The Good (Inte) Review – Rebecca Frecknall
The design process took several steps to really. The first step was over a year and was probably one of the hardest things I've ever done! The text is so precise and has a real rhythm that you must follow. We also had the challenge of making the text very accessible to an academic audience and I knew from the beginning that I wanted to find a kind of narrative of these two characters throughout the book.
I suppose it was difficult, because it could have gone in so many different directions as a piece.I knew I wanted to get a physical journey, mainly as a challenge to myself to see if I could incorporate that into a song. What was surprising about the creation of this piece was that the right people came on board at the right time. Actors (Kate and Jack Leonard Lamb) had never worked together before, or with me, and never really thought that way, but the way they worked together was such a gift to me during the process . They came with great ideas and were really able to undertake strenuous physical improvisations for ages and let me see what they have proposed. Thus all of the choreography was made.Kate Mara (now producer at the head of the king), then came on board our manager and has had a great influence towards the end of the process.
Book Review: R.D. Laing: A Biography by John Clay | John Marsden ...
The structure and approach of John Clay’s biography is conservative: a well organised and fairly friendly account of R. D. Laing’s life and work. The chapters on Laing’s childhood give a stark account of the emotional abuse Laing suffered from his parents, and in particular his mother. Laing’s drinking, drug taking, hostility to women, aggression and distress; but also his quest for meaning, love and security; and his deep empathy and understanding are illuminated by these early chapters. He found an escape in sport, literature, and above all music. Laing’s work on families and the binds they sometimes inflict on children has its origins here.
Life is a sexually transmitted disease and the mortality rate is one hundred percent. -R. D. Laing.
