Spoems - Gavin Bryars Protests at the Closure of Dartington College

Gavin Bryars Protests at the Closure of Dartington College

Back


This video was made by the internationally renowned composer Gavin Bryars and sent as a message of support to the Save Dartington College Campaign. It was shown on Save3 Dartington Day on January 28th in the Civic Hall in Totnes. The Principal of the College, Andrew Brewerton, in what must rank as one of the most disgraceful uses of spin, extracted some of the 'good bits' and put them in the College Prospectus, together with extracts of other letters of support, including that of Peter Brook. To put the record straight, this video is an unedited version of Gavin Bryar's comments.

Where do you stand in the great bullshit debate? What are your views about bullshit? Is it a significant social force? Is it an important element of modern society? Has bullshit developed in recent years? Is the quality of bullshit as high as in the 1990s? Or do you not have views? Do you need advice from a bullshit guidance expert?

bidder88: why such a negative response from you? I teach in the Music Departments at two leading UK universities and I've known about the value of Dartington College for years. As a professional solo pianist I've only ever played at Dartington once, but during my visit I was able to meet some of the students and even on the basis of those short impressions I immediately became aware of the College's healthy educational environment.

Well said. Leave Dartington College alone.

Bloody right too ! So how exactly did Andrew Brewerton manage to 'rephrase' this into a testimonial for the prospectus ?
