Performer Trauma

This week I had the privilege of speaking to multi faceted, multi dimensional, multi talented human being River Roux!

I saw River's show 'Juice' at the Volksbühne Theatre in Berlin and I instantly wanted to speak to her - I was so fascinated 

 Her show explores the body, her body, an exploration of a gender-non conforming experience and we discuss this, the duality between theatre and sex work and everything that has led her to today and the creation of her art.

 I really hope you guys enjoy listening to our fun chat and her incredible journey so far

This week Sam and I take a trip down memory lane.

We discuss drama school memories, switching from acting to becoming a successful writer and the birth of Femme, Sam and Ng Choon Ping's BAFTA nominated short that went on to become an amazing queer noir film - she's on Netflix !

 This episode is basically a writers wet dream ! 

West End veteran Adrian Hansel regales us with tales from his long and varied career. We talk about some sensitive issues so there is a trigger warning with this episode but Adrian gives us an exciting glimpse into his world- from working with Queen, to the West End to Geri Halliwell... tea is spilt

On this episode I speak with dancer, choreographer, movement specialist extraordinaire Jordan James Bridge
 We chat everything from his career at Wayne McGregor, aspects of collaboration and choreography and knowing your worth !
 

This week...my old friend Emrhys Cooper and I sit in a park and shoot the shit!
I love this interview, it's candid and free and Em really opens up about his journey from when we met at Ballet school 20 years ago, to everything that led us to where we are today...sitting in a park. Emrhys is in Coronation Street

In this week's episode I travelled to the seaside to chat with the super talented Amy Lennox!
 We chat about everything from her drama school training, staying in questionable diggs, heartbreak, shitty agent meetings and everything that led to her incredible performance on the Olivier's stage, taking the iconic role of Sally Bowles in Cabaret

Finally back with Season 2 of 'Performer Trauma'
Kicking off the season after a two year hiatus I have the pleasure of speaking with a personal creative icon, Olivier Award winning MBE Edward Watson. Ed speaks about his amazing career, how he became a force in the dance world, his amazing collaborations and how he changed classical dance as we know it
 

On this episode I have the pleasure of catching up with stage sensation and old old friend Holly James.
A love letter from Broadway to London
Holly truly is lightening on stage, you literally cannot take your eyes off her and if you've been lucky enough to see her in a performance you'll know I'm telling the truth! 
We talk about her journey from where we both started out, at our school in Covent Garden in the 90's, to Reno...West End and now on to Broadway.
It really is all about the journey and what a colourful one it is
Holly is in a one woman show at Midnight Theatre in Hudson Yards in 2023! 

On this episode it is my honour to have Selina Mosinski, the actress behind Charity Shop Sue stop by for a chat!
 We chat about all the roads that led to her finding her Sue family, finding creative freedom and the future...and how we stopped giving a shit and how it sets you free. 
 I can't wait for yo to hear Selina's story

Joining me this week is drag superstar Willam Belli !
Actor, drag sensation, author, recording artist, make up creator... the list goes on
On this ep I speak to Willam about the origins of his drag, working on tv/film and stage and as usual the funniest on stage moments. 
Willam's interview is open, honest and frank and I cannpt thank him enough for giving me his time!
 Catch Willam touring in 'Death Drop Back in the Habit', on instagram, twitter, suck less make up and on their very own podcast 'Race Chaser' and 'Hot Goss'
