In this, our first (re-uploaded and better sounding) episode, we talk about the beginnings of MakeyUppers.

We talk about:

• How the Cinderella sketch was written by Gemma years before we met
• How we met and bonded over mutual disillusionment with the acting industry
• How we discovered that it was a feminist piece...and that we were too
• Discovering our skills and shared passion for multi-role-ing, physical theatre and clowning
• Accidental Theatre's Scratch Night in Belfast and needing deadlines
• Our subsequent realisation of how anti - feminist the sketch actually was and how we developed a new sketch in response
• How our work has always reflected where we're at in our personal lives
• What clowning is...? What great acting needs.

**PLEASE NOTE** I think 'technical issues' are the term used to explain the imperfections in the recording - I'm (Sorcha) choosing to see them as 'learning curveys'...!

P.S. The clips of the sketch are from our rehearsal before the recording - I somehow managed to not record that one... Seamless!
