Podcasts about Freestyle Love Supreme

Anthony Veneziale and Aneesa Folds return to the podcast with the same brilliance and warmth that made their first appearances unforgettable—this time teaming up to talk about their new boundary-breaking musical, Co-Founders, premiering at ACT in San Francisco. With its Bay Area hip hop roots, tech satire, and cutting-edge stage visuals powered by Unreal Engine, the show challenges both theatrical norms and late-stage capitalism, all while telling a deeply personal story about representation, equity, and belonging. We unpack the eight-year journey behind the show's creation, how Aneesa came aboard, and how both artists bring authenticity and heart into every moment—onstage and off. We also dive into hip hop's regional influence on the show's score, the emotional toll of being labeled a “breakout star,” and why community and kindness are non-negotiable parts of the creative process. And if that's not enough, we improvise the plot of a musical called Mystical Desperate Zebras. This episode is a celebration of art that disrupts, heals, and uplifts—don't miss it. Anthony Veneziale is a Tony Award-winning co-creator of Freestyle Love Supreme and co-founder of FLS Academy. He's known for blending freestyle rap with neuroscience and education to foster creativity and collaboration. Aneesa Folds made her Broadway debut in Freestyle Love Supreme and has since become a standout performer and educator, known for her powerhouse presence and vibrant improvisational skills. Together, they now star in Co-Founders, a new musical blending activism, technology, and Bay Area hip hop culture.

Vanessa Magula went from being a Hamilton superfan studying pre-health at UCLA to being cast as the standby for all three Schuyler sisters on the Philip tour. No, for real. Vanessa has always been a self-described theatre kid, evidenced by the fact that Deaf West's Spring Awakening is what inspired her to minor in Disability Studies, but it took her a while to take the leap and be a full time performer. After going to an open call for Hamilton in 2016 and being given a literal golden ticket for a callback, everything changed as Vanessa realized that - whether she booked Hamilton or not - this is what she wanted to do. In between yearly Hamilton auditions, Vanessa thrived in the New York City improv comedy scene and even ended up collecting Yondr pouches during Freestyle Love Supreme's Broadway run. Come join our instant bff vibes as we talk about our love of Hamilton (Vanessa saw it in September of 2015 hello!), Anessa Folds, Utkarsh Ambudkar (UTK), Lin's Warriors, and tons of other stuff.

Tony-winning Broadway star James Monroe Iglehart (Disney's Aladdin) sits down with The Art of Kindness with Robert Peterpaul podcast to discuss how kindness has led to opportunities as a performer, his new shows What A Wonderful World and Spamalot, plus much more. James Monroe Iglehart is a multi-award-winning actor of stage and screen. You may have seen him light up Broadway in shows like Hamilton, where he played the dual roles of Lafayette and Jefferson, Chicago as Billy Flynn, and the Broadway hit Freestyle Love Supreme. Of course, James is perhaps best known for his Tony Award-winning performance as the Genie in Disney's Aladdin on Broadway. The California native has been booked and busy this season, starring as Louis Armstrong in the new musical A Wonderful World and then going straight into the Broadway revival of Spamalot. James plays King Arthur in the musical comedy lovingly ripped off from the film classic Monty Python and the Holy Grail. We, of course, dive into both of these shows! On screen, you may have seen James in series like “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”, “Maniac”, “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” or "Sesame Street", and films like “Disenchanted.” He has also voiced many animated characters in shows like Disney's “Rapunzel's Tangled Adventures” and “DuckTales”, as well as “Blues Clues.” Fun fact: James is a self proclaimed comic book nerd who has written three comic book stories for Marvel Comics and co-hosts the Marvel Comic podcast “This Week in Marvel” on SiriusXM. When he's not on stage, he's usually watching pro wrestling or Disney+ while chilling out with his wife of over 20 years, Dawn.

Make sure to stream the entire 21 song UP HERE soundtrack everywhere you find your music. Director Tommy Kail and choreographer Sonya Tayeh have teamed up for the first time in Hulu's new rom-com musical, “Up Here”.

Tommy also shares his deal with Disney, putting a musical on mainstream TV and how Kirsten and Bobby's ability to make musical comedy resonated with him. While Sonya has done numerous projects and won awards already, the choreographer shares open up about dealing with imposter syndrome, calling it "big, old, scary monsters" and why she loves physicalizing them. Working as the director and choreographer for "Up Here", both Tommy and Sonya share how they operate, including collaborating with other creatives and shooting with at least two cameras at all times. Sonya reflects more on her love for collaborating, trying out all the options, starting a conversation and hearing what her collaborators have to say. Tommy, on the other hand, speaks about consciously surrounding himself with talented people that make him a better person. With Sonya and Tommy's love for collaborating, it's no surprise that the two found each other to create something beautiful. Sonya Tayeh is a TONY Award-winning choreographer and director.

Sonya has recently joined the creative team for the upcoming production of "Gatsby" and “The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window” and is gearing up for the world premiere of “Is It Thursday Yet?”, a play that she directed, co-choreographed and co-conceived. Tommy Kail is a theatre director known for directing the Off-Broadway and Broadway productions of Lin-Manuel Miranda's musicals “In the Heights” and “Hamilton” for which he won the 2016 Tony Award for Best Direction of Musical. His other credits include “Lombardi”, “Magic/Bird”, “Randy Newman's Faust and The Wiz”, “Broke-ology”, “When I Come to Die”, “Family Furniture”, and “The Tutors” among others.

Freestyle Love Supreme @ Pasadena Playhouse in Pasadena 7.7 out of 10 - Above Average! July 12-Aug 7,2022. www.latheatrebites.com

The side of the bus had a huge sign which read “Freestyle Love Supreme.” I had never heard of that so I checked it out and discovered that it is a theater production which is playing in town. Okay, that's interesting. But what I actually thought of on reading that title was the love of God.  The word “supreme” means “superior to all others.” So when I see the words “love supreme” I think of God and His unparalleled love for us – for you. Are you feeling lonely and unloved today? I want to encourage you with the truth that God loves you deeply. He loves you more than anyone else ever could. His love is supreme. The Apostle John wrote: “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!” God made you, loves you dearly, and wants you to be His child.  Won't you receive Him today? To find out how to do that, go to hopewithgod.com This is Andrew Palau. radio.hopewithgod.com This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

What happens in someone's brain when they're freestyling or doing improv comedy? Anthony Veneziale - a Philadelphia native who started Freestyle Love Supreme with Lin-Manuel Miranda - has actually been studying that, and teaching others how to harness the skills of freestyle for their everyday lives through FLS Academy. He breaks down the neuroscience for us, along with some history of hip-hop, freestyle, and improv, and he gives us a demo. Plus, he tells us how he met Lin-Manuel Miranda, how Freestyle Love Supreme began, and what you can expect to see on stage when the show comes to the Miller Theater from June 7-12.

Danielle Larsen has done something many of us marvel at - she wrote and self-published her own memoir, “From Voiceless to Vocal,” about her years with an abusive ex-husband.  Now, Danielle lives in Washington Heights and is an author, blogger, photographer, and member of the hip-hop improv group Freestyle Love Supreme's Academy. I'm proud to share this interview about her radical transformation and newly positive outlook.   Here's what we talked about:   How the best content comes when you're vulnerable and open How she gained confidence to start and finish the project from her blog readers and the Twitter community The biggest hurdle - just getting started! Waiting for inspiration The freedom and release of publishing and putting something into the world How the world gave her permission to make a radical life change

Before ‘Hamilton’ or even ‘In the Heights’, a guy from Philadelphia met Lin-Manuel Miranda at college and started a hip-hop improv group called Freestyle Love Supreme. That group eventually went to Broadway and is now touring the country. They’ll be at the Miller Theater from June 7-12, and that guy from Philadelphia - Anthony Veneziale - tells us how it all started and gives us a demo of how a freestyle rap comes together. It’s a Friday, so that means we recognize our latest Philadelphia Sports Fan of the Week. This week, Dave Uram catches up with members of the Sons of Ben, the renowned Philadelphia Union supporters group. Plus, Justin Udo presents a new haiku. This week’s theme? A pesky problem. And we preview an upcoming episode of Bridging Philly with Philadelphia Department of Prisons Commissioner Blanche Carney, discussing some disturbing allegations within the system. The Jawncast is Jay Scott Smith, Sabrina Boyd-Surka, and Brian Seltzer. Follow @TheJawncast on Twitter for every new episode.

This week on Yes But Why, I interviewed emcee/beatboxer, David “BS” Bradshaw about his love for performing freestyle rap and teaching workshops. David "BS" Bradshaw has been emceeing and beatboxing in NYC for the past decade. His primary focus the last five years has been refining his craft as an artist- educator and programming specialist.He has toured regionally, performed at the Apollo, been featured on BET's 106&Park, and The Today Show. He's collaborated on hip-hop based team-building and professional development seminars with entities like Facebook, Nikon, Toyota, the Museum of Street Art, BMW Foundation, Carnegie Hall, and Lavelle School for the Blind.BS is a BEAT Global T3 certified instructor with background as a Spanish Dual Language teacher. He currently facilitates workshops for learners of all ages and abilities in freestyle rhyming, songwriting, and beatboxing, including incarcerated youth and special needs populations. You can find BS teaching at Freestyle Love Supreme's Rap Academy, his own Freestyle Fitness and Beatbox Express workshops, or at a place of warm gathering in your community.This was such a lovely conversation with BS. He is such a joyful person. We talked about becoming creative out of defiance. BS shared moments in his life when he was forced to face his individualism and when he decided to embrace it rather than give in to the bullies. David “BS” Bradshaw is an artist that has the kind of charm and determination that will keep him afloat through this creative life. He told me his mother's mantra, “You win some, you learn some.” And I couldn't agree more! Having a good attitude through tough times can make all the difference. BS told me of his recent development as an artist. He had been active in the performing all the time / producing albums lifestyle before the pandemic. But when major changes disrupted this path, BS pivoted and used his skills to develop online classes spreading the joy of freestyle rap to the world. He spoke of his workshop attendees as his friends, his community. BS is building a strong, supportive community with Freestyle Fitness!Support David “BS” Bradshaw by listening to his music or by taking a workshop with him!

Art is essential. You'll likely find beauty on the other side of tragedy.  Work for personal satisfaction, not awards.  Theater, art in general, is a cathartic experience for both the artist and the audience. We all have different strengths and weaknesses. Embrace them go all in! The unknown is scary, it's also where the gold is. Don't assign judgment (good or bad) to words, thoughts or feelings. Be open-minded. There is endless possibility when we take risks. You can have it all, but you can't have it all at the same time. We feel the most joy and happiness when we're pursuing the things we're most passionate about. Each of us has inherent gifts that we were born with, that come naturally and easy to us. Because they come so easy to us we often don't recognize them as superpowers. It takes reflection to be aware of our superpowers, prioritize it. Learn more about your ad choices.
