JAWBONE with Martin Shaw

"There are many who live in the mountains and behave as if they were in the town; they are wasting their time. It is possible to be a solitary in one's mind while living in a crowd; and it is possible for those who are solitaries to live in the crowd of their own thoughts." – Amma Syncletica

In "Fables of Necessity: Tricksters & Saints" Martin talks about the relationship between persona and presence. Shaw suggests we will have to have some experience of saints & tricksters to make the transition from fables of necessity to stories of the essential. How do we engage artfully with a world on fire?

In this episode Martin recounts stories from folk traditions that tell us something of the conditions of what creates a storyteller. He claims a teller is a scarecrow of words: someone that dwells between the wild darkness and the hearth fire, understanding the job of translation that goes on between them.

Acclaimed storyteller and author MARTIN SHAW invites us into his study where he freewheels his ferocious imagination into everything he's learnt about life over half a century. He asks: how do we become a real human being? Using myth, storytelling and his own unique form of philosophizing, Shaw reveals what he calls 'archaic technologies' and shows how we can use them today.
