It's Fringe time again and as usual, the Dublin Fringe Festival has a host of female-led art and showomanship to discover. In today's episode we highlight some of the brilliant events by women taking place in venues across the capital from the 10th to the 25th of September. (You won't want to miss Growler, the story of an 82-year-old inner-city vulva for just one brilliant example). Róisín Ingle is joined in this episode by the women of Hive City Legacy: Dublin Chapter, a project from the Hot Brown Honey collective, a group of women of colour disrupting the arts industry. The show was created by director Lisa Fa'alafi and music maestro “Busty Beatz” aka Kim Bowers and they talked to Róisín about the joy of being disruptive and exploring gender, class and identity through art. Also on the podcast is dancer and stylist Andrea Williams, who features in the show in collaboration with seven other Irish women of colour reclaiming their narrative through dance, song, poetry and performance.

As well as creating choreography, she's worked in schools with the RAD's Step into Dance programme, and has a gift for reaching young people who might be struggling as she once did.About Yami 'Rowdy' LöfvenbergYami 'Rowdy' Löfvenberg is a multidisciplinary artist working between movement and theatre as a creative movement director, director, hip-hop theatre maker, performer and lecturer.

Yami 'Rowdy' Löfvenberg has difficulty understanding numbers, and couldn't read an analogue clock until she was 18, yet needs to count beats for her art. The award-winning British-based hip-hop artist and choreographer with a rare counting dyslexia was born in Colombia and adopted by Swedish parents. She was bullied at her Swedish school because of her dyscalculia, and told she was stupid. But she has capitalised on this. Today Yami is a well-regarded hip-hop dance theatre director. Her shows challenge stereotypes, incorporating dance, spoken word and music; she goes by the motto "Let's Edutain". Yami also teaches dance at a London conservatoire and is the only northern hemisphere member of the Australasian female collective Hot Brown Honey.

On this week's podcast - a chat about Christmas and the spirit of giving, Offa Foatu from Hot Brown Honey talks about their new show, Amy Mullins joins the breakfasters to discuss a new report on Women in the Media and a conversation about Air Force One.
Part 2 of my conversation with music theatre/cabaret star and creator of Jan van de Stool (as seen on Australia's Got Talent - ROBBED! SHE WAS ROBBED!). Originally recorded in January 2016, we talk about people who call people "toxic", forgiveness, depression and anxiety in the arts, what shits us (oh all right, what shits ME) about music theatre, why the hell cabaret is so dominantly white in Australia (apart from Mama Alto, and this was pre-Hot Brown Honey, btw), the lack of casting diversity not just in cultural background, but also in gender, age and body shape, how cabaret is great because it really IS what you bring to it, and that it's OK to have a fight with your friends. If your life isn't sorted out by the end of this one, we're out of ideas. Because Queenie has seriously read every self-help book there is. All of them. Hey - remember: Barbra Streisand can never be as good at being you as YOU can. P.S. I do talk a fair bit in this one. We both do. It's a conversation. If you were expecting an interview, I am sorry, this isn't an interview. We're drinking tea in a lovely sunny house philosophising about arts and life. You know - living.
