The Thread

Thread-photo-web

I collaboratively produced and programmed two series of this radio show on Resonance FM.

The Thread is a free conversational space that goes beyond the university, a place where complex ideas can flourish in public dialogue. Created and produced by PhD students from the London Consortium, it brings artists, academics, amateurs and professionals together in wild and wide-ranging discussion. The Thread uses speech as a tool for research to open up new and unexpected angles: this is live radio thinking.

On 22nd March 2011, I presented a show about Camouflage featuring Patrick Wright, Sophie Nield and Synnove Fredericks. Follow the link to listen.

Interior Traces

A radio play, live performance and debate about the impact of brain imaging on society. A series of 6 episodes imagining the lives of two characters with different brain conditions had they lived in 1906, the present day, and 2030. Co-written with neuroscientist and science communicator Louise Whiteley, with music composed by Cheryl Frances-Hoad.
