We often learn best by doing. In this sweeping episode of the Saturday Brunch Podcast, Penelope Spencer shares on adaptability and passion as central to her practice as an actor, director, producer and educator. In driving towards the realness of her characters, ‘Aunty Penny’ reflects on  the importance of truth and honesty as the beauty of the craft, and the need for artists to be the catalysts for change in a society besieged by crime and violence. Recalling revolutionary moments of ‘stepping up’ and making their presence felt in the cultural space, Penelope notes the relevance of ‘fringe’ events in previous Carifesta celebrations.
