Skeleton Crew

MPR - Manawatu People's Radio

How do you write stories? How do you perform with stage presence? How do you tell your parents that you don't need "a real job"? These are all vital questions for artists. Skeleton Crew Performing Arts is a theatre troupe based in Palmerston North, and our group has fingers in a million creative pies. We invite local experts to talk about: - Fiction writing - Acting - Film - Poetry - Comedy - Music - Visual art - Roleplaying ...and anything creative that floats their fancy! Come have a yarn with us as we slowly overwhelm our experts with our tangy neurospices. To get in touch email: skeletoncrewnz@gmail.com

    Episode 12 - Should you be a chosen one

    In this episode of Skeleton Crew, the team dives into the world of storytelling tropes—the familiar patterns, conventions, and clichés that shape books, films, TV, and games. From chosen ones and heroic sacrifices to twist endings, villain redemption arcs, and “they were dead the whole time,” the hosts unpack which tropes they love, which they loathe, and why execution matters more than the trope itself. Blending media literacy, pop‑culture examples, and lively debate, the conversation explores how tropes give stories structure, how they can become lazy when overused, and how clever subversions keep narratives fresh and engaging. Produced by Manawatū People’s Radio with support from New Zealand On Air.

    Episode 11 - Am I Bad At Orgies

    Justin, Cam, and Zak explore the barriers that stop people from creating art, drawing on their own experiences with writing, drawing, performance and confidence. They discuss comparison, vulnerability, fear of judgement, skill development, and the misconception that creativity is only for “experts”, before wrapping up with their lightning‑round questions. Produced by Manawatū People’s Radio with support from New Zealand On Air.

    Episode 10 - Do You Like Chicken Breasts Cooked or Raw

    Hosts Cam, Zak, and guest Joel (aka drag performer Miss Terry Doll) talk all things drag — how performers develop their craft, build confidence, create community, and use art to express identity. Joel reflects on their creative journey, supportive influences, performance experiences, and hopes for the future of drag in the Manawatū. The crew also explores the importance of safe, welcoming queer spaces and ends with a quick‑fire lightning round. Produced by Manawatū People’s Radio with support from New Zealand On Air.
