Dating When You've Had a Bad Childhood

Dating is always a slightly daunting process, involving the need to gather our courage to reveal that we like someone - and that they may not like us... But we're not all the same in our levels of anxiety around the dating game. For some of us, dating is especially arduous for one particular reason that we may not have considered in enough depth: our childhoods...

Most people around us won’t be any the wiser, but with greater or lesser subtlety, we will be scanning: suggesting coffees and lunches, accepting every invitation, giving out our email addresses and thinking with unusual care about where to sit on train journeys. Sometimes the rigmarole will be joyful; at times, a bore. But for a portion of us, as many as one in four, it will count as one of the hardest things we ever have to do. Fun won’t remotely come into it. This will be closer to trauma. And it will be so for a reason that can feel more humiliating still: because, a long time ago now, we had a very bad childhood – one whose impact and legacy we still haven’t yet wholly mastered. It may not look like it, but babies are also looking out for love. They’re not going out in party smocks or slipping strangers’ their phone numbers. They are lying more or less immobile in cribs and are capable of little besides the occasional devastating cute smile. But they too are looking out for someone’s arms to feel safe in; for someone who can soothe them, someone who can stroke their head, tell them it will all be OK when things feel desperate and lend them a breast to suck on. They are looking – as the psychologists call it – to get attached…” MORE SCHOOL OF LIFE Watch more films on RELATIONSHIPS in our playlist: http://bit.ly/TSOLrelationships SOCIAL MEDIA Feel free to follow us at the links below: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theschooloflifelondon/ X: https://twitter.com/TheSchoolOfLife Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theschooloflifelondon/ CREDITS Produced in collaboration with: Natalia Biegaj https://www.nb-animation.com/ Title animation produced in collaboration with Vale Productions https://www.valeproductions.co.uk/

What Is Your Phone Doing to Your Relationships?

We often look to our phones to help us resolve the tensions of our love lives: they promise us distraction, new friends and glorious escape. We can forgive ourselves our deep attachment to them - while nevertheless being a bit sceptical as to their ultimate effects on our chances of forming good relationships. Enjoying our Youtube videos?

Phones provide exemplary compensation for the frustrations of living with actual people. Unlike them, they are always responsive to the touch and their malleability provides the perfect excuse for disengagement from the trickier aspects of true connections.” MORE SCHOOL OF LIFE Watch more films on RELATIONSHIPS in our playlist: http://bit.ly/TSOLrelationships SOCIAL MEDIA Feel free to follow us at the links below: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theschooloflifelondon/ X: https://twitter.com/TheSchoolOfLife Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theschooloflifelondon/ CREDITS Produced in collaboration with: Natalia Biegaj https://www.nb-animation.com/ #TheSchoolOfLife #Relationships #Technology

Here I Go: A short animated film about music in mental health settings

The RPO and Cambridge Live recently teamed up with The Phoenix Centre – a specialised eating disorder unit for young people aged 12-18 based at the Ida Darwin Hospital in Cambridge - to deliver a creative music-making project. Since February a team of RPO musicians and workshop leader Sigrún Sævarsdóttir-Griffiths have been visiting the centre to work with young people currently receiving treatment. The project aimed to improve mental health, encourage self-exploration and boost confidence through creativity, and included elements of poetry and lyric writing, guided group improvisation and composition. Participants created brand new pieces of music expressing their feelings about their lives and the challenges they face. Throughout the process they were introduced to Corn Exchange Artist-in-Residence Esther Yoo and Composer-in-Residence Jay Richardson, who has since composed his new piece, Here I Go, directly inspired by the young people’s own compositions. “I’ve been very lucky to join the musical journeys which have taken place at the Phoenix Centre over the past few months. Here I Go develops some of the themes—musical, poetic and emotional—that arose from group workshops at the Centre. Throughout the piece, you will hear direct musical quotations of the new ideas that we created during these workshops. More than just a development of musical ideas, however, Here I Go is inspired by the amazing young people of the Phoenix Centre. The piece is named after a work, by an incredibly talented young poet at the Centre, which helped me throughout the process of composition. I am very grateful to have been able to work with these inspiring words as well as with musical material from our workshops. I very much hope that Here I Go does justice to the wonderful creativity and resourcefulness of all the people who helped me create it.” – Jay Richardson, Corn Exchange Composer-in-Residence The partners gratefully acknowledge the grant received from the Mills & Reeve Cambridge Community Fund and ARM Cambridge Community Fund, charitable funds managed by Cambridgeshire Community Foundation, to help make this project possible. Additional funding was provided by ARM, an anonymous donor, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Cambridge Live. The partners wish to thank Esther Yoo, Jay Richardson, Sigrún Sævarsdóttir-Griffiths, Dr Kate Gee, The Phoenix Centre and Cambridgeshire & Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust, The Pilgrim PRU and all the donors for their support. This short animated film about the project, created by Cambridge FilmWorks, was first screened at the RPO’s concert at the Cambridge Corn Exchange on Saturday, 5th May 2018 alongside the premier of Jay Richardson’s composition Here I Go.
