Guest Heidi Boisvert believes that our bodies are archives of stories and if we can't get those stories out, the whole fabric of society will break down. When she worked in tech, addressing social issues, she had a crisis of faith and figured that bringing people into physical spaces and working with the body might be one way of mitigating deleterious effects of technology. Now, she's creating a media biogenome.

In today's episode Caroline talks with award winning performer, theatre maker and teacher Peta Lily about how an horrific and hilarious incident she witnessed during a play in the 1980s triggered her ground-breaking work in the genre of Dark Clown.  We look at the similarities and differences between the Red Nose and Dark Clown. As we examine the notion of 'troubled laughter', Peta highlights an integral factor of Dark Clown work - we are not laughing at suffering, but laughing in the presence of suffering. Peta talks about her career in Physical Theatre and reflects on how her early nervousness has proved to have been an asset in her journey of discovery in her work.  Please join them as they laugh through a different lens. KEY TAKEAWAYS Clowns don´t mask their vulnerabilities. They express their sadness, discontinuation, and surprise in a way we don´t in everyday life. As humans we have the ability to laugh in spite of ourselves. Even when we feel bad if we start to laugh, we often just can´t stop. Many of us like dark comedy. It acts as a release for the audience and the performer. Being able to laugh in the presence of suffering is empowering. What makes us laugh is very individual. BEST MOMENTS ‘The clown wears their vulnerability as their outer self, ´‘Also, the dark clown player gets to channel emotions.'‘That expression of troubled laughter is fantastic.' Experience the exciting Clown & Dark Clown workshop on 8 & 9th May 2023. It is open to beginners as well as those with some previous experience.  Go here for more information and to book: https://www.petalily.com/courses.html ABOUT THE GUEST Peta Lily is an award-winning performer/theatre maker and Workshop Leader. She was an early leader in the physical theatre movement and has toured her work internationally. Peta is best known for developing the new genre of Dark Clown: which extends the possibilities of clown to deal with challenging subjects and ‘Marginalised Emotions'. Her paper The Comedy of Terrors – Dark Clown & Enforced Performance was delivered at the Bath Spa University and her work is cited in Jon Davison's Clown (Readings in Theatre Practice) Palgrave MacMillan 2013. Award-winning documentary maker Robert Golden made a short film about her work - Peta Lily's Dark Clown: Taking Laughter to the Limits. EPISODE RESOURCESPeta Lily on Social Media:Twitter: @peta_lily          Instagram: petalily   Peta Lily on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/peta.lily/Peta Lily Shows on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063201700223Peta Lily Theatre Workshops on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/73969775207Website & theatre blog: https://www.petalily.comPeta Lily Company on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOgEB33xdaSrP-MW7IGJM6g Experience the exciting Clown & Dark Clown course in person in London: https://www.petalily.com/courses.html ABOUT THE HOSTCaroline Partridge is a unique and creative individual.

How we perceive the world is rooted in everything that has influenced us throughout our lives, emotionally and psychologically. We become the sum of our parts and each of us has our own unique view of the world. 'Vision' truly is an act of interpretation. In this podcast series through fascinating conversations, I set about trying to understand how we form our perceptions, view different perspectives, and examine how perception has influenced, inspired, or hindered the lives of each of my unique guests.

Also, Richard Jordan drops by to share the story of an actor who once starred in two productions simultaneously at London's National Theatre and we're joined by the author of Verdi, Opera, Women, Susan Rutherford, to discuss what women in the 19th century might have thought of La Traviata's ill-fated courtesan protagonist, Violetta.

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2022 series Louise and Elaine chat Ania Upstill over Zoom. A clown bringing their show Transhumance to the Festival for the first time. We chat moving from directing to clowning and the gender binary. Transhumance Take a surreal journey through the landscape of gender with Transhumance, winner of a Best Weekly Award for Circus and Physical Theatre at Adelaide Fringe in 2020. Award-winning clown Ania Upstill playfully explores what it means to be a trans human—or any human—in a society where the gender binary often blocks us from the richness of human experience. Join Ania Upstill (they/them), a NYC-based theatre and circus artist for a heartfelt, physical exploration of gender norms. As a genderqueer and queer performer, the American Kiwi Upstill is excited to bring Transhumance to the largest theatre festival in the world. “I think of Edinburgh as the great art hub of humanity,” says Upstill, “and I know we will find an audience that needs, wants, and will enjoy this journey.” For Upstill, clowning brings buoyancy, joy and fun into the heated conversations around trans and nonbinary identities. ‘I think often we only hear about how difficult it is to be part of a gender minority, for instance having to explain your pronouns all the time. And yes, it is hard,' says Upstill, ‘but it is also beautiful and exciting to be able to play with all the performative aspects of gender and find what feels right to you.' Transhumance comes to the Fringe laden with praise from America and New Zealand: 'A work of joy and playfulness – whimsical, witty and replete with wonder' (TheatreView.org.nz). 'Manages to be both a deeply personal story of self-identification and a universal experience of gender paradigms' (TheatreScenes.co.nz). Ania Upstill started identifying as genderqueer and using they/them pronouns in 2018. ‘I started seeing more and more content about non-binary identities online. I remember I started to sob uncontrollably because I realized, ‘oh, that's me too'. I think we often overlook how a binary concept of gender isn't really fun for anyone, including people who identify as cisgender.' The title of the show, Transhumance, happens to also be an agricultural term meaning to move sheep – or other livestock – across a landscape in a migratory pattern. For Upstill, this reflects how gender is both a limitless landscape and an intriguing place to explore. Thinkery & Verse co-artistic director JM Meyer also observes that ‘the multiple meanings of transhumance also demonstrate both the jolly usefulness of prefix ‘trans,' and the pleasure of slant rhyming with ‘romance.'

Authenticity - a trait valued by all, yet understood only by a few. It is the importance of being authentic that our guest for today's episode, Sheena Khalid, stresses. Sheena is a theatre director, writer, actor, and drama facilitator. She is a founding member of the theatre company - Patchworks Ensemble and trained in Physical Theatre at the London International School of Performing Arts. Key highlights: Mistakes and errors make us interesting, not perfection Think outside of yourself Don't try to be someone you aren't as a communicator Being a keen listener is as important as being a good speaker Good communication requires one to disconnect from everything else and be present in the moment Let every mistake be an opportunity to learn and grow instead Being authentic is sometimes accepting that you don't know all the answers Do what you haven't done before, it's not about being the best but about speaking your truth Why should you listen to this podcast: Being honest and acknowledging yourself is the first step in the direction of self-awareness. It is the acceptance of yourself that this conversation with Sheena will implore you to have. Discovering your strengths and weaknesses will become your guide on the journey to your #SecondAct. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/iiact/message

In this episode, I sit down with a fantastic Hip Hop dancer who I now call a friend. This is the second conversation we had. We share ideas on philosophy, the art of seduction, the 48 laws of power and dealing with the grief that comes from the loss of a father. BioMy name is Kimberly ‘Kim Mkhush' Mkhushulwa and I am a 27 year old dancer and performer. I matriculated at St Mary's and graduated at Rhodes University in 2017. I have been a performer since I was even in Primary School. I grew up in an environment with children from diverse schools and backgrounds, and we used to dance and perform for fun. When I got to High School I made and grew up with friends from Artistic schools such as The National School it the Arts (NSA), on top of having studied Drama at my own school. Luckily for me, even though I went to a private school, I also took the bus. This enabled me to make friends that danced hip hop at their various schools. Through this, I was introduced to Dance Crews and the Hip Hop Culture whilst being introduced to Physical Theatre in high school. I learnt a lot of the technical aspects of dance and physical expression (with practicals) whilst having learnt the skills involved in Hip Hop Dance, such as pop & lock which I enjoyed most. I then ended up auditioning for a dance crew in grade 9 because I had friends on the bus that would always talk about being in a dance crew and all the events they had been a part of. This intrigued me so I decided to try it out. Once I had made it, I had to learn how to dance like the other male dancers in the crew ‘Eclipse' because our form of dance required everyone to dress and dance identically at the various dance competitions and events we performed at. I was the only female on the crew at that time. This is how I learnt how to pop properly and even though it took hours and hours of practice, I eventually got it thanks to the support of my other crew members. While this was happening, I was part of the newly formed St Mary's Dance Crew which my Drama teacher had started. She introduced us to Physical Theatre and that was when I learnt not only how to Pop & Lock, but how to be expressive at the same time. These two worlds earned me my colors in Dance and further motivated me to take Drama as one of my majors in university. I knew that Rhodes Drama Department had a strong Physical Theatre culture and was drawn to it. I also played roles in various Drama Acting and choreography pieces, including The National Arts Festival, which was quite an accomplishment since it was my 1st Year of university. I then showcased my talent when I became Entertainment Rep for my Residence and that is when my choreography career took off. I started being asked to choreograph and perform at various events at the University for different student life and student society events to name a few. Once I had graduated, I started working for a childhood friend who had started his own Talent Agency. I choreographed and performed for some of his projects, including the Joburg Carnival, and became an Artistic Manager the agency. I then started working in corporate but have been dancing on the side.

In this episode I interview Richard Hayhow of the Open Theatre Company about his work in Non-verbal Physical Theatre with Music. We explore the work of actors with learning disabilities and the importance of inclusion at all stages of the artistic process. We talk about how engagement in this work is transformational, both for the actors, as well as those participating in it in support roles or as audience members. Richard and I examine the values of the work, discussing why the work matters and the gains to be had from recognising the actors as actors with talents and things to communicate, rather than focussing on their disabilities. We take a look back at our work together in promoting the art form, where I was a member of the Trustee Board of the Open Theatre Company and Richard was one of its first Directors. We then look forward to what the future holds and the growing reputation of the Company which is keen to develop its international presence and to collaborate with others. Richard has been Director of Open Theatre for 30 years. Open Theatre aims to place the creativity of young people with learning disabilities at the centre of the cultural life of Birmingham and Coventry. As part of this aim, Richard set up The Shysters, a company of actors with learning disabilities, in partnership with the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry in 1997. Through the development of a unique nonverbal physical theatre practice, the company gained a national reputation for the ground-breaking quality of its performance work ‘on the borderlines of theatre, dance and mime'. For the past fifteen years Richard has been forging long-term creative collaborations with special schools in the West Midlands region, to examine and maximise the impact the nonverbal physical theatre practice can have on children's learning and development and on young people's transition into adult life. Open Theatre currently has a team of 12 practitioners working all year round in 18 special schools. In 2018, Open Theatre became an Arts Council National Portfolio Organisation with ambitious plans to support the emergence of a significant number of professional artists with learning disabilities over the next four years through appropriate training provision and landmark production work. Open Theatre have just co-produced The Twisted Tale of Hansel and Gretel in partnership with Birmingham Hippodrome and MBD, featuring an integrated cast of actors with and without learning disabilities.

Join your host Emma and her Clown Barbara talking all things Burlesque.  What is Burlesque and how can it change all of us?  How can Burlesque show us who we really are?  How can Barbara get involved with knitting and a burlesque show?  What can we all learn from Burlesque and being ourselves and much much more Follow Cat: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cat.lacohie Instagram: @CatLaCohie @VixenDeVille LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/cat-lacohie Twitter: @CatLaCohie @VixenDeVille_ About Cat: Cat LaCohie is multi-talented LA based British actress, live event host and award winning variety Burlesque performer, “Vixen DeVille” specializing in fire-eating, glass-walking, aerial hoop, and magic. In addition to multiple appearances on TV’s, “Masters Of Illusion”, her solo stage show “Vixen DeVille Revealed” toured the US in 2019 picking up multiple awards and is currently being produced as a TV special. The world of burlesque has helped Cat to walk around the world unapologetically owning both her successes and her shortcomings and her passion is to help others to do the same. In addition to performing for audiences, Cat also teaches her craft to students all over the world, in person and online, both privately 1-on-1and in supportive group workshop environments. Her format is designed for bodies of ALL ages, abilities, shapes and sizes, to break free of others’ restrictive and damaging labels and, to instead, access their inner badass,                       …their inner goddess,                                             …their inner Vixen!

Whether gaining to confidence to step out onto the Burlesque stage, or out of your own front door, this work provides the individual a new found freedom of self-expression, without shame or judgement. It provides the ability to be seen, to eradicate insecurities and in come cases even prove doctors wrong.

Episode Notes Welcome to Circle of Willis, my podcast about science and the scientists who do it, brought to you by generous folks at VQR, the Center for Media and Citizenship, and WTJU Radio at the University of Virginia here in Charlottesville. Folks, sometimes the chaos swirls and the lights dim. Sometimes things go very wrong and we don’t know what to do with ourselves. Sometimes those who’ve dedicated their lives to helping don’t know how to help, or, more likely these days, they don’t have the tools they need. And despite what you may have heard, laughter is not the best medicine. But in Part 2 of our conversation, my guest TIM CUNNINGHAM is here to remind us that sometimes laughter is the only medicine available, that laughter can catalyze the kinds of social connections we need most during our times of trial, and that laughter might even make those medicines that are the best more effective. Maybe that’s why Pablo Neruda once wrote, Take bread away from me, if you wish Take air away But do not take from me your laughter Humor has an almost mystical power to make life a little better, sometimes a LOT better. That’s why, in addition to being the VP for Practice and Innovation at Emory Healthcare, a Registered Nurse, and a Dr. of Public Health, Tim Cunningham is a professional Clown, trained at the Dell'Arte International School of Physical Theatre up in Northern California, and a board member of CLOWNS WITHOUT BORDERS, which you are going to hear all about in just a few moments. Tim is going to tell us how being a professional clown has informed his work, world view, and personal life, and how all of that converged in all too real moments of life and death in a time of pandemic. ———————— Folks, the Music on Circle of Willis is written and performed by TOM STAUFFER and his band THE NEW DRAKES… For information about how to purchase their music, check the “Music if Circle of Willis” page at circleofwillispodcast.com Circle of Willis is Produced by SIVA VAIDHYANATHAN and brought to you by VQR and the Center for Media and Citizenship at the University of Virginia… And that Circle of Willis is a member of the VIRGINIA AUDIO COLLECTIVE!

I dette afsnit taler jeg med Rolando fra Qbiccircle, som underviser i Impro teater/comedy. Rolando ser ikke bare impro teater/comedy som en måde til at blive bedre på en scene, men også som en måde at blive et endnu bedre menneske. Vi taler om Rolandos unikke filosofi omkring improvisation. Samtalen tager udgangspunkt i nogle af de retningslinjer der findes i impro teater: 1) Der findes ikke fejl, fejl er gaver 2) Undgå at døm dig selv og undgå at døm andre 3) Make things valuable 4) Ha´det sjovt Om Rolando Yunquera: Rolando er uddannet på Dell'Arte School of Physical Theatre, ICC Theatre og på IO Chicago. Han har lavet et hav af shows og optrædener som skuespiller og improvisator. Hans undervisning er baseret primært på Improv Comedy Theatre, men også inspireret af klassiske drama/teatertekniker. Rolandos energi smitter af! Han er en passioneret lærer, der motiverer, støtter og muligvis får dig til at klaske dig på lårene af grin.

https://www.tanyadrewery.com/ (Tanya Drewery) holds a BPA in Circus and Physical Theatre and was a solo and group performer of circus arts and physical theatre across New Zealand, Germany, Canada, USA and Japan from 2005 – 2016. Since 2011 her focus has been moving from live performance to film and television. Tanya works as a stuntwoman, motion capture action performer, puppeteer and actor and has appeared in films such as Planet of the Apes and Wonder Woman and will be featuring in the upcoming Avatar sequel. In 2016 Tanya decided to pursue study in Social Work and recently completed her Masters of Social Work. This fitted with her desire to contribute more to community and society. She's passionate about the work that she does, which includes, among other things, advocating for the rights, health, safety and wellbeing of sex workers in Aotearoa. Her career has taken her so far from hula hooping clown to fighting for human rights. "One of my proudest career moments was when I was in my first film, Cirque de Soleil: Worlds Away. My mum and my nana flew to Wellington and all three of us sat down in the picture theater and watched my huge face, the size of the movie screen, hammering nails into my nose. It was hilarious."

Welcome to Arts Forward MKE, a new podcast out of the https://www.imaginemke.org/ (Imagine MKE) podcast shop. Each week on this show, we’ll sit down with an artist or arts administrator in Milwaukee and dive deep into their story – asking them about their Milwaukee origin, their early memories that sparked a love of the arts, their present work, and their vision for the future of the city. On today’s episode, we speak with Brian Rott, Executive Director of https://www.quasimondo.org/ (Quasimondo Physical Theatre). A quick note: the first handful of episodes in this podcast, this one included, were recorded before the pandemic in March – so that’s why you won’t hear any mention of its impact.

In this podcast Adam Robert Lewis talks with Niv Petel, Israeli born actor and voice over artist. Niv has worked extensively in Israel in all mediums. Niv gravitates towards physical theatre and has explored this form in his own one man show. Niv relocated to Britain to train in Musical Theatre to broaden his skillset. Here, he experienced a different industry from his native country. Following this, Niv created a one man show called 'Knock Knock!', a play about the relationship between Mother, Son and War and the conflicts and trials faced within the Israeli culture. ‘Knock Knock!’ has gone on to win critical acclaim and the production has travelled from London, New York, Tel Aviv and beyond. Niv is living proof that actors can and must take risks and create their own opportunities. In a world where many performers now have plenty of time on their hands, why not sit down and create the role you've always wanted.If you want to find out more about Knock Knock!

Constantin Hochkeppel studierte an der Folkwang Universität der Künste in Essen "Physical Theatre". Was genau das ist, lässt sich nicht so einfach definieren. Zusammen mit Toni wagt Constantin den Versuch einer Definition und erklärt, dass "Physcial Theatre" mehr ist als nur Tanz. Constantin ist Theatermacher, Choreopgraph und entwickelt zusammen mit seiner Company KimChi Brot auch eigene Stücke. Auf Basis der zweiten KimChi-Produktion "The Perfect Macht" diskutieren die beiden außerdem, wie man eigentlich Theaterstück konzipiert, wer Mitspracherecht hat und was eine Produktion kostet. "The Perfect Match" erzählt die Geschichte unserer KI-gesteuerten Welt. Künstliche Intelligenz bestimmt unser Alltags- und Berufsleben und die Mitglieder von KimChi Brot haben diese Thematik in ihrem aktuellen Stück aufgearbeitet. Außerdem erzählt Constantin wie es sich anfühlt, bevor er den ersten Schritt auf die Bühne geht und die beiden klären ob wirklich alle Schauspieler*innen und Darsteller*innen extrovertiert sind. Für ihn ist es Glück von seiner Kunst leben zu können. Hört rein! Weitere Infos: www.ausgangpodcast.de www.constantinhochkeppel.de www.kimchibrot.de . . . . . .

This is the second of the two-part interview with Ian Golding of GLOW Training, a communications and impact training company. In the last episode with Ian, we talked about how the business should act around their customers and prospects – we tackled how a company’s vision, mission, objectives, and goals should be well understood and embodied from the top management down to the frontlines. In this episode, we dig down to the individuals, you. How do you act around your customers? And how does your behaviour affect their attitude towards the business, and their purchase? In this episode, we talked about the importance of personal impact and how the “YOU” from the inside may look different from the outside -- how others see you may not be necessarily the same as how you want to be seen. Ian also shared that sometimes we create a barrier and turn people off unintentionally, so as entrepreneurs, we have to understand the power of listening. He also talked about the importance of working on our behaviour and develop empathy because it is a very vital ability in sales. Ian also shares the top behaviour which embodies empathy such as talking less, working harder to shut up, and nodding when people are talking. We also discussed one of the top clangers that sales people do when it comes to body language, and it is the failure to maintain eye contact. We also touched on the importance of feedback in assessing our behaviours. Ian also shared a common problem when it comes to first impressions -- putting all focus, concentration, and thoughts into WHAT they are going to say, and none to HOW they are going to say it.  Lastly, Ian shares 3 top things that someone in business can do to help themselves in terms of conveying themselves to others: Identify the values that you want to portray in any occasion that you are in. How do you want to come across to others? Work harder on the message that your behaviour is sending. Eye contact – it is very important. Golden Nugget Round Question 1 – What would you tell your 25 Year Old Self? Learn how to make decisions. Question 2 – What would you lecture at University today? I would be a lecturer in Acting, specifically Physical Theatre. Question 3 – What was your biggest investment or financial decision? Investing in property. Guest Details To contact Ian, feel free to e-mail him at info@glowtraining.net Links and Resources http://www.glowtraining.net/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/ian-golding1971/ Quotes If you are doing a presentation and is standing in front of everyone, the last thing you want to do is stand there and NOT know what to say. – Ian Golding We spend so much energy on the content, remembering the content, making sure that we are going to say the content exactly how we practiced it in our heads, BUT got no thought or concentration on HOW we are going to say it. – Ian Golding Actors always match the physicality that they use to the size of the room that they are talking to. – Ian Golding

Visit virtualnotdistant.com Pilar Orti talks to Emily Klein and Jason Morwick about Workshift, how organisations can transition to a flexible way of working. "Workshift provides a detailed blueprint for organizations transitioning into the virtual workplace where employees are always connected, and work is no longer a destination." Show Notes Pilar is taking part of NaNoWriMo again! (She mentions her books Visibility in Virtual Teams, Thriving through Change, The A to Z of Spanish Culture and Your Handy Companion to Devising and Physical Theatre.) Here's the link to the Blab on 26th November 7pm GMT with Lisette, where we will talk about virtual teams: https://blab.im/pilar-orti-working-in-virtual-teams Workshift, the book: Who, why Workshift: The stages.How does an organisation know whether they’ve skipped a stage and are trying to make the change without laying down the foundations? How Workshift can happen “au naturel” (organic employee driven). (Mobile phones, people working on trains.) How do we know what to measure to make sure that Workshift is working – at the organisational level, at the team level. When or why does Workshift fail?When do we know we’ve successfully made the shift? “Middle manager resistant to telework.” Is this still the case? Three key scheduling challenges: rigidity, unpredictability, instability. Challenges for employees: Balance between those in the office and those remote, or those doing both. Career progression, finding new opportunities: facetime – expected, extracurricular. How things have changed since 2012 when Workshift was written?

How do you find stimulus for a piece, explore that stimulus physically, and (most importantly) how to fail when you create. “If you don't fail you don't discover.” Show Notes devisingandphysicaltheatre.com @devisingTheatre #decourse daniellehindtsdevising.blogspot.co.uk DV8 Frantic Assembly: A guide to devising (excerpt) Episode Transcript Welcome to TFP – The Theatrefolk Podcast – the place to be for Drama teachers, Drama students, and theatre educators everywhere. I'm Lindsay Price, resident playwright for Theatrefolk. Hello, I hope you're well. Thanks for listening. Welcome to Episode 110! You can find all the links for this episode at theatrefolk.com/episode110. How are you this week? Are you getting back into the school swing? I've been out of school for twenty years, twenty-plus years, and, you know, I still get a little knot in the pit of my stomach come September. You know, that back-to-school worry. How about you? Are you knotted? Maybe you're in a panic about grades? Or are you one of those types who just eases into the school year nice and slow? Because there's lots of time to get things right, right? Maybe? You know, getting something wrong in the classroom, especially the Drama classroom, is a tough thing for students to overcome – that it's not a bad thing, that getting something wrong is exploratory – because, for them, if you get something wrong, if you fail, that means you get a bad grade. But, to fail in Drama when you're trying something out, maybe if you're creating a movement piece or creating a new script or doing an improv, if you mess something up, instead of going, “Uh, that was wrong,” and stopping, it's an opportunity to explore a different path, right? And I think, particularly if you're creating a play in your class, it's important to celebrate failure and to encourage students to, “Okay, try again.” And this is just one of the things I talk about with Pilar Orti in this week's podcast about devising theatre. It's a great talk so I think we should get right to it. Lindsay: All right. Hello, everybody! I am thrilled today to have a guest on the podcast. I am speaking to Pilar Orti. Hello, Pilar! Pilar: Hello, Lindsay! Lindsay: How are you? Pilar: Great to meet you. Lindsay: Yeah, great to meet you, too! Well, and it's a very special sort of across the pond kind of conversation we're having here. Tell everybody where you are in the world right now. Pilar: I'm in London. Lindsay: Are you from there originally? Where do you come from? Pilar: Well, I was born in Madrid many years ago, but I came to the UK in 1990 and have been here since then so this is my home now. Lindsay: Awesome. Okay. So, we're talking today with Pilar. She has a book out, a second edition of a book called Your Handy Companion to Devising and Physical Theatre, and these are two things which I think can go either way in the high school classroom, can't they? Pilar: Yeah. Lindsay: Yeah Pilar: Yes, unfortunately. Lindsay: They can go very, very well or they can go pretty wrong. So, we want to focus on how to make these particular two topics, we want to make them go well. Pilar: Yes. Lindsay: Let's just talk a bit about your background. So, where did your interest in devising theatre come from? Do you have a background in it? Pilar: I think I blame my mother. Lindsay: “I blame my mother for devising theatre.” Pilar: Yes, for the good things in my life. I grew up in Spain, like I said. My mother used to take me to.very theatrical stuff. Instead of taking me to traditional plays, she would take me to some of the more alternative scene and she enrolled me in mime classes, movement classes, which were always cancelled really quickly because my friend and I were the only ones attending.

In this episode, I chat with 4 of the people involved in Chaucer: Hold Up Your Tale - some are veterans of the Fringe, and some are here for the first time! We talk about their show, their Fringe experiences, and who they want to meet!

Investigating teenage years, troubles and triumphs through the medium of circus, experienced young performer Jordan Kelly and his team have created No Such Thing As Normal, a show which has already been really well received in Melbourne.

Dancer Cloe Fournier has created a dance and physical theatre work for the 2012 Adelaide Fringe Festival. We discuss the story behind the dance, and some of Cloe's inspirations.

Snittet säger hej då! I och med att det nya programmet Kosmo startar nu på lördag kl. 16.03 så stuvar vi om Kulturredaktionens tablå och utbud. Och det sista Snittet för ett långt tag sänds den 5e och 6e maj. I det sista programmet gräver Elin Claeson i arkivet och gör nedslag bland de röster som hörts i programmet under åren. I poddradioarkivet finns guldkorn av vitt skilda slag. De program som ni hör utdrag ur är: Hur kan man vara en röd kvadrat, från november 2008 DV 8 Physical Theatre, från november 2008 Annan konst, från april 2009 Myten, konsten och nationen (om Kalevala), från mars 2009 Evelyn Glennie, från maj 2009 Sedan besöker Karsten Thurfjell utställningen Building Blocks på Färgfabriken i Stockholm. Barn i åldrarna 5-16 år har fått beställa nio byggnader, dessa har sedan ritats av svenska och internationella arkitektkontor och förverkligas nu på konsthallens golv!

There is grace for us to be less than perfect. As we live in that grace with humility we are surrounded by God's Spirit and we slowly become more like HIM.

Snittet: DV8 Physical Theatre Onsdagen den 19 november kl 14.03 och 20/11 kl 18.15 Jag gillar inte dans, säger Lloyd Newson. Eller snarare jag gillar inte dans som bara är tomma arabesker utan innehåll. Lloyd Newson är koreograf och utbildad psykolog och hans aversion mot dans har inte hindrat honom och hans kompani DV8 Physical Theatre från att bli ett av de intressantaste kompanierna i världen, som dessutom har producerat de bästa dansfilmerna. Ämnena kretsar kring tolerans eller bristen på tolerans i vårt samhälle, om homofobi och rädslan för allt som faller utanför normalitetsnormen. Det är ofta drastiskt, fysiskt utmanande och bitvis ganska roligt, även om skrattet kan fastna i halsen. I veckan är det Sverigepremiär för DV8s nya hyllade föreställning To Be Straight With You. En föreställning som bygger på 85 djupintervjuer inom fältet homofobi och religiös extremism. Hur har det kunnat bli accepterat att i guds namn till och med tala om att mörda andra människor för att m
