Jo Blake: What Does Myth Do Anyway? #3


Listen Later

”Flowers become flesh becomes bird…”

The first guest on our show is Jo Blake, a performer working across the disciplines of storytelling, theatre and dance. She has written a PhD about her project of unearthing the mythological character Blodeuwedd (flower-face/owl) from the depths of the Mabinogion - a medieval Welsh text regarded as one of the oldest and most complete repositories of British Celtic Myth. We talk about mythic ambiguity, female trickster figures and the importance of making the wrong choice...among many other  things!
