Georgia Malone's Here Goes Nothing

Georgia Malone (Toby Malone, Jo Malone, John Carter)

Created by Georgia Malone; presented by Georgia Malone (episodes 1-10); guest presenters (episodes 11-on). Taking a dive into the impact of arts and creativity. What is it that makes us human, what makes us unique, and what adds value to your life? Often the answer to all of these questions can be traced back to our connection to arts, culture and creativity. The ‘Arts’ is often seen as a high brow endeavour that only some enjoy and partake in but it is in everyone’s lives, in some way. We all listen to music, read books, watch movies and connect with creativity for our enjoyment or mental health. This podcast gets to the heart of what the arts is and what it means. It will explore different topics with people who have devoted their lives to the arts in some way, to understand what drives them and how they connect with the arts on a personal level. Discussions will include the importance of a good play, how jazz can penetrate your soul, the role artists play in society, what compels people to leave their money to the local art gallery, why festivals just hit different, and how feminist sci-fi is a gateway drug. Interesting people with interesting ideas join me for interesting conversations.

    Season 2, Episode 7: Chronic Illness and Art with Sarah Nelson and Guest Interviewer Kelli McCluskey

    When chronic illness means a physical theatre artist can no longer move, does that damage their ability to create art? Performer Sarah Nelson has created art across Australia and throughout the world, using her body to create art through mask, circus, physicality, puppetry, and curious exploration, but her greatest challenge came when she was hit with a case of Long Covid that was so serious her family thought she might not make it. Never one to shy away from a challenge, Sarah used this experience to create a new, award-winning artwork, and energised her purpose to advocate against artist burnout, mental distress, performing while injured, and the debilitating relentless cycle of project funding.
