Kate's Kitchen Capers
By Kate Roberts
This series of podcasts has been made for my MA Theatre Practice module: BIOS-3. The project was inspired by the experimental closed ecosystem conducted between 1965 and 1972 at the Institute of Biophysics in Krasnoyarsk, Russia. It has involved the important task of growing and harvesting seeds for food. Then there are the moments in-between while we wait for the plants to grow! Which for me, has involved researching the practice of Qigong and the Spoon. The results? Some serious play, a bit of philosophy, and lots of tea! Come on in...the kettle's on!
