Tracks of My Life with Benjamin Wilson
Episode 55, Dec 17, 07:00 PM
Tracks of My Life is a show on RNIB Connect Radio presented and produced by Toby Davey where he invites a guest to take us on a journey through their life, sharing the tracks that mark important moments which bring back memories to them.
Their chosen tracks of their life might include the first track they can remember hearing, the first track they bought, a number of tracks that mark moments in their life and the final track, a track that they would like to pass on which might give people hope for the future.
In this trimmed down podcast version of Tracks of My Life Toby is joined by blind actor, theatre maker and access consultant Benjamin Wilson, who was the Ramps on The Moon Agent For Change at Sheffield Theatres. He is also the Co-Founder of creative audio description company Hear The Picture and the theatre company Brick Wall Ensemble.
Ben has worked with many theatre companies and performed on many stages over the years including Leeds Playhouse, The Globe and the National Theatre to name just a few.
Benjamin’s chosen tracks start with one to his Dad who passed away when he was only 10 years old and one that when he hears it he feels a real connection with his Dad again.
Then to a track from his favourite band Arctic Monkeys and seven years in Sheffield and working at Sheffield Theatres.
Next to the religion that is following your chosen football team through thick and thin with a true football song that has a 70s feel for Leeds United.
Theatre and football merge in Benjamin’s next chosen track with one from his own production of Henry 5 which he starred in and a track that all the cast sang and danced too.
Before we come to Benjamin’s final track we will have one for his partner Laura and one from road by Jim Cartwright a theatre production that he worked on as Audio description Consultant.
