  1. Ep.29 Amy Ingram - Producer/Director/Actor

    Ep.29 Amy Ingram - Producer/Director/Actor

    Welcome to the 29th episode. This episode I spoke with I would say a big inspiration on my work ethic and ideas when it comes to the theatre scene here in Australia. Amy Ingram. Amy is a director, actor, producer, and kind of all-around theatre maker. If any of those professions interest you then stick around. I found Amys perspective on the industry one of hustling and keeping a level of realism while also maintaining a clear passion for it.

    Ep.28 Jen Murray - Dance Choreographer/Yoga Practitioner

    It finally happened and I am speaking to someone from the movement world. In episode 28 Jen Murray is my guest. Jen is a yoga practitioner, dance choreographer, and university tutor. We discuss Jen's career quite thoroughly, this concludes with us finding out why Jen moved to Australia. We also speak about the differences between Canada's art sector and Australia's and I definitely enjoyed her answer to that final question I always ask.

    Ep.27 Spencer Howson - Radio Presenter

    Welcome to the 27th episode. I've been very excited to release this episode as I got to speak to renowned radio host Spencer Howson. Spencer has 25 + years of radio experience to draw from which makes this an invaluable episode to listen to. In this interview, you can tell he's actively watched the industry change over the years. We speak about his early days in radio, his love of community and information, his intentions to constantly innovate his radio shows, what he defines as a radio act as well as some general chats involving the radio and audio industry. He was incredibly responsive and open to my questions which makes for a great interview.

    Ep.26 Emma Dean - Musician/Songwriter/Performer

    In episode 26 I speak with Emma Dean. Emma is currently a Brisbane-based musician, who performs in cabarets, writes musicals, and can be frequently seen singing in a number of bands around Brisbane. She brings an immense openness and vulnerability to the interview and it definitely creates a great feel for the episode. We speak about her journey as a musician. Her time in New York. Her experiences here in Australia. Her interest in cabarets and why collaboration is such a fundamental part of her life. Also, she invites me to join her community choir which was a bit of fun.

    Ep.25 Saffron Benner - Dramaturg

    Welcome to the very first episode of 2021. In Episode 25 I start the year off very strong by speaking to Dramaturg and industry professional Saffron Benner. Saffron was once an academic who designed and taught the state's first formal dramaturgical course. Saffron has been apart of the arts industry for a number of years and as such as much wisdom to impart. It doesn't matter if you're not interested in Dramaturgy, or perhaps don't know what that is, this episode is a good insight into the theatre scene in Australia.
