Hey guys, if you'd like to hear what Amanda Palmer has to say about Shintaido, she's my guest on the latest episode of the Shintaido of America podcast. Shintaido, in case you haven't heard of it, is an amazing body movement practice developed in Japan in the 1960s by a group of artists, actors, and martial artists. Amanda's been an intermittent itinerant practitioner since she was in her 20s. We talk about what singing and vocalizing and movement can do for our brains, our lives, and our communities.

Amanda Palmer: former living statue, musician, crowdfunding guru Musician Amanda Palmer joins us for Episode 10 of the 2nd season of the podcast. With Brian Viglione she forms one half of the punk cabaret duo the Dresden Dolls, while in her solo career she is not only a songwriter, ukulele enthusiast, feminist, abortion rights activist, TED Talks superstar, and p...

YES Sebastian Lockwood performed the Odyssey back in the day at Pan9 and it was... epic. Forgive me, but it really was. It was what storytelling was made to be.

Homer’s Odysseus ~ Performed by Sebastian Lockwood
Using the well-known scenes of The Odyssey, Sebastian Lockwood delivers the passion and intensity of the great epic that deserves to be heard told as it was by bards in the days of old. Lockwood says, “The best compliment is when a ten-year-old comes up and says, ‘I felt like I was there.'” That is the magic of the performance that takes students and adults alike back into the text. Storyteller and podcaster, Sebastian Lockwood tells the great epics: Gilgamesh, Odysseus, Caesar, Beowulf and Monkey. His studies in Classics and Anthropology at Boston University and Cambridge University in the UK laid the foundation for bringing these great tales into performance. Lockwood has tutored and taught classes in higher education for 25 years. Lockwood launched two storytelling podcasts in 2022 and now concentrates on performance, podcasting, workshops and audiobook narration. Masks are preferred inside the building. Free and open to all.

You're going to hear the beginning of a science fiction story...

But there's no denying we're in for a wild ride. In this prologue to "How to Talk with Children about Global Warming" (HtTwCaGW - the novel), all the animals have a meeting to re-name the problem child, the human race. At first, Gorilla suggests naming them "the Inhumans," but the other animals have much funnier suggestions . . .

Hey Pan9 people,
maybe some of you came to a Shintaido practice or two back in the day. You might have heard on the grapevine that in fall 2019 just before the Y’know, I joined Amanda P on the UK leg of her “No Intermission” tour, leading Shintaido practices for fans in the afternoons just before the concerts.
So now I'm organizing an online Shintaido course that will take place over 21 days, 15 minutes per day. There’s a video introduction and overview of the course here: https://vimeo.com/523389968 (password: 21days).
The course includes several seveal basic Shintaido techniques but presented in a new format, and will be for both complete beginners and advanced students, and accessible to people in a wide range of physical conditions.
Information about registering will be on the shintaido.cz website soon, but as of now, the website is not yet updated. Also I haven’t scheduled it yet. I might do 2x per day, one in the morning European time for Czech Republic and Europeans (which is also good for Californians in the evening), and another one for USA East Coast.
Post here if you might want to participate! Love, manta
