We are back after another hiatus! And this time we invite you to join us in a magical episode of Shakespearean trivia and artistic nerdgasms. We are joined by performing artist, storyteller and The Great Bard Afficionado Extraordinaire – Debs Newbold (UK/IR)!Debs has worked extensively with retelling Shakespeare’s plays as storytelling shows, having reached international acclaim with her versions of King Lear, Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet. Lately, she has been wrangling the beast that is "The Tempest“ which is slowly entering its final form. With that play as a jumping off point we discuss what it means to be faithful in a process of artistic adaptation, and how revision can feel like a glorious act of rebellion that is yet somehow able to be encompassed and even welcomed by a canonical work of art.DEBS NEWBOLD LINKShttps://www.debsnewboldplays.com/https://www.instagram.com/debsnewboldplays/https://x.com/debsnewboldSXIP SHIREY LINKShttps://www.sxipshireymusic.com/https://www.instagram.com/sxipshireyofficial/PODCAST LINKS https://www.intheborderlands.com/ https://www.patreon.com/IntheBorderlands https://www.facebook.com/intheborderlands https://www.instagram.com/intheborderlands_podcast/ EMAIL [email protected] TORGRIM'S LINKS https://www.brittle.one/ https://www.facebook.com/kloverknekten https://www.instagram.com/kloverknekten/ MIKAEL'S LINKS https://smarturl.it/inanna https://www.facebook.com/mikael.oberg.performance.storyteller https://www.instagram.com/mikaelobergstoryteller/REFERENCESWords Festival (discontinued 2023)https://www.facebook.com/wordsfestivalShakespeare's Globe Theatrehttps://www.shakespearesglobe.com/Geoffrey of Monmouthhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoffrey_of_MonmouthOvidhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OvidGrace O'Malleyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_O%27MalleyHag-Seed by Margaret Atwoodhttps://margaretatwood.ca/books/hag-seed/Arden Shakespearehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arden_ShakespeareLewis Theobaldhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_TheobaldPandorahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PandoraAlbionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albion

David Beth has spent half a lifetime exploring the hidden aspects of consciousness, the malaise of the modern mind, the essences of divine archetypes and forms.We speak of how the Western World is a world only in concept, because it is based on safety, predictability and preconceived notions of what it should be. A reality based on human imposition. How do we re-establish a true relation with the world based on openness, listening and allowing, a world of never-ending creation, constantly making kosmos from kaos?DAVID BETH LINKShttps://theionpublishing.com/https://kosmic-gnosis.org/Intro text from the essay "Children of the Abyss"https://theionpublishing.com/shop/tfg_2revexp/PODCAST LINKS https://www.intheborderlands.com/ https://www.patreon.com/IntheBorderlands https://www.facebook.com/intheborderlands https://www.instagram.com/intheborderlands_podcast/ EMAIL [email protected] TORGRIM'S LINKS https://www.brittle.one/ https://www.facebook.com/kloverknekten https://www.instagram.com/kloverknekten/ MIKAEL'S LINKS https://smarturl.it/inanna https://www.facebook.com/mikael.oberg.performance.storyteller https://www.instagram.com/mikaelobergstoryteller/REFERENCESConjuring Creativityhttps://conjuringcreativity.org/Aleister Crowleyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleister_CrowleyThelemahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThelemaAnthroposophyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AnthroposophyMichael Bertiauxhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_BertiauxHaitian Vodouhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haitian_VodouLudwig Klageshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_KlagesMartin Heideggerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_HeideggerHomerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomerGeorges Bataillehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_BatailleSagas of Icelandershttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagas_of_IcelandersLeft-hand-path and right-hand-pathhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-hand_path_and_right-hand_pathMinotaurhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MinotaurArchon (Gnosticism)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archon_(Gnosticism)Biocentrismhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biocentrism_(ethics)Maya Derenhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_DerenCandombléhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candombl%C3%A9Umbandahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UmbandaQuimbandahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuimbandaDionysushttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DionysusLanguage of the birdshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_of_the_birdsSiegfried/Sigurdhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SigurdSufismhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SufismMjölnir (Thor's hammer)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mj%C3%B6lnirGeisthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeistVeil of Isishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veil_of_IsisKlaus Kinskihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaus_KinskiAlfred Schulerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_SchulerAnselm Kieferhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anselm_KieferVincent van Goghhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_van_Gogh
