Martin Skews
The Shrine of Passion is a celebration of human passions and passionate humans. An opportunity to explore what makes our fellow human beings' hearts beat, their spirits sing and their souls soar. Join me, Cornish musician and artist, Martin Skews, as I meet with some inspiring friends and explore what is most vital to them and what gives them purpose, meaning and joy in this world.
In our second episode of the Shrine, we sit down in a cave on the Cornish coastline near St Just with brilliant musician, songwriter and composer, Ben Sutcliffe from The People's String foundation. We talk about what music means to us, making music for theatre, Ben's songwriting process for the People's String with his creative partner Zaid Al-Rikabi, and he also shares with us some ancient Mesopotamian history. Visit thepeoplesstringfoundation.com to find out more about Ben and Zaid and discover their wonderful music.
For this very first episode we sit down amongst the bluebells of Tehidy Woods in Cornwall with theatre-maker, writer and actor Ollie Oakenshield from Rogue Theatre. We explore what theatre, writing, performance, humanity, nature, tribe and family means to him, and discuss the work of Rogue Theatre, and what goes into bringing fantastical universes to life in natural spaces.
