Podcast appearances and mentions of daniel monks

This weeks show is focusing on Melbourne's film scene. In the first of three interviews, Flick will chat with Director Molly Reynolds to discuss her film A PORTRAIT OF LOVE. For over twenty years, Archibald Prize-winning artist Craig Ruddy and his partner Roberto Meza Mont filmed their life together.Their friend, documentary-maker Molly Reynolds (MY NAME IS GULPILIL) spent months immersed in Roberto's footage to craft an intimate portrait of their relationship, from over 5000 pieces of footage. We then hear from local director Timothy Despina Marshall about his debut feature IN THE ROOM WHERE HE WAITS, starring Daniel Monks. Having recently premiered at the 2024 Mardi Gras Film Festival earlier this year, this fresh psychological thriller is a claustrophobic story of grief and abandonment set in the close quarters of a hotel room during lockdown.Primal Screen's third guests are the Naarm/Birrarung Ga/Makassar Sulawesi, Indonesia-based film collective, Dogmilk Films. Local and independently run, @dogmilkfilms produces and makes space for alternative film and sound works. The collective places emphasis on cinema that pushes the boundaries of form and exhibition, which makes them an intersection for creative enquiry and exploration. Flick speaks with Lola Hewison, John Hewison and Sofie McClure about the screening of short-form works Dogmilk is curating for 2024 St. Kilda Film Festival.

After arriving onto the London theatre scene. Daniel Monks has established himself as one of the most exciting actors around. He is now currently back at the Donmar Warehouse in Benedict Andrews' adaptation of The Cherry Orchard. He was last seen on stage in Jamie Lloyd's acclaimed production of The Seagull where he played the iconic role of Konstantin opposite Emilia Clarke and Indira Varma. Now as Pyotr Trofimov, he is once again demonstrating his prowess as an actor to audiences, and it is likely we'll see more spellbinding performances from him in the future.In this brand new interview with Daniel Monks, he talks to us about his London theatre career, looking back on highlights like The Normal Heart and The Seagull. He talks fondly of his time coming to London from Perth, Australia and the journey he has made from writing and directing to coming back to acting.  In our interview, Daniel also talks candidly about the ongoing struggles disable actors in the industry face, commenting specifically on the recent controversy around Shakespeare's Globe's casting of Michelle Terry in the role of Richard III. Still, he is encouraged by the progress made in London with actors like Lizzie Annis and Francesca Mills also delivering strong impacts on the industry. We also talk about the trailblazing directors he's worked with like Benedict Andrews and Jamie Lloyd who Daniel praises for having such courage to reimagine classic works. He also praises outgoing artistic director Michael Longhurst for his vision and openness to reimagining Richard III as Teenage Dick, bringing his talent to the consciousness of London audiences. It's a fascinating discussion and we look forward to seeing what else he does next in the future.

Daniel Monks is an award winning theatre and film actor who hails from Perth, Western Australia. He received an AACTA nomination for Best Actor in a Leading Role for the feature film Pulse, a story about a disabled teen who undergoes radical surgery to turn into a beautiful woman in a bid to be loved and embraced. Daniel wrote the script and worked with his close friend, Stevie Cruz-Martin, as a director. It's a film that helped launch his career as an actor in both Australia and London, where he has performed opposite Emilia Clarke in The Seagull, and where he won the Best Performer in a Play award at The Stage Debut Awards for his turn in Teenage Dick, Michael Lew's darkly comedic retelling of Richard III.When I first watched Pulse, I saw an actor who brought a complicated and conflicted character to life on screen with deep empathy and understanding. We open the discussion by talking about the origins of Pulse, leading Daniel to reflect on the almost ten-year journey between that film being shot and now. In that decade-long career path, Daniel has also starred in Australian films like Sissy, and Timothy Despina Marshall's new film, In the Room Where He Waits.His place in the world of theatre and film as a gay, disabled actor has seen him become a leader in his field, forging a path for his fellow queer and disabled actors. We talk about the weight of responsibility that often comes with the role of being a leader, while also touching on the push for diversity on stage and on screen, and how Daniel navigates that when it's often driven by non-disabled, cisgender, straight, white people.As you'll hear in the following interview, Daniel is a 'bucket list' interview guest I've been eager to talk with for years. I was fortunate to chat with Daniel's mum, Annie Murtagh-Monks, a few years ago about her work as a casting director, so it was quite wonderful to hear about the conversations that she has with Daniel about their work. Daniel also talks about the support that filmmakers like Stevie Cruz-Martin and Hannah Barlow have given him throughout his career.I recorded this ahead of the world premier of In the Room Where He Waits at the QueerScreen Mardi Gras Film Festival, where it received Queer Screen Completion Funding. This stunning drama sees Daniel play the role of Tobin, an actor who slips back home to Australia for his father's funeral. As he waits out his two week quarantine period, he is haunted by the presence of the previous tenant in the room. This riveting film sees Daniel command the screen in a way that will have you leaning on the edge of your seat - not because of how tense the film is, but simply because of how compelling Daniel is to watch. The film will no doubt screen down the line at other festivals, so please keep an eye out for it.This is a long, deep dive discussion which I'm proud to be able to share with you all. Make sure to seek out Pulse, Sissy, In the Room Where He Waits, and visit National Theatre At Home to view The Seagull.Thank you for listening to this episode of The Curb podcast.

Daniel Monks has always had a passion for performing. Spending his early years crafting lounge-room plays and even adapting Peter Pan for his Year 2 class.But when Daniel was just 11 years old, doctors discovered a rare tumour on his spine which resulted in partial paralysis to the right side of Daniel's body. Frustrated by a body that felt unfamiliar, Daniel set aside his dreams of performing and embraced roles behind the scenes as a producer, writer, and director.Fast forward two decades, and Daniel's journey takes a remarkable turn. He has rekindled his passion for acting, now thriving as a performer in London. Recently gracing the West End stage alongside Emilia Clarke. This podcast was made on the land of the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Daniel Monks is a writer, actor, producer and disability rights activist. He works in both film and stage. The film he wrote and starred in "Pulse" was screened at the Queerscreen's 25th Mardi Gras Film Festival. In 2017 he starred in The Real and Imagined History of The Elephant Man at the Malthouse Theatre. It was my personal favourite theatre production of 2017.
