This was aired on Resonance FM on October 22nd, 2008.

On 18 September 2008 Marcus Coates performed ‘Pastoral Spirit‘ in Wallspace, an art space in the historic church of All Hallows on the Wall in the City of London.

“Pastoral Spirit’ was a series of shamanistic journeys solely for the benefit of the audience, to answer questions asked by individuals present. Marcus was assisted by a live choir mimicking a range of animal calls and bird songs, to seek contact and information from animal and bird spirits.”

Between 8 and 9pm during this evening’s Clear Spot, Sarah Lightman discusses the event and its implications with Marcus Coates and Meryl Doney, Director of Wallspace.

Marcus Coates questions how we perceive human-ness through imagined non-human realities. An extensive knowledge and understanding of British wildlife has led him to create unique interpretations of the natural world and its evolving relationship with society.
