35] The Fortress of Solitude[5:35] The Disappointment Artist[5:35] Maureen Linker[7:15] Carmen Fariña[8:26] Julia Jacquette[8:26] Rosalyn Drexler[9:08] The Great Gatsby[9:08] Brooklyn Crime Novel[10:59] Lynn Nottage[13:08] Bennington College[13:08] Bret Easton Ellis[13:08] Donna Tartt[23:41] The Collapsing Frontier[23:41] Italo Calvino[23:41] Cold War[23:41] Red Scare[23:41] J.

Molto spesso il design nasce dal dialogo tra aziende e designer, ma anche tra due visioni diverse e complementari del progetto. È il caso di Frederik De Wachter e Alberto Artesani, ovvero DWA Design Studio.Dal 2005, si occupano di una vasta gamma di progetti: dagli interni alle installazioni temporanee, dalle vetrine agli oggetti. In questa puntata, Frederik e Alberto ci raccontano come DWA riesca a conferire un'identità d'autore a ogni progetto, grazie a un dialogo continuo tra ispirazioni diverse che spaziano tra arte, grafica e una genuina passione per i materiali. Esploreremo insieme un approccio progettuale che mette al centro, come dicono loro, il “valore del design” applicato “alle grandi e alle piccole cose”.La puntata è realizzata in collaborazione con il Lake Como Design Festival.I link della puntata:- il sito di DWA Design Studio http://www.dw-a.it- Mariotti Fulget, i produttori del Silipol https://www.instagram.com/mariottifulget- La mostra "Lightness on Paper" di Edizioni Lithos al Lake Como Design Festival https://www.lakecomodesignfestival.com/it/programma/lightness-on-paper- "Le memorie di Adriano" di Marguerite Yourcenar https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorie_di_Adriano- "Libro illeggibile MN 1" di Bruno Munari https://corraini.com/it/libro-illeggibile-mn-1.html
