Amy came to Ipswich to tell us about her performance and research project, Light Source, following a showing of the piece at Colchester Arts Centre and a symposium at the British Library. Light Source highlighted the lost histories of persecuted people, primarily women, and gave voice to the innocents killed in witch trials.
Amy and Robin covered a huge variety of topics including the history of witch trials in East Anglia and beyond, the possibility of reinventing and reclaiming the witch, contemporary instances of persecution, interpretations of eccentricity and the search for justice for those executed.
For more information on Amy’s work, you can visit her website here. A website dedicated to her Light Source project can be found here.

For this episode, Robin talks to Marcus Harris Noble, Creative Producer and DJ. Marcus was part of our 2024 Think Tank Live programme, presenting a participatory workshop entitled ‘The Deep Listening Toolkit’, which was designed to shift our habits and perceptions around the act of listening to music.
Topics covered in this podcast include the devaluation of music as in monetary and cultural terms, the possibility (or not) random discovery in the algorithmic age, how apps like Shazam have changed how recommendations are made for new music, the pleasures of listening to crackly vinyl records and Marcus’s search for every version of the classic Jimmy Webb song, Wichita Lineman.

In this, our first episode of the series, Robin is in conversation with London based performance artist Louise Orwin. Louise visited our venue the SPILL Think Tank earlier this year, to present a work in progress screening of a documentary film based on her experiences of touring her live performance, FameHungry. Louise has described FameHungry as a ‘helter skelter nosedive into the TikTok universe’, asking how performance art can compete in the digital age.
Topics covered include the attention economy, social media in comparison to film and television, what it’s like to be mentored by somebody younger than you, fame on TikTok, censorship on TikTok, and how to avoid dystopian thinking about our present cultural moment.
