Henri Laban presents: Openings, a series
Opening: hole, empty space, free place in the soul where the interior and exterior can communicate
An Occupation, a Life
Living is a feat. Talking about it is something of an art.
Invited guests will talk about their life experiences, their professions, what they read, their family or social lives.
A fifteen-part series, organised by occupation, of the life of each guest evoking their years of training, their inspirations, the highs and occasional lows of their professional lives. We’ll follow them as they make chance encounters, we’ll discover the influences that determined their choices and the situations that helped form their careers.
An Occupation, a Life is directed by Holly K. Bailey

An Open Book
A broadcast co-produced by Henri Laban and Francine C. Boivin, directed by Holly K. Bailey
This weekly emission on CIDI will be broadcast at 10 am each Saturday and repeated at 11 pm on Sundays.
Francine (or a different guest) will have read a book that struck her. She will try to communicate her enthusiasm to another participant. In no way will this be a literary review, rather a meeting of two friends who share the pleasures and surprises of reading.

“I accepted the challenge proposed by Henri Laban to discover and enjoy books and authors for the pleasure of reading, or re-reading, in the company of my two cats. We’ve agreed that my choices will include all genres; that I will express my personal points of view, without excluding any doubts or questions. After all, the series is called OPENINGS, so, I’m opening books, paths of thought…
It’s for you to see what you like, what makes you want to go further. And even to find answers to unanswered questions. Or to comment on our interaction. You have simply to write to us to talk!”
Francine C. Boivin, January 29, 2011
