In this episode, we talk to Stephanie Lake. The former dancer turned choreographer is the artistic director of Stephanie Lake Company, and also the resident choreographer for The Australian Ballet. She’s the winner of many awards, including the Helpmann, and while her rise was stratospheric, it wasn’t always linear. It was also somewhat delayed: Lake was a late bloomer in her chosen field, dancing in her teenage years only as a hobby. Her life story starts in Canada, before taking a turn south to Tasmania, and now Melbourne. Hosting this conversation – about a journey rich in resilience, creativity and balance – is Good Weekend senior writer Konrad Marshall.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We talk about how Michael went from training at Carlson Gracie to working on a Guy Ritchie set, and how martial arts opened the door to his directing career. We dig into the making of A WOMAN SCORNED—from the co-directing process to weapon-heavy night shoots and choreographing complex action without stunt doubles. Michael shares why BJJ isn't always camera-friendly, what it was like editing his own fight scenes, and the logistical beast of directing a twin-assassin film with only one actress. We also get into the evolution of British cuisine, punchy stories about Lenny McLean, and the magic of "happy accidents" on set. Toward the end, Michael picks two of his all-time favorite movie scenes: the legendary motorcycle chase in TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY and the haunting finale of Takeshi Kitano's VIOLENT COP. Hosted by Zef Cota
