This week we welcome acting mentor and career coach Charlotte Thornton to the podcast. Charlotte trained at Mountview and after graduating without an agent, she worked primarily in Fringe Theatre before an encounter with a career coach specifically in LA changed the trajectory of her career. After going on to appear on the West End and at The National Theatre, Charlotte has gone on to coach actors at every stage of their career. Her wisdom and advice was so good to hear and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. @charlottethornton_coach (Instagram) @charliethornton (twitter) https://www.facebook.com/CharlotteThorntonPage https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn9Vg5D-7qn0lZIDme-LNjg If you enjoy this podcast, please consider supporting us on Patreon patreon.com/user?u=30855788 or over at Buy Me a Coffee buymeacoffee.com/starvingart

Beyoncé's Renaissance: we discuss Beyoncé's house and disco inspired new album – her first solo material in six years - and her huge significance as an artist and cultural icon. Nick is joined by Jacqueline Springer – curator, and music journalist and lecturer, and by Dr Kirsty Fairclough who specialises in popular culture and music. The Arctic is Don Paterson's new collection of poems. The title refers not to the polar region but the third worst bar in Dundee, the resort of survivors of various apocalypses. Other poets are a presence, too, in Paterson's poems ‘after' Gabriela Mistral, Montale and Cavafy. Nick Ahad interviews Don Paterson about this poetic cornucopia. David Byrne is the artistic director and chief executive of London's New Diorama, the Stage newspaper's Fringe Theatre of the Year. He joins Nick to explain his decision to present no public programme for the rest of the year. Free-for-All is a programme that does what it says on the tin – all artworks on the walls of the Touchstones Gallery have been made by people from Rochdale. Artist Harry Meadley joins Nick to explain the concept. And we remember American actor Nichelle Nichols, best known for her role in Star Trek as Lieutenant Uhura, who has died aged 89.

Oriana Fox speaks with live artist Daniel Oliver about the daring mix of pre-planning, chance, nakedness and collaboration in his work. Oliver wants audiences to be euphoric about or made uncomfortable by his participatory work, anything but indifferent. In embracing the label dyspraxic along with punk aesthetics, he welcomes the potential for getting things wrong. In fact, he believes that's what makes live art the ideal medium for his work. Taking agency as a neurodiverse artist for Oliver means that if you don't like what he does, you're just ableist.   The first half of this interview was recorded live on Instagram in May 2021 as part of Oriana's digital residency at Mimosa House Gallery. You can watch the original video here.Oriana Fox is a London-based, New York-born artist with a PhD in self-disclosure. She puts her expertise to work as the host of the talk show performance piece The O Show.Daniel Oliver is a performance artist and scholar who specialises in participatory performance and awkwardness. His experience with dyspraxia has lead to an invested interest in neurodiversity and its place in contemporary performance practices and scholarship. His book Awkwoods: Daniel Oliver's Dyspraxic Adventures in Participatory Performance was published by Unbound in 2019. Oliver's latest piece Artparty Boardgame is touring the following UK venues in May 2022:CLAY, Leeds, Friday 6th May - https://www.clayleeds.co.uk/​Cambridge Junction, Cambridge, Friday 13th May - https://www.junction.co.uk/chipperlarterart-party-the...Colchester Arts Centre, Colchester, Wednesday 18th May - https://www.colchesterartscentre.com/.../wonderful.../Credits:Produced, edited and hosted by Oriana FoxIntroductory Voiceover by John Kilduff, aka Mr. Let's PaintOriginal theme song written and performed by Paulette HumanbeingSpecial Thanks to Sven Van Damme, Katie Beeson, Janak Patel and Mimosa House Gallery, Londonwww.orianafox.com***Would you like to see your name in the above credits list?

Some argue that all of humanity today faces an identity crisis, as we struggle with rapid change and a deteriorating habitat -- and that the solutions may lie in indigenous social technologies, especially the power of the story. This is a wide-ranging discussion covering a lot of ground (reconciliation, diversity, Back to the Future), but one that should be relevant to all. Ben is in Edmonton for an inspiring conversation with Jacquelyn Cardinal, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Naheyawin. About the Guest Jacquelyn Cardinal is Co-Founder and Managing Director of Naheyawin, as well as Co-President and Director of Social Awareness Group. Jacquelyn was nominated for Edmonton's Top 40 Under 40 class of 2018, and received an Esquao Award for Achievement in Business and a SHEInnovates Award from the UN Women's Global Innovation Coalition for Change. In early 2019, her first play, Lake of the Strangers, co-written with her brother and co-produced with Fringe Theatre, premiered and received the Sterling Award for Outstanding New Play. When she isn't using ancient tools to solve contemporary problems, she is learning all she can about emergent technologies and exploring her love for film. Mentioned in this Episode The Reality Bubble, a book by Canadian science journalist Ziya Tong Hunter Cardinal, Jacquelyn's brother and Naheyawin's Director of Story The Inconvenient Indian, a book by Thomas King Back to the Future, the 1985 film Wilfred Buck, Cree astronomer mentioned by Jacquelyn Caravaggio, prolific 16th and 17th century Italian painter Episode 70 of this podcast, featuring Fleming Puckett on Power, Colonialism and the San People The Quote of the Week "Everybody has their stories about the sky, because everybody lives under the sky." - Wilfred Buck

Harry and Rory present a special episode of Games on Film, recorded live at EGX Rezzed in London on 4th April 2019, as part of the Fringe Theatre line-up. For this panel, they nominated some video games they would like to see turned into a movie, suggesting how they would adapt it and what problems that might encounter, and putting forward cast and crew they think would be up to the task - as well as inviting suggestions from the audience! There is also some discussion about their highlights from EGX Rezzed 2019.

In this first of a series of podcasts on level design we present a live panel at this year's EGX Rezzed Games Convention in London's Tobacco Dock as part of the Fringe Theatre sessions. We discuss the mastery and mysteries behind the choices level designers make and how those influence the player, how they guide them and in the end, how they improve the overall gameplay. The panel consists Steve Lee (Bioshock Infinite and Dishonored 2), Claire Morley ( Before I Forget) , Rob McLachlan (Silent Hill: Origins, SH: Shattered Memories, Winter Hall and now at The Chinese Room) and Jonathon Wilson (Shu, Augmented Empire, They Suspect Nothing and Dimension Hunter 2) and is moderated by Mark Drew (CMD Studio).

At the time of recording James had a flight in less than ten hours and still hadn't started packing, so we squeezed in what we could into two hours. And after three podcasts and a couple of streams the previous week, What You Been Playing is a bit thin on the ground, which, as you'll hear in feedback, is probably a good thing for Mat. Watch TCGS Live at Rezzed this coming Saturday 6th April at 4pm in the Fringe Theatre. Tickets and more information at egx.net/rezzed Games Discussed: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

What does it take to make work that is excites people on a national and international level?What are you prepared to do in order to make work you are truly proud of? My guest this week is theatre writer and director Declan Greene. He has a body of work that spans every major theatre institution in the country. He got his start in Melbourne’s literal and figurative underground - staging plays in underground carparks and building sites - and is now of the best regarded theatre makers of his generation. But that doesn’t mean he’s lost his edge.  Declan's work still crosses genres and formats and merges high-brow and low-brow culture, queer performance art, multimedia, in-jokes, bad language, pop art and surrealist absurdity - but always with a view to comment on society or humanity or the profanity of culture - or all of the above. His recent direction of Blackie Blackie Brown - written by Nakia Lui and currently showing at the STC - is no exception. It melds Japanese manga iconography with Tarantino themes for a tale of aboriginal revenge on white-settler injustice.The play is simultaneously visually astounding, shocking, thought-provoking funny and tapping of some current-day zeitgeist that makes it feel truly progressive. Next up, in July this year, the MTC will stage Declan's adaptation of the Lars Von Trier film, Melancholia. And it is Declan’s tenacity that I am most admiring of.  In the decade, he has amassed a huge body of work - averaging the release of two plays a year. When I sat down with Declan for this interview last year, around the time of the release of his play The Homosexuals, I wanted to find out what his creative process looks like in a practical sense - how does he manage to average multiple major works in a year… and before someone was paying him to do so, how did create a lifestyle in which he could get good in the first place? This episode is great for anyone looking to get active in a their ideal career space by pooling passion and resources amongst your creative community. There’s never been a better time to ‘screw it - just do it’.
