A wide-ranging encounter with the actor, playwright, furniture-maker, and all-round raconteur, Mr. Patrick Doyle: from the fairy world of childhood to inconceivable threats of nuclear annihilation, to the wilds of the Mississippi River, to phosphate mines and sulphur plant meltdowns and deep sea diving and thwarted chemical inventions, and beyond—where the material and the spiritual meet.
Swing Wide the Gates w/ Cesari Ciaglo
A good example of a simple impromptu (aleatory) episode: Cesari happened to stop by, we started talking, as we do, and Ragnar was here to record some of it. Cesari is a eurythmist and teacher who has spent his life researching spiritual questions. He is a wonderful eurythmy teacher of children and also adults, serious, deep, kind, and also funny; I always enjoy speaking with him. Here we take a little journey from Goethe’s Mephistopheles to Ancient Egypt to Lenin and 20th century communism to King Solomon to, eventually, right here and now.
Altar the Stage w/ Glen Williamson
What we know today as drama—the theatre, the stage—was born of the ancient mysteries, a connection obscured by time, and nearly lost sight of altogether, but never quite. As an actor, storyteller, researcher, and playwright , Glen Williamson has devoted his life to making the spiritual live on the stage. If he comes to your town, you should go see him!
