In addition, everyone from C.G. Jung to Harold Pinter to John Cleese to Jack Lang and Jerzy Grotowski make important cameo appearances throughout this fascinating yet ultimately tragic story.

Born in wartime London, and frustrated in his attempts to discover a means of expression, it was in 1967 that Roy Hart showed Pikes it was right under his nose – his voice! Singing enabled him to engage creatively both with himself and others.
From 1974 he worked and studied in Malérargues until moving to Switzerland in 1991. In the last 30 years he continued to work on his voice and perform, wrote a book on the history of Roy Hart Theatre, and studied improvised music, movement, clown theatre, psychodrama, contemporary shamanism, Jungian and Archetypal psychology. These studies, which enhanced all that he received from Roy Hart and his teachers, led to a new name for his own approach -The Whole Voice. He is currently working on a teaching book, as well as collaborations with coaches and giving lessons.
