Episode 6: MAKE it WORK Podcast: We talk to 2 members of Silent Faces Theatre Company (Josie Underwood, and Cordelia Stevenson) about their show Godot is a Woman. The importance of inclusivity in their rehearsal room. How they deal with imposter syndrome, and their devising process.

In this episode we talk to Christopher J (AKA Kit) Orton about how sometimes having too many ideas can actually be a problem, and how he juggles and prioritises all his creative projects.

In this episode we speak to Sam Cochrane about the work of his company Gigglemug, selling out their latest musical "Scouts" at The Other Palace and having to extend the run, and how creating his own shows gave him more confidence to pursue his dream of writing for TV.

In this episode we speak to Anca Vaida a Romanian actress, director, writer and producer based in London. We learn about Anca's most recent project--the TV Series “Psyched!”--a medical drama focused on mental health topics which she wrote, directed, produced and starred in.

"Psyched!" has received over 50 awards and official selections at International film festivals, including Anca's 7 Best Actress wins and 6 Best Director wins and nominations. Anca tells us what gave her the drive to stop waiting around for other people to give her roles and start making her own. We also chat about how making her own work has changed her career.
