After two years of supporting each other’s music projects to tour across Europe and the UK, Brea Robertson and Poppy Rose decided to work on a project they could do closer to home. Art-Work the podcast was born! Why Art-Work? We want to provide a platform for multi-disciplinary artists to share their work, their passion and their journey with a broader audience. We hope that people from all backgrounds will hear these stories and gain a deeper understanding into the minds, the life and the process of creative people from all over the world. We also want to shine a spotlight on independent artists who are not well known, to celebrate their stories and challenge the idea that to be successful in the arts, you need notoriety. So far, we have been amazed at the conversations we’ve had with artists from Canada, England, Germany, Australia, the USA, Norway and India. Stories of challenging social systems in India to pursue a passion, using the arts to fight political battles in Norway, discussing the art of balancing multiple projects as an artist, using music as a therapy in refugee camps across Europe and more. Every human has an incredible story, and we can’t wait to share some with you! Find us on Spotify, Google, Apple podcasts and Soundcloud.
Ever heard of post-porn clowning? Soon it will become a household term when ABA NAIA take over the world with their incredible Berlin-based Latin-American-European performance collective! Today we had the honour of speaking with Teija and Jaika, two members of ABA NAIA. Since 2017, the collective have been exploring topics of sexuality with a comedic approach. With tools of post-porn clowning they question gender norms and its expectations, as well as the myths and stereotypes of femininity and desire. They say, “Our bodies, our sexuality and our vulnerability are our political weapons on stage. We battle the boundaries between cheerfulness and discomfort. We want to inspire and encourage our audience, to question their perceptions on freedom of self expression, sexuality, equality and pleasure.” All of this comes together in their post-porn clowning lecture performance, We Can Do It Moaning. In this episode, Teija and Jaika tell us about how practising things that make us feel awkward help to normalise it, how powerful comedy is when venturing into awkward or difficult topics of conversation, and how important vulnerability is when wanting to be funny...the clown helps us see a reflection of ourselves in our most vulnerable place.

Ever wondered what it's like to be part of a huge Netflix show production? Our artist today is actor and singer Sam Otto, who plays John Osweiller in the hit Netflix dystopian drama, Snowpiercer. Sam studied at Drama School London, but left his course early to perform in Richard Wilson's ‘Fracked!' at Chichester Festival Theatre. He then secured the lead role in Peter Kosminsky's explosive drama, ‘The State', in which 4 young British citizens journey to Syria to join ISIS. The show went on to receive a BAFTA nomination in the miniseries category. In this episode we talk about finding your voice when working on a big studio tv production as a relative newcomer, maintaining a creative practice outside the ‘job', how Sam is navigating how to make the most of his colour and race when auditioning for roles, without being defined by it... and so much more. We loved meeting Sam and felt really honoured at how candidly he shared with us about his acting journey. Follow Sam online...

Creating is not a perfect, linear journey; and today we talk all about embracing the mess in our process with Danish-born, Berlin-based movement artist, singer and musician, Kat Polar. As an artist and creator Kat's passion is to be what she creates, to observe and live inside of it. She also explores the discipline of resisting the "fast-pace" production that is all consuming in our capitalist world, especially when it comes to promoting and sharing your art as a polished and perfect product on social media. In this episode we talk about entering the flow state while creating, the balance between being an artist and having to exist in a capitalist world, how to be authentic on social media, and how as artists we have the power to create our own realities... including our definition of success.

Can you be a parent AND start a career as an independent artist? YES. Our artist today is German singer-songwriter, producer, and father, Robert Horace. In 2018, Robert left his full time job as a chef to pursue his dream of being a musician. He dove into the deep end of releasing his first EP ‘Take Off' while learning all about branding, performing, writing and adapting to life as an artist. It was also at that time that Robert and his girlfriend decided to have a baby. In this episode Robert candidly shares with us the joys and challenges of balancing life as a parent and an independent musician, the importance of building an authentic brand, and we talk about how we cannot "fail" being artists. Robert is the first parent we have talked to on the podcast, and we are so excited to share his story. For any artists considering having children, or for parents who are trying to balance their career and parenthood, we hope that Robert's story encourages you and assures you that you're not alone.

What's your main inspiration for your art? For Ellie, it's the ocean. Photographing the sea and its many moods has been her creative outlet since she was young. This flowed into the creation of her business, Island Ceramics, where she creates beautiful ceramic tableware pieces inspired by the tones and textures to be found around the coastline of Shetland, the most northerly islands in Scotland. In this episode we talk about how to get started in a creative business, the importance that nature has in our creative process, fully believing in the art that you are making, and how we can support artists who are committed to sustainability and protecting our Earth.

How can 450 year-old plays still have meaning in the theatre today? Charlie Dupré tells us how Shakespeare has hugely influenced his practice as a playwright, actor and spoken word artist. Charlie is from London, currently based in Berlin, and has taken multiple shows to Edinburgh Fringe Festival including 'The Stories of Shakey P' which re-imagined Shakespeare as a playground battle rapper, and 'Macblair' which told the story of Tony Blair as a Macbeth-style tragicomedy. It played the Brighton and Edinburgh Fringes to critical success, and Charlie tells us all about his experience taking his independent shows to these festivals and shares some amazing practical tips of things he's learnt along the way. In the last couple of years Charlie has moved away from pursuing an acting career to discovering a love of playwriting. In this episode we talk about the importance of staying open to trying new things and how your path will reveal itself. We also talk about Charlie's love of Shakespeare and reinventing his stories and plays with a current and topical twist, how theatre can be an amazing space to open discussion about politics and other important issues (especially in today's polarised climate), and we also get a special performance of some excerpts from his plays and some wonderful spoken word!

Ivy tells us all about Éclat, its purpose to provide a safe space for creating music, and how she secured funding for this amazing community venture. In this episode Ivy told us about the grieving process she went through when she let go of her past acoustic project, but how much joy her new path of electronic music has brought her.

The Art-Work Podcast is officially 1 year old! So we thought we'd celebrate with a fun, chatty, honest Q&A episode with your hosts, Brea & Poppy. We talked about things like... Where did the idea of starting the Art-Work podcast come from? How do you even start a podcast? How do you manage working with your best friend? How do you find the artists to talk to? What’s your favourite thing about being an artist? And so much more! We also feature some of the inspiring words of wisdom that our artists have shared in recent episodes as the sprinkles on top of the podcast birthday cake(and as a little reminder to go through our back catalogue and catch up on any conversations you've missed!) A huge huge thank you to all of the incredible artists we've had on the podcast over this past year. It's been a joy and a privilege to be able to share your stories and learn from your journey. And huge huge thank you to you, our listeners. We're so grateful for your ongoing support with this project; keep listening, keep sharing it with your friends, and share it on your Instagram or your Facebook, so we can share these amazing and inspiring stories with as many ears as possible. A little update going forward: from June, we'll be releasing our episodes every other week, instead of weekly. We want to be able to put 100% effort into each and every episode of the podcast, to really celebrate each artist and their story, and we've decided to give ourselves a bit more time so we can be super happy and proud of each episode.

Let's talk about telling important stories. Theo Toksvig Stewart is a dyslexic writer and actor who trained at the Drama Centre London, and he wrote his first play Endless Second during a particularly dry audition spell. Endless Second deals with consent within a relationship and it received multiple five-star reviews as well as being shortlisted for two awards at the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe. It was then commissioned as an audio adaptation which was transmitted on BBC Radio 4 in March 2021. Alongside developing television ideas, Theo has been commissioned for a number of theatre projects and was part of the BBC Writersroom Drama Room scheme and the Minack Playwrights Programme. We talked about so much in this episode: Theo reminds us that what we do does not inform our whole identity, how he’s managed to lay down boundaries between work and life, the importance of asking if you’re the right person to tell a story as a writer, and his experience of taking a show to Edinburgh Fringe. We’d never met Theo before, and by the end of the conversation we felt like we’d known him for years. He opened up about the challenges he’s experienced as an actor and writer and offered a lot of wisdom from the journey he’s taken. Before you listen to this episode, please be aware that we talk quite candidly about rape and consent because of Theo’s play, Endless Second. We just want to let you so that you can make the decision that protects you.

Let's talk about networking... or how about, building strong friendships with individual people beyond their job title? That's what Maanuni is all about. Our artist today, Maanuni, is an Indian singer-songwriter, voice artist, and vocal coach. Her passion for music has paved the way to a successful career full of diversity. She has worked on the background scores of multiple Bollywood Movies and a Disney+ web series, collaborated with recording artists from many genres to release music, and is getting ready to release her very own music soon. Maanuni is also a passionate vocal coach who loves to share her knowledge with her students... she’s had over 100 of them! In this episode, Maanuni shares with us the importance of authentic networking and building friendships instead of ‘contacts’ in the music industry, the lessons she’s learned about taking care of her mental health, and she helps us reframe our outlook on “competition” from jealousy to celebration, appreciation and gratitude. We also heard about how the pandemic has affected Maanuni and her family, and the reality of what it’s like living in India during this unfathomable time, especially from an independent artist’s perspective. Maanuni is truly an incredibly wise woman and artist. We LOVED this conversation and we know you will too.

Where are you from? Do you eat kimchi every day? What Asian are you? These are all things Phoebe is asked on a regular basis, and she has used these daily racist remarks to inspire and title her incredible thought-provoking paintings. Phoebe Kim is a Korean-Australian visual artist currently residing in Berlin. Her works are inspired by personal encounters and conversations that reflect on discrimination, racism and question self-identity. In this episode we talk about how everyday racism has become the norm for Phoebe and how she responds to that through her art, what it’s like to move to a brand new city on the other side of the world to pursue a creative dream, and ways that Phoebe is making her art accessible for everyone - including her "Art To-Go" series of art works on coffee cups!

If you're in need of a passionate pep talk about how vital the arts are, and how each one of us has something extremely valuable to contribute, then this is the podcast for you. This week we spoke with Rev Dr David William Parry, a published author, poet, dramatist, TEDx speaker, and queer pastor of Valentine’s Hall, a Metropolitan Community Church Oasis founded in South London. He is also the co-founder and curator of Extremists Club which later became Free Speech Club, a project he talks about in the episode that brought people from all walks of life together in discussion. In this episode we talk about how we’ve never needed the arts more than right now, the power the arts have in bringing people from different lines of thought together, and we were even gifted an impromptu recitation of David’s first poem, Miranda!

Could you leave a stable job to follow your heart and pursue your artistic passions? Do you embrace your body and your beautiful feminine energy - regardless of your gender? This week we talk about all this and more with the incredible multifaceted artist, Eléonore Clemente. Eléonore is a French singer-songwriter, massage-therapist and Burlesque performer who one year ago quit her well-paid and stable job in the famous music software company, Ableton, to pursue her artistic passions. In this episode we talk about the dilemma artists often face when juggling more than one passion or project... should I just choose ONE? Sometimes we need one to give us energy for the other; one to feed our souls, one to serve others, and so on. We also talk about how empowering burlesque dancing has been for Eléonore by encouraging her to celebrate her beauty and her body in a safe space. This episode really felt like a celebration of following your dreams, embracing who you are and learning to speak your truth. We absolutely loved it! Follow Eléonore's journey...

Are you super clear on why you are creating your art? In this episode we talk with faith-based RnB singer-songwriter Asha Elia about defining your why, and holding onto those reasons when you feel disillusioned by the industry, the importance of surrounding yourself with a like-minded supportive community, Asha’s experience of being a part of two worlds... the music industry and the Christian community, and how the artist’s journey is always a step by step process. After finding a faith in Christianity while studying accounting, Asha Elia struggled to find the uplifting type of RnB music she wanted to listen to. So... she resolved to write it herself! With no musical background or prior intentions of becoming a musician, Asha’s desire to create empowering music has taken her on a journey she never expected. She now has over 40,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and her songs have been listened to well over 1,000,000 times.

Let's talk about toxic masculinity in the music industry. This week we spoke to Oh Papa, a Sheffield-based 4 piece band, made up of Jack, Ric, Felix and Phil, who blend together facets of Americana, soft rock, subtle surf and indie in their music. Striving to change the perception of what it means to be an indie band from Yorkshire and dispel the toxic masculinity that has been prevalent in the indie rock scene, the members of Oh Papa actively take steps to challenge the culture they see around them. In this episode we talk with lead singer, Jack, and drummer, Felix, about finding a balanced dynamic within a group creative project, addressing inclusivity within the music industry, dismantling ideas of toxicity and competition, and the importance of looking after your mental health when we are so often told to work harder. The pair also give us a glimpse into the hilarious world of Oh Papa including their three WhatsApp groups for positive, negative and business talk. It’s a great conversation with lots of inspiring insights from two seasoned musicians. Follow Oh Papa & listen to their music...

Our artist this week is Diana Galminzyanova, a film maker and video artist based in Moscow, Russia. Her award-winning short films have been accepted to more than 70 festivals in 20 countries, and her art pieces have been a part of group exhibitions all over the world. Her award-winning debut feature film, The Lightest Darkness, was the first ever female-directed Russian film noir. She is now working on her next project, a horror-comedy called Murder Girl, which she tells us all about in the episode. Diana blew us away with her perspective on how art can challenge the status quo, the importance of women supporting women, and how she uses her artistry to share the voices of those who don’t always have that power themselves. We found Diana and her art through Instagram and it was so incredible that although the three of us had never met and were all in and we’re all from different countries, we each felt such a strong connection throughout this conversation. It was amazing to hear from a fellow female creative that she is passionate about similar things as we are. We hope that this episode is a huge encouragement to you that there are people all over the world doing what they can to make a positive difference through art.

Our artist today is Amarnah Ufuoma Cleopatra Osajivbe-Amuludun, a dance artist, movement teacher, personal trainer, choreographer, singer/songwriter, actress and hairdresser. In this episode we talk about our strength as artists to adapt and embrace new creative forms, the importance of persistence and patience while building a sustainable career, the value of rest and so much more. Although an injury forced Amarnah to take some time away from dance, she graduated from London Contemporary Dance School in 2015 and has worked across dance and theatre forms on stages, for TV, short films, music videos and gallery spaces worldwide. Music has also been a major passion and inspiration to Amarnah. Recently she has been collaborating with musicians, and at the end of 2020 she released her first Single in a collaborative album "Vol 1: Refuge" with the collective Scrapbook Mixtape under her artist name Queen Cleopatra.

Have your dreams and goals shifted and evolved since the start of the pandemic? Are you feeling called to change lanes or change direction completely, but feeling a pressure that you HAVE to finish what you set out to do? In this episode we talk with Greek-Australian Actor & Creator, Bianca Zouppas, about redefining success, the importance of following your gut instinct, and letting go of expectation. Acting for stage and screen has been, and continues to be Bianca’s passion. She spent her time between Australia and the US, but since the interference of COVID and having her time during pilot season in LA cut short, Bianca decided to return to Brisbane to pursue her first love of theatre once again. As well as performing, Bianca’s passion for fostering supportive and sincere connections between people in the creative industry led her to create CALI - Creative Artistic Ladies Incorporated - which she has been running since 2018. CALI is a place for creatives to come together and flex their creative muscles in an array of hands-on workshops. Bianca also coaches young people, who inspire her and keep the passion for performing alive. In this episode, Bianca tells us what pilot season in LA is like, and the necessity of asking yourself what really makes you happy and allowing your goals to shift and change as you grow. We also talk about redefining success, the joys of creating your own project, and the importance of supporting other women.

Ever thought about performing on cruise ships? Or felt like you want to rebrand your art project but are too scared? Or like you need better boundaries in place for a healthier art-work-life balance? This week we had an AMAZING conversation about all of those things and more with Indie-Pop Duo, Bitter Trick; Aka, Katherine and Marcus. They tell us about the time they spent performing commercially on Brittany Ferries and in a hotel in Thailand, offering some practical ideas and insight for artists wanting to work on commercial cruises or in hotels around the world. While working abroad, Katherine and Marcus had the opportunity to reflect on the music they wanted to create resulting in a complete rebrand. Their new project Bitter Trick is an indie-pop duo and they've just released their latest single ‘Say No’, about having the strength to stick up for what you believe in. Their new EP Climb is coming soon! In this episode we talk about recognising and embracing our core values; honing professional persistence and consistency, Katherine and Marcus’ perspective on re-branding themselves in a way that feels more honest and developing a healthy work-life balance... especially when your creative project partner is also your life partner!

Ever wondered how a show makes it on to the TV? Our artists today are Australian animators Mark Nicholson and Sebastian Peart, founders of Stepmates and creators of the Australian TV Show 'Regular Old Bogan'. At its core, Stepmates is the combined devotion of Mark and Seb to “Make Australia Funny Again” with animated satire that dances on the line of what constitutes taboo in the current political climate. They have rapidly captured the attention of audiences with their uniquely Australian sense of humour and the ability to condense an oftentimes critically overthought topic to a key statement. In 2019, the Seven Network, a national Australian TV network, commissioned Stepmates to produce the first series of Regular Old Bogan which hit Australian screens in August 2020... and most things are still held together with duct tape! In this episode we talk about persisting through disappointing times, how to pitch a show to a TV network, staying true to your brand and ideas, and the magic that can happen when artists take action. (Just to warn you, this episode contains some strong language.) Follow Stepmates...

Have you ever thought about trading with other artists instead of just using money? Today's guest is Tessa Robertson, (Brea's sister!) an absolutely incredible woman, ceramicist, creative, artist, and free-spirt here to inspire us all in so many ways. Tessa’s creativity derives from her experiences in nature, and her interest in ceramics was sparked in the height of COVID-19, when her area went into isolation. What began as a hobby, has now grown into something much more...her online Instagram business The Forest Floor. But Tessa doesn’t limit herself to ceramics. In this episode she talks about her love for expressing herself creatively through many mediums and her openness to learning and trying new things that bring her joy. She talks about her passion for trading and collaborating with other artists to build a stronger creative community and how an encounter with a bear in Canada inspired the name and ethos of her brand.

Finding your voice and figuring out what you want to say with your art, takes time. This week's artist is Joey Ryan, aka ORIAN, who has evolved with his music over the years: from metal in his adolescence, to acoustic in his early twenties, to pure pop, and now finally finding a middle ground and finding his voice in the indie-alternative-atmospheric world.

How many times have you been told 'no'? How do you deal with rejection? How do you continue to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and carry on? This week's artist - British dancer, teacher and choreographer, Katie Kelly - tells us how she does it, and how perseverance paid off. Katie has spent years travelling around Europe auditioning for dance companies, believing that that was the most sure way to secure a sustainable career in dance. Oftentimes, she would return home feeling dejected. Yet her passion for dance remained unwavered. After stepping back from dance work to give herself some time to rest, travel and explore other options at the start of this year, dance came back to her in an amazing opportunity to teach and choreograph full time at a vocational school in Freiburg, South Germany. In this episode we talk about overcoming rejection, not giving up, and the power of letting go.

How can we tackle issues such as colourism and intergenerational conflict within communities? With theatre of course! This week's guest is director, playwright and theatre maker, Grace Edward. Grace has an incredible story; born in South Sudan, Grace left their homeland at 3 years old on their mother’s back. Grace’s family moved from place to place for a few years, including a refugee camp in Kenya, until they moved to Australia when Grace was 8 years old. They studied Applied Theatre alongside our host, Brea, and strongly believe in the power of storytelling as a tool to understand one another better. Through their creative projects, Grace explores different aspects of what it means to be a third-culture child and a person of colour, living in Australia today. They have co-written, produced and directed two theatre productions in Brisbane ‘Linking generations: A forum theatre play’ and ‘Skin Deep’ which explored the ideology of colourism within People of Colour Communities. Grace has spoken around Australia on a range of issues including youth leadership, education, health, intergenerational conflict, systemic racism, and displacement. Grace now draws from their life experience to create theatre that tells the real stories of people in their community. Be sure to follow Grace...

Or how to look after your mental health while life is hectic and you're doing a million things? Today's episode is with Holly Barnard, a British director, theatre maker and performer who divides her time working between London and Berlin.

Ever wondered about the pros and cons of being an independent artist vs. being signed to a major record label? This week's artist is singer-songwriter, Freddie Dickson, a good friend of ours, and a key part of Berlin independent music scene. A few years ago, Lily Allen discovered Freddie's music and he was signed to Columbia Records in London. After awhile, he realised the music he was making wasn't true to his sound and who he wanted to be, so they parted ways and Freddie started a new chapter in Berlin. In this episode, we discuss mental health, how Freddie would love his music to be listened to, and the differences he has experienced personally between being signed to a major label, and pursuing music independently. Check out all of Freddie's music: (and make sure to listen to it with good speakers/headphones in the dark after a few wines ;) ) Freddie Dickson: https://linktr.ee/freddiedickson Lucile: youtu.be/2R-AP0pv1q8 Mad Eye: youtu.be/vLYAujYgXKc Join the Art-Work Community Facebook Group to connect with other creatives, share your art, and continue the conversation about the joys and challenges of living an artistic life! https://www.facebook.com/groups/370788747316965 Thank you so much for listening to this week's episode of Art-Work.

We're 10 conversations in to the Art-Work Podcast, so we thought this week we would pour ourselves a gin and tonic, sit down just us two (your hosts, Poppy and Brea) for a good old chat, reflect on what we've learnt so far, and ask each other some questions about life. Little disclaimer: this was the first episode we recorded in person together and we only used one microphone so some parts of the episode are a little bit quiet as Poppy speaks a bit softly; maybe listen on headphones or in a quite space this week.

Today’s episode is with Nick Vaky – a film director, writer and editor who grew up in Hawaii, studied in Boston, and now lives in Taiwan. In this cross continental interview, we discuss how to create a film without endless resources, how to fight through self-doubt and how chance encounters can sometimes be instrumental to our life’s journey. Nick has worked on so many exciting projects which we talk about in this episode. For instance, one of Nick’s short films, ‘Everything Rises’, was chosen to be featured at the Cannes Film Festival in 2020. He also worked on a project called ‘The World is your Ashtray’, where he documented the waste of cigarette butts, demonstrating how these seemingly insignificant pieces of litter are polluting the landscape of important locations. And he has recently started the YouTube channel ‘Mint Volcano’, where he and friends review and analyse Taiwanese cinema, sharing the love for Asian/Taiwanese films and TV shows with global audience.

Today's episode is with Indian singer-songwriter, Jatin Khurana. In this conversation, we talk about Jatin's huge decision to walk away from studying engineering to pursue his dream of music - a very unusual path to take in India, where there is a lot of societal pressure to study engineering and sciences. We talk about how important Jatin’s community of fellow musicians in Mumbai have been to his success, and how he has fused his Indian roots and Hindi language with western styles of music to create something new and original within the Indian music scene. He's an incredible artist and we are so excited to share this conversation with you! Since we recorded this episode, Jatin's single 'Kaidee' has been featured in Rolling Stone India's Monthly Playlist - how cool is that!?
