  • 7: Acting Research: Interview with a Former Sniper and Special Forces Officer

    When the bullets flew... he was shot 14 times. Derrick McManus's story (now retired Australian Special Operations police officer), is nothing short of a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. He joins us to recount how he faced some of the most perilous situations in the line of duty. This very day that could have been his last.

    As an action actress, I am obsessed with these kind of roles. What better way to research a character than to interview someone who's lived it in real life?

    Imagine lying wounded for hours, counting the minutes slipping away, as your body begins to shut down. In this episode, we explore the psychological fortitude it takes to not just endure but also prepare and recover from such extreme realities. It's a masterclass in harnessing fear, the importance of training, and the mindset required to remain grounded in the midst of chaos.

    Derrick has now set up his own coaching and speaking business based on the wisdom and life lessons gathered. Human Durability, a philosophy that has helped people and entire organisations facing their darkest hours. As he shares his ongoing mission to inspire and educate, it's clear that Derrick's story is more than one man's survival; it's a blueprint for overcoming adversity, a narrative that resonates with anyone who's ever had to fight to get back on their feet. Join us for a conversation that will leave you awed by the strength of the human soul.

    As an actress and human being... I felt pumped, touched, moved and so inspired after this interview!

  • 6: Krump Dancer and Barber: Creating an Empire of Transformation

    Krump is a dynamic and expressive dance style that originated in South Los Angeles. As a powerful form of self-expression, it allows dancers to release pent-up emotions. This dance style emphasises the importance of community and provides many young adults with a positive lifestyle alternative in an area where joining gangs or following the wrong path is not uncommon.

    When longtime friend Fudd, founder of the Demolition Crew, joined me for a conversation, the complex tapestry of his upbringing unraveled. In an environment where the lines between Blood and Crip territories are blurred, it was his mum's parties and her community-building spirit that offered him a sanctuary from the harsh realities of street life.

    As we reminisce about spirited late-night Krump sessions in Fudd's local barbershop, it becomes clear that this space transformed into a refuge, a haven of peace and togetherness, for Krump dancers and young adults seeking guidance.

    The Demolition Crew's T-shirt designs symbolise the resilience and healing power of dance. Today, Fudd advocates for mental wellness and supports community members through various activities, including Krump dance events, business mentorship, and mental health discussion groups. His barbershop is becoming a true cultural center, unlike anything you've ever seen.

    Our conversation not only reflects on the past and our memories of our first Krump theatre show but also serves as a call to action to empower the next generation of leaders. Fudd and I explore the importance of mentorship and breaking generational patterns of negative behavior that no longer serve us. Fudd is a role model who didn't fully grasp his potential until he stepped into his role as a leader.

    Demolition Crew's next venture is the creation of a cultural center and a nonprofit to expand the reach of their transformational work.

    PS: In the Krump World, I am Lady Fudd
