Accidental Gods
Creating Quantum Theatre: radical story-becoming to change the world with Jenifer Toksvig

Accidental Gods

Humanity is a storied species - everything we do from forming partnerships, to buying stuff, to moving house, to getting a new job… arises from the stories we tell ourselves and each other about ourselves and each other. If we're going to shift to a new way of being, the route will be led by the stories we can build of how it will look and feel, how we'll be more alive, more connected, have a deeper sense of being, belonging, becoming… So - how do we tell stories of transformation in ways that engage everyone, that give everyone the agency, support, encouragement and freedom to be what they need in any moment - in every moment?  This week's guest is theatre maker and champion of access, Jenifer Toksvig.  Jen is creator of the Copenhagen Interpretation, which takes concepts of uncertainty and fluidity evolved to describe the quantum process in physics, and applies them to theatre, to the telling of living stories in a shared space in a way that fosters connection, creativity, and personal growth. Clearly we on Accidental Gods believe that the stories we tell ourselves and each other of ourselves and each other - and our place as more or less conscious nodes in the web of life - are crucial to how we navigate this moment of total turmoil in our cultural, energetic and biophysical worlds.  We not only need new stories, we need new ways of telling those stories, new ways of experiencing different ways of being and this, it seems to me, is what Jen is creating. When I first learned of the Copenhagen Interpretation, and The Broad Cloth that arises from it, when I first took part in Jen's gathering of a Fairy Tale, it felt as if someone was opening doors in my mind; that here is a way safely to explore the emergent edges of interbecoming that are where the magic happens.  So I wanted to bring some of this magic to the podcast, to let Jen tell her story and to see if we could bring it home for you. So here we go, stepping into a place of magic and emergence, people of the podcast, please do welcome Jenifer Toksvig of the Copenhagen Interpretation.

Like everyone else, we Europeans have been watching a LOT of television over the past year. But something rather nice has been happening: we've been watching *each other's* television. Could streaming giants like Netflix be helping develop a shared European culture, as we all sit down to enjoy shows like Lupin and Money Heist? This week we speak to Jérôme Dechesne of European producers' group CEPI about the Europeanisation of binge-watching. We're also talking about the prince who apparently-accidentally shot Romania's largest bear, and the Belgian farmer who may have apparently-accidentally moved the French border.

Day fifty four. Life behind the police lines in Lockdown Spain for a British couple and their three good legs cat. Today naked women and fireworks. Find out more at: https://www.thesecretspain.com Day 54 Naked women and fireworks It is day 54 of our Spanish Lockdown.  Victory in Europe day.  Last night there was an enormous fire that stretched along the coastline between Motril and Salobreña.  The reed beds were alight, and the fire raged most of the night. It was finally put out at 10.30 in the morning. Weirdly it must have been reminiscent of watching the buildings of London burning in the distance after an air raid.  When I think about my grandparents and my mother, father and stepfather, they all went through an awful lot but the war did eventually end. When the war came to an end the street where my mother lived held a party, somebody had an old firework that they had kept until the end of the war, it was lit, veered off course and burned my mother.  Which is why we rarely had fireworks when we were children. Day 54 and this is a very sad day, we should have been off to Malaga airport to pick up our nieces, to spend a couple of days here, by the pool sipping cocktails.  Hopefully next year. Chris is busy talking to Petra she is very keen for us to go and visit the big house and flush her toilets, .. well whatever turns you on!  It is a bit sad and empty here, there are about thirty or so of us still living on the Estate, but usually by now everyone has arrived for the early summer. We are hoping that maybe some of our neighbours might be able to drive over maybe in a month or so and cheer the place up a bit. The sadness continues as our German neighbour Lena lost her lovely dog Rico this morning.  For quite a few months now he has had a number of medical issues, yesterday he took a turn for the worse, Marie-Carmen our vet gave him some morphine to help him through the night, but he was no better this morning so sadly Lena had to take her beloved dog to the vet one last time.   Day 54 and I was listening to a Facebook post of Spike Milligan from The Goons ruining an Australian news bulletin by interjecting jokes in the background.  I never met Spike but did meet Michael Bentine, who had come in to plug a children’s book.  I had a very interesting chat with him in the green room about the comedic actor Peter Sellers, who he described as a mad ‘see you next Tuesday’ – and actually used the real naughty word too!    It would seem that The Goons real success was that Peter possessed one of the very first tape recorders, a great big coffin box full of valves.  They would all go around to Peter’s and practice all the daft voices, recording them into the tape recorder over and over again, listening back until they got them right.    It was Sandi Toksvig who told me about meeting Spike Milligan, she was appearing with him on a TV show and always admired his work, so took a trip down the corridor to his dressing room.  She found him standing on the table pulling the tiles down from the false ceiling.   “Whatever are you doing dear?”  she said.  “I am trying to get rid of the *******g voices.” He said, “They are in here somewhere, and when I find them, I am going to rip them out.”   She realised that he was talking about the Tannoy that was hidden in the ceiling that the Producer and reception would make announcements on, seemingly it was driving him mad, literally. We went for a walk yesterday afternoon, just to the shared bins, which sit down below on the roadside, we bumped into our Belgium neighbour Enrique, who’s claim to fame is that he had something or other to do with Plastic Betram’s hit, Ca Plane pour Moi. He has relatives in Barcelona and says they are revolting. No not in that way, he says some have had enough of the nationally controlled police telling them – Catalonians – what to do.  There has been considerable unrest in the Catalonian part of Spain, During the riots in October last year police were shipped in from outside the province, who have been accused of being heavy handed. It seems that on the nudist beach between the Olympic village and Barcelona town the police spotted a woman swimming naked, they called out to her to stop, she told them to F off and then  said that they were not Catalonian so she wasn’t going to take any notice off them. That was enough to get them to charge into the water and haul her naked onto the beach, the fracas coming to an end with the woman biting one of the officers on the chin, hospitalising him. It looks like Barcelona and Madrid will be kept on full Lockdown next week, so it is going to be a difficult time in both of those cities. As they used to say on the Jaws films – “stay out of the water.”

Day forty nine, Gin and Toksvig, Life behind the police lines in Lockdown Spain for a British couple and their three good legs cat.   Find out more at: https://www.thesecretspain.com Day 49 Gin and Toksvig It is day 49 of our Spanish Lockdown, the start of phase zero and limited outings for exercise both for children and adults.  The day is going to be hot so an early start to build some shelves for a cupboard and to finish plastering over the cables I had put in for the wifi.  All done by 10am before the sun starts to make things uncomfortable.   10 am is usually second breakfast time for the Spanish, so we had a coffee and a biscuit.   The sudden hot weather has brought with it many, many flies, they get it in the moment you open a door or a window. You can spend a great deal of time chasing them around the place.  We have mosquiteros or what the Americans call ‘screens’ and this time of year they are a godsend, that and have persianas or shutters that you can lower to darken a room and finally Toldos – awnings that come down on an electric motor and provide shade for the balcony.   In other words, it is all about opposites, opposite to the British was of letting as much light in, opening every window and sitting outside unprotected by the sun, trying to get some kind of tan before the rain starts again.   It always amuses me on those places in the sun shows, where the voiceover goes.. “and this charming Spanish house has a rooftop solarium.’ Accompanied with a shot of a red painted rooftop. There is no way on gods earth you would want to sit up on a rooftop in the midday sun.. you will die.   Day 49 and we are both getting worried about just how Spain will manage to recover from the pandemic.  Not only from a health point of view, but the Spanish economy, which still hadn’t really recovered from the 2008 crisis.   It is quite disconcerting to see the ‘militarising’ of the whole pandemic.  Whilst it was sort of reassuring to see soldiers on the streets, it was equally disturbing and you can’t help thinking are the military wondering if this is an opportunity, rather like the 1981 coup d’état when the parliament was stormed by the Guardia who took hostages not before they turned off all the TV cameras.. or so they though. Unfortunately for them, they stupidly left the main camera on and the whole world saw what was going on. King Juan Carlos denounced the whole affair and although shots were fired, the hostages were released without anyone being killed.    I worry that if Spain does not get some kind of tangible help from the E.U. the country will face bankruptcy, not at all a healthy situation for the European Union, but much worse for the ordinary Spanish who have weathered the storm of financial crisis that has dragged on since 2008, now only to get another even bigger wave of possible poverty and loss of employment and services.   We shall have to wait and see what the response is from the E.U. You always get the feeling that the far right is quietly waiting in the wings for another chance at a more successful coup d’état. This time they will remember to switch all the cameras off in the Congress of Deputies.   Day 49 and the afternoon has been glorious and I have been for a chilly swim with Chris he insists on proper swimming, today 100 six metre lengths.   Then my phone went off, I am trying to make the weekends different by not reading emails or going to much on social media, most weekends I fail, but Lockdown kinda merges all the days into each other – and that isn’t healthy.   The message read ‘have you finished the timecode editing.’ It was from my client Tony, woops, I thought the deadline was Monday, so I have spent an hour or so doing some work for him.   I got into Podcasting by accident, I was working on the Sandi Toksvig show on LBC in about 2005 when we noticed this new thing called Podcasting that was happening in the U.S.   Sandi is an Americophyle and she had noticed that listening to audio files called Podcasts seemed to be growing in popularity in the states and were starting to be listened to in the UK too.   So I made a ‘podcast’ a special episode of her show with a few extra bits in it.  Some very bright guys in engineering got it into the iTunes system and we also posted it online.   We expected maybe a few hundred downloads of the special show.  We were right we got three hundred downloads – in the first hour! Then hundreds and hundreds more. That attracted the attention of ‘The Management’ who decided to offer a subscription Podcast service.  The software was designed by a brilliant engineer who the BBC quickly poached to write software for their new on demand service the BBC iPlayer.   And I became the Podcast Manager, not only overseeing everybody’s contribution to the service but having to manage all the subscriptions and payments.. what a bloody nightmare that was. In its time it made a good deal of money, a NDC prevents me from saying how much, but it did well.   Now everybody seems to either about to start or have their own Podcast, even the two of us got in on the act with The Campen Players Podcast.. and now Spanish Practices. Day 49 is ending and a gin and ginger beer with ice is waiting for me, and we look forward to phase 1 starting in a week or so.

I was born into a traditional, 2.4-children-style family where Dad went out to work and Mum stayed at home. And I've mirrored that 'normal' set-up now I have a family of my own. Mum plus dad equals children. Simple. But because of that, it's easy to be blinkered to other family structure. 40 years later, blended, same sex, solo parent and adoptive families are equally celebrated. In today's episode of Mum-to-Mum Monday we'll be talking about unconventional families. Growing up in a same sex family with two mums; bucking the trend of the traditional 1980's expectation; adopting children of a different heritage; and how unique family set-ups work in todays world. My guest today is Jesse Toksvig-Stewart. Jesse grew up in Surrey in the UK with her two Mums, Sandi and Peta, and her siblings, Megan and Theo. In the late '80s this family structure was seen as unconventional. But to Jesse, it was normal. And it was all she knew. Later in her childhood when her mums split up, Jesse and her siblings divided their time between the two households. Her family has recently been extended even more, when Sandi remarried another woman, and gave Jesse a new step-sister. The family is close, and Jesse still lives near her mums house, with her boyfriend, Adam. They have recently warmly welcomed a sister from Pakistan heritage into their fold, whom Peta has adopted. Wanting to map the early years of her step-sister, adopted sister, and little nephew in a baby book, Jesse realised they only catered for the conventional. Looking back at her own baby record book, she saw it was full of crossed out words and hand written headings. Jesse was saddened that although times have changed and the world is more accepting, the printed world was lagging behind. There was no memory book that catered for her own special family, so she set out to create her own. A baby record book that celebrated her new sister's unique place in their family, and in the world. Alongside her illustrator friend, Kat Willott, they created an open record book called ‘My Amazing Family and Me' to welcome all children to families, no matter how they arrive, when they arrive, or how unique their family setup is. In today's episode, we go deep on everything from same sex parents, adopted children and dealing with the sideways glances, to discussing the issues that children from unique family circumstances face, separation anxiety, and how we can all help out in the way we respond to them. I'm delighted to welcome Jesse to my show today. She teaches us that families are built on love, not genetics and that understanding, tolerance and acceptance should be at the root of all families, no matter how unconventional their beginnings.

In einem entwaffnend komischen Vortrag erzählt Toksvig die Geschichte, wie sie eine neue politische Partei in Großbritannien gründete, die "Women's Equality Party" (Partei zur Gleichstellung der Frauen), mit der ausdrücklichen Absicht, Gleichstellung zur öffentlichen Abstimmung zu bringen. Nun hofft sie darauf, dass Menschen auf der ganzen Welt ihr Parteimodell kopieren und sich für Gleichstellung einsetzen werden.

En una charla divertida, Toksvig cuenta la historia de cómo ayudó a crear un nuevo partido político en Gran Bretaña, el Partido de la Igualdad de la Mujer, con el propósito expreso de lograr igualdad en la votación.

Segundo Sandi Toksvig, a igualdade das mulheres não acontecerá, a menos que mais mulheres assumam posições de poder. Em uma conversa desconcertante e engraçada, Toksvig conta a história de como ela ajudou a fundar um novo partido político na Grã-Bretanha, o Partido da Igualdade das Mulheres, com o propósito evidente de levar a igualdade às urnas. Agora ela espera que as pessoas ao redor do mundo repitam o modelo de seu partido e se mobilizem pela igualdade.
