Ein Paar nimmt Abschied für immer. Muss Abschied nehmen, denn die schwerkranke Frau entscheidet sich für Exit. Spät haben sie sich kennen gelernt, acht Jahre waren sie zusammen, nun fragen sie sich: Kennen wir uns wirklich? Fünf Tage bleiben ihnen, um noch einmal von vorne anzufangen – im Erzählen. Wer das Hörspiel am Radio hören will: Freitag, 21.02.2025, 20.00 Uhr, Radio SRF 1 Erwin Koch hat sich schon immer für mögliche und unmögliche Liebesgeschichten interessiert. «Fünf beste Tage» ist ein fiktiver Text, der zusammengesetzt ist aus solchen Geschichten – wahren Geschichten, die er im Lauf von Recherchen erfahren hat. Sie verdichten sich in der Hörspiel-Inszenierung des Schweizer Klangkünstlers Stefan Weber zu einer intensiven Auseinandersetzung mit der Frage, was ein Leben ausmacht, vom Ende her betrachtet. Und wie das Erzählen dabei helfen kann, Abschied zu nehmen. Vielleicht sogar ein Erzählen wie im Kino, ohne Rücksicht auf endgültige Wahrheiten, nach dem Motto: «Du lügst hinreissend!» «Fünf beste Tage» ist von der «Deutschen Akademie der Darstellenden Künste» im Februar 2024 zum «Hörspiel des Monats» erkoren worden. Beim Hörspielfestival «Grand Prix Nova» in Bukarest belegte die SRF-Produktion ebenso den zweiten Platz wie beim renommierten «Prix Europa» in Berlin, wo sie mit einer «Special Commendation» ausgezeichnet wurde.

In the spring of 2021, award-winning dancer and choreographer Rosie Kay performed a solo show to wide acclaim. The show included three pieces addressing women's experiences in life and dance, with the final piece, “Adult Female Dancer,” serving as Rosie's memoir. Just a few months later, she resigned from her own dance company following accusations of transphobia. In the fall of 2021, Rosie invited dancers from her production of “Romeo + Juliet” to her home for a dinner party. A late-night conversation about an upcoming production of Virginia Woolf's “Orlando” revealed Rosie's support for women-only spaces and her acknowledgment that biological sex is real. A handful of her dancers reported this “transphobia” to the Rosie Kay Dance Company board of directors, initiating investigations. The board wanted Rosie to be “re-educated.” Rosie resigned from the company she ran for nearly 20 years and launched a new company, K2CO. She only employs dancers who are committed to freedom of speech and artistic expression. Rosie Kay graduated from the London Contemporary Dance School in 1998. She performed internationally and founded The Rosie Kay Dance Company in 2004. She was the Leverhulme Artist in Residence at the University of Oxford, the choreographer for the 2018 Commonwealth Games, and received Special Commendation from the Royal Society of Public Health. Awards from Stuttgart's International Solo Dance Festival, The Queen, and Bonnie Bird are among her many accolades. Her work has been featured on stage and in film.

Lisa is joined by Rebecca Fogg who talks about her book, Beautiful Trauma: An Explosion, an Obsession, and a New Lease on Life.  In 2008, Rebecca Fogg walked away from her New York life and career in financial services to move to London, where she co-founded the Institute of Pre-Hospital Care at London's Air Ambulance and continues to work, write and learn Scottish fiddle. BEAUTIFUL TRAUMA: An Explosion, an Obsession, and a New Lease on Life (Penguin Random House; Avery), is Fogg's first book. It was awarded the 2019 Royal Society of Literature Giles St. Aubyn Judge's Special Commendation for work in progress. BOOK DESCRIPTION:A compelling account of surviving a freak accident, and a fascinating exploration of the science of trauma and recovery.    Late one night, while Rebecca Fogg was alone in her apartment, her hand was partially amputated in an explosion. Quick thinking saved her life, but the journey to recovery would be a slow one. As the doctors rebuilt her hand, Rebecca (who also survived 9/11) began rebuilding her sense of self by studying the physical and psychological process of recovery.   Interspersing the personal with the medical, Rebecca charts her year of rehabilitation, touching on the marvelously adaptable anatomy of the hand; how the brain's fight-or-flight mechanism enables us to react instantly to danger; and why trauma causes some people to develop PTSD and gives others a whole new lease on life.   Told with emotional and intellectual clarity, Beautiful Trauma is a celebration of the resilience of the human spirit and the wonder of the human hand.

How did an architect help pioneer blood transfusion in the 1660s? Why did eighteenth-century dentists buy the live teeth of poor children?

We think of transplant surgery as one of the medical wonders of the modern world. But transplant surgery is as ancient as the pyramids, with a history more surprising than we might expect. Shortened Bio: Dr. Paul Craddock is a cultural historian and award-winning author based in London. His debut book, Spare Parts: A Surprising History of Transplants was a Daily Mail Book of the Week and won the Special Commendation of the Royal Society of Literature Giles St Aubyn Awards.

Her latest project, a $100 million renovation of centerfield and completed new circulation around Dodger Stadium was completed for the 2020 season and will be the focal point of the MLB All-Star Game slated to be held in Los Angeles in 2022.    She is also working on the design and construction of Polar Park in Worcester, MA which will be the home of the Triple-A Worcester Red Sox in 2021.   Smith is best known in the baseball world for her work on the influential Oriole Park at Camden Yards, saving Fenway Park and the renovations at Dodger Stadium.     Smith worked for the Orioles from 1989-94 as vice president of planning and development during the design and construction of the park. Opening in 1992, Camden Yards immediately became the standard-bearer for a new wave of traditional baseball parks that have been built in subsequent years. Smith played an instrumental role in the design of the ballpark, creating a state-of-the-art unique facility that blends with the urban context of downtown Baltimore while taking inspiration from baseball parks built in the early 20th century.  Its success spawned over 20 MLB parks to move into urban centers and created a new formula for fan-friendly areas in sports venues and establishing new thinking for how sports fit into cities and elevate design.   Smith served as senior vice president of planning and development for the Boston Red Sox from 2002-2009.  Smith oversaw the preservation of historic Fenway Park and led the program that placed this significant ballpark on the National Historic Register.  Her work at Fenway Park earned her a Special Achievement Award from the Boston Baseball Writers’ Association in 2012.  Additionally, the Boston Preservation Alliance nominated Fenway Park for the 2008 Sports Business Awards’ Sports Venue of the Year and awarded the ballpark a Special Commendation for Outstanding Stewardship at the 2005 Preservation Awards, recognizing the cultural and historic significance of the building, as well as the honorific nature of its renovations including the popular addition of seats on top of Fenway Park’s iconic “Green Monster.” Before joining the Dodgers, Smith had a second tour with the Orioles as vice president of planning and development from September 2009-August 2012.    In that role, Smith directed renovations and expansion of the Orioles’ new spring training facility in Sarasota, Florida, as well as upgrades and enhancements to Oriole Park at Camden Yards to celebrate the park’s 20th anniversary including the popular roof deck on top of the batters eye in centerfield.     From 1994-2000, Smith held the position of president of Turner Sports and Entertainment Development, a division of Turner Broadcasting System, and was the vice president of Planning and Development for the Atlanta Braves. Her work in Atlanta transformed the 1996 Olympic Stadium into Turner Field, home of the Braves, and she also oversaw the development of the Philips Arena, home of the NBA Atlanta Hawks and NHL Atlanta Thrashers. Smith has worked on urban development projects, including Battery Park City in New York City, where she served as coordinator of Architecture and Design, and Pershing Square—Downtown Los Angeles’s oldest park.   Smith worked as senior advisor of planning and design with Baltimore-based Struever Bros. Eccles & Rouse on many of their development and rehab projects in the city of Baltimore, from Tide Point to Bond Street Wharf.   She was responsible for concept planning for the Indianapolis basketball arena and the renovation of the Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena, Calif. She was also part of the THINK team, one of the final two teams in the competition for the World Trade Center site in New York City in 2002.  Smith’s work has been published extensively and she has spoken at the “Cooperstown Symposium on Baseball and American Culture” and the NINE conference in Arizona on several occasions. She gave the keynote address at both conferences in 2014, the same year that she was selected as a recipient of a Women of Inspiration Award from the LA chapter of Women in Sports & Events (WISE).  In 2016, Smith was recognized by Maryland Daily Record’s Top 100 Circle of Excellence and was named Sports Business Journal’s “Power Player for Design and Development.”   Sports Business Journal also honored Smith in 2011 in their inaugural class of “Game Changers: Women in Sports Business” and in their 2017 Class of Champions.  In 2019, Smith was nominated for the Baseball Reliquary’s Shrine of the Eternals and SABR’s Dorothy Seymour Mills Lifetime Achievement Award for Women in Baseball. Smith delivered the commencement speech for Mississippi State University, her alma mater, in 2013 and University of Michigan’s School of Kinesiology in 2018.  She was inducted into the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame in 2020.     Smith was the Edward P. Bass Visiting Professor at Yale University School of Architecture in 2017.     Smith holds a master’s degree in Urban Planning from City College of New York and a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Mississippi State University.  She is an associate member of the Urban Land Institute, American Institute of Architects, and the American Planning Association.
