Podcasts about one woman show

Yoko Ono is arguably the most famous Japanese person outside of Japan, and easily the most maligned. She's spoken of (falsely) as the woman who broke up the Beatles—not the woman who co-wrote “Imagine.” She's known as a woman who can't sing—not as a woman who used years of classical music training to subvert norms on more than a dozen experimental albums. Why don't more people know about her mischievous One Woman Show at MOMA, a performance piece staged outside the museum, without its permission, that slyly railed against its exclusion of female and Asian artists? Or about the clever all-white chess set she once sent to Reagan and Gorbachev at the height of the Cold War in 1987, simply titled Play It By Trust? “Everybody knows her name,” her Beatle husband once said, “but no one knows what she does.” Now, thanks to David Sheff's new biography, simply titled Yoko, no one has an excuse not to know anymore: about her art, her activism, her music, and her astonishing journey from war-torn Tokyo to the avant-garde art scenes of London and New York.

Susan Lieu shares her family's trauma in a one-woman show and memoir in an effort to find understanding and healing, despite the fact that her family refused to talk about it and saw her as "too emotional." But by using her voice she found she could let go of the shame and help others at the same time. 2 Lives “The second begins the moment we realize we have only one.” 2 Lives is created by Laurel Morales.

Horváth Roland a Koncertpromo alapítója és vezetője egy egészen különleges produkciót hoz el március 19-én az Erkel Színházba. Budapestre érkezik Candace Bushnell, a Szex és New York ikonikus írónője, aki a világ számos nagyvárosa után most a magyar közönséget is meghódítja „One Woman Show” előadásával. De mit is jelent ez pontosan? Egy exkluzív estét, ahol maga az írónő mesél a világhírű sorozat és saját életének kulisszatitkairól – mindezt interaktívan, humorral, őszinteséggel és rengeteg tanulsággal. Mi teszi különlegessé ezt a show-t? Hogyan lehet egy kultikus történetet személyesen, színházi közegben átadni a közönségnek? És vajon mit tanulhatunk ma a Szex és New York világából? Rolanddal arról is beszélgetünk, hogyan jött az ötlet, hogy a Szex és New York örökérvényű történetét elhozza Budapestre, miért jelentett kihívást egy ilyen nemzetközi produkció megszervezése, és hogy miért várja ő is különösen izgatottan a szerda estét.Kulisszatitkok, inspiráló gondolatok, nemzetközi sztárok és egy szenvedélyes szervező, aki ismét valami rendkívülit hoz a magyar fővárosba!A Sláger FM-en minden este 22 órakor a kultúráé a főszerep S. Miller András az egyik oldalon, a másikon pedig a térség kiemelkedő színházi kulturális, zenei szcena résztvevői Egy óra Budapest és Pest megye aktuális kult történeteivel.

Diese Folge hat es in sich – wir sprechen über Business & Geld, die größten Learnings der letzten Zeit und unser bisher teuerstes Missgeschick.Teil 1: Marketing als One-Woman-Show – ohne Budget für Ads?Uns hat die Frage erreicht, wie man sichtbar wird & Kunden gewinnt, ohne einen Cent in Werbung zu stecken. Dabei sind wir schnell auf das Thema Meta-Ads gekommen – und erzählen, wie unser letzter Versuch richtig in die Hose ging (und uns ordentlich Lehrgeld gekostet hat).Teil 2: Schulden – smarte Strategie oder finanzielles Risiko?Konsum-Schulden vs. Investment-Schulden – wo liegt der Unterschied?Leasingfahrzeug, Eigenheim, Handy auf Raten – welche Entscheidungen sind sinnvoll & wo verbrennst du langfristig Geld?Und: Christian teilt seine persönliche Erfahrung mit Privatinsolvenz – und was er daraus gelernt hat.

250225PC: Wie man die Radikalen stärktMensch Mahler am 25.02.2025Meine Erschütterung am Wahlabend hielt sich in Grenzen. Das Ergebnis war voraussehbar. Freude darüber, dass sich Christian Lindner mit seinem Machtpoker sowas von verzockt hat und dass Sarah Wagenknecht mit ihrer One-Woman-Show nicht durchgekommen ist, war ein schwaches Trostpflaster am Tag danach.Klar ist: die demokratische Mitte hat verloren. Und alle tragen sie ihre Schuld daran. Die drei etablierten Parteien haben die jungen Wählerinnen in die Arme der Linken getrieben, weil die als einzige glaubhafte Anti-Militarisierungspolitik, soziale Gerechtigkeit und am radikalsten Klimaschutz vertreten haben. Zu den Grünen ist zu sagen: Der Ehrliche ist der Dumme. Robert Habeck war der Einzige, der nicht als Sprücheklopfer unterwegs war. So sind die Grünen als einzige Ampelpartei noch glimpflich davongekommen. Friedrich Merz hat mit seiner Spaltpilz-Politik kräftig verloren und der AfD und der Linken Wählerinnen geschenkt. Ob er Kanzler kann – denn da ist ein Versöhner gefragt – wird sich herausstellen. Wenn er keine Kompromissbereitschaft zeigt, wird das nichts mit der neuen Groko. Und die AfD – man wusste es ja schon vorher. Die markigen Sprüche, die Überheblichkeit – alles nichts neues. Die ostdeutschen Bundesländer – katastrophal, wie viele Menschen sich von diesen Rattenfängern an der Nase herumführen lassen. Aber auch in meiner Heimat, der schwäbischen Alb, regiert der Stammtisch. Wie die Menschen um mich herum gewählt haben, ist erschütternd.Trösten kann mich die hohe Wahlbeteiligung, wenn sie auch vor allem die Ränder gestärkt hat. Aber: Die Bürgerinnen und Bürger sind wenigstens nicht mehr gleichgültig. Möge das am Ende des Tages der Demokratie zu Gute kommen. Und der neuen Regierung zu Akzeptanz verhelfen in den wichtigsten Fragen Europa, Klima und soziale Gerechtigkeit. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

2014 machte sich Sam als Friseurmeisterin selbstständig und eröffnete mit gerade mal 21 Jahren ihren eigenen Salon “Kopfsache Düsseldorf”. Seitdem sind 10+ Jahre, einige Quadratmeter Ladenfläche, viele Mitarbeitende und eine Tochter hinzugekommen. Im Podcast teilt Sam mit dir, wie sie sich von der One Woman Show zur Unternehmerin entwickelt hat – mit allen Höhen und Tiefen. Heute steht sie weit über die Handwerksbranche hinaus als Speakerin und Coachin für die Themen New Work, Führung und Female Empowerment. In unserer gemeinsamen Folge sprechen wir unter anderem darüber, was Branding mit Grenzensetzen zu tun hat, wie Sam auch in schwierigen Phasen motiviert bleibt (und warum das vielen Selbstständigen schwerfällt), ob Karriereweg als Mann einfacher gewesen wäre und warum Abstand nehmen zu können echter Luxus ist.

Author Christine Coulson spent twenty-five years writing for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Her final project was to write wall labels for the museum's new British Galleries. During that time, she dreamt of using The Met's strict label format to describe people as intricate works of art. The result is this "jewel box of a novel" (Kirkus Reviews) that imagines a privileged 20th-century woman as an artifact--an object prized, collected, and critiqued. One Woman Show (Avid Reader Press, 2023) revolves around the life of Kitty Whitaker as she is defined by her potential for display and moved from collection to collection through multiple marriages. Coulson precisely distills each stage of this sprawling life, every brief snapshot in time a wry reflection on womanhood, ownership, value, and power. "A moving story of privilege, womanhood, and the sweep of the 20th century told through a single American life" (Rumaan Alam, author of Leave the World Behind), Kitty is an eccentric heroine who disrupts her porcelain life with both major force and minor transgressions. Described with poignancy and humor, Coulson's playful reversal on our interaction with art ultimately questions who really gets to tell our stories. Christine Coulson spent 25 years writing for The Metropolitan Museum of Art and left the museum as Senior Writer in 2019. She started at The Met in 1991 as a summer intern in the European Paintings Department and returned in 1994 to start her first job at the museum after graduate school. During her tenure, she rose through the ranks of the museum, working in the Development Office, the Director's Office, and the Department of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts. In 2017, The Met gave Coulson a yearlong sabbatical to write Metropolitan Stories, her bestselling 2019 novel about the museum. Recommended Books: Katheryn Scanlan, Kick the Latch J.L.

Dans cet épisode, je reçois Anne Roumanoff. C'est lovée au coeur d'un de ses confortables canapés de son appartement parisien que j'ai échangé sur la trajectoire de cette humoriste qui occupe la scène française depuis plus de 30 ans ! Avec Anne, nous sommes revenues sur son enfance elle qui est l'ainée d'une famille de 4 enfants.  Volubile et ambitieuse depuis ses jeunes années, Anne découvre son gout pour le théâtre dès l'âge de 12 ans. Après avoir eu son bac en poche à 17 ans, elle entre à Sciences Po dans les années 80 et en sort diplomée quelques années plus tard. Elle poursuit alors le théâtre, écrit rapidement des sketchs qu'elle démarrera au Club Med, passe des auditions et essuiera plusieurs refus avant de finir par décrocher une opportunité à la télé, à l'époque ou elle ne comporte que 3 chaînes ! C'est le début de l'ascension pour Anne qui réalise peu de temps après son premier One Woman Show. Anne a fait les plus grandes scènes parisiennes comme l'Olympia, le Casino de Paris, le théâtre Bobino ou encore Palais Royal, mais également effectué des tournées dans toute la France.  En 2010 elle est désignée humouriste préférée des français et a même inaugurée sa statue au musée Grévin ! Anne s'est également largement illustré à la télé et à la radio, tout en maintenant une longévité incroyable sur la scène depuis plus de 30 ans. Nous avons parlé du rapport d'Anne à la scène, de comment trouver l'énergie d'enchainer des centaines de représentations sans se lasser mais également de sujets plus intimes comme les injonctions qui pèsent sur les femmes, le sexisme dans le monde du stand up, de son rapport à la notoriété ou encore de ses vécus de maternité pour cette maman de deux enfants. Inutile de vous dire qu'Anne est une ambitieuse saine et assumée et que celà explique certainement son incroyable parcours. Belle écoute ! 

When I synchronistically bumped into her, I knew I needed to speak with her. Her name, Simran, meaning “divine remembrance” is the purpose of life always, but especially in times of great potential change that can support life. Join us to talk about her path through many transformations, and how she came to know herself as a “TRUTH ACTIVIST + LOVE CATALYST + REBEL HUMANITARIAN + HUMAN + STORYTELLER OF SOUL + WISE WOMAN + INNOCENT CHILD + EXAMPLE.” In this interview we will discuss the art of being a change agent for yourself and others, how to be 'devoted to the journey of your soul,' and why this is a calling that cannot in these times be missed. Simran's bio: Host of 11:11 Talk Radio and publisher of 11:11 Magazine. SIMRAN is a multiple gold award-winning author, artist, speaker and mystic of love, compassion and humanity. She creates books, online courses, digital and audio media to assist in bridging humanity's experience and expression of darkness and light. As the 11:11 Lady, a Love Catalyst and Rebel Humanitarian, SIMRAN advocates for the Visionary and Mystic within, so that greater balance, neutrality, compassion and peace arise in our inner and outer worlds. SIMRAN is a Ted speaker and created an 11-month One-Woman Show, The Rebel Road… Connecting the Dots from What Was to What Is, that spanned 66 cities across North America. She has appeared on GAIAM TV, One Word Puja Network, CCN, and The New Thought Channel; and also as keynote speaker at The World Congress, United Nations, universities, spiritual centers and venues across North America.

Actor and environmentalist Ed Begley Jr. talks about his fascinating memoir. Christine Coulson on her novel, “One Woman Show.” It’s told completely through art museum plaques. And author Jeremy Arnold […]

San Antonio educator and writer Georgette María Messa explores the story of her mother's trauma growing up on the El Paso-Juarez border. Messa talks about the production and her own journey to understanding and healing.

In the human potential world, we have a saying that is very true. “What is personal is universal.” On one hand, for good reason, you may be a private person where being vulnerable in front of people, especially on video, or anywhere publicly, can feel very uncomfortable and not acceptable. So, you keep it to yourself reserved for very close family and friends. That's respected. Then there are others like myself and my guest, Dylan Jones, where we know there is a double blessing when we are courageous enough to listen to our intuition and be publicly vulnerable with our truth. The double blessing is the receiving of support from others you hoped for and being an inspiration to others and impacting their lives through your own story of struggle to transformation. That is the gift in the challenge. For Dylan, who is an actress and transformational life coach, her decision to deliver her vulnerability was a calling for healing through her own one woman show called Siren Song currently being presented at the Hollywood Fringe Festival June 13-30 – Her specific dates for her show are June 14, 24, 28 “I have always known that acting was my thumbprint and destiny from the time I was very young. It has often felt like it chose me as it is so much a part of how I see the world,” says Dylan. Her Siren Song solo show invokes acting icons Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck and Greta Garbo to unwind the riddle of how to be a woman when the women you wanted to be like aren't real and the woman who raised you is disappearing before your eyes. Her mother was her touchstone most of her life. Now Dylan watches over her mother who is under careful supervision for an illness. Imagine if you could ask your childhood icons anything, what would it be? What would they want us to know that they never got to say? So with that, you will have the privilege of hearing how this work of art came to be from her own life tapestry behind the scenes of how this performance was created.

Von and Jackie discuss the BDSM and kink scene, as well as Jackie's one-woman musical, Hold Me Down. They talk about how to get involved in the scene, including attending classes and munches (casual hangouts). They also clarify the definitions of BDSM, kinks, and fetishes. Jackie explains that BDSM is about power dynamics and can involve pain and pleasure, while kinks are personal preferences that turn someone on. They also touch on the misconceptions surrounding BDSM, such as the portrayal in 50 Shades of Grey. They discuss the importance of communication, negotiation, and consent in BDSM, as well as the use of safe words. They also explore different aspects of BDSM, including role-playing, rope bondage (Shibari), and the variety of outfits and costumes in the scene. Jackie shares their experiences in the BDSM and kink scene, including the attire, etiquette, and purpose of dungeons. They explain that dungeons are community spaces where people can engage in BDSM play in a safe and consensual environment. Jackie also discusses their journey of finding freedom through bondage and overcoming shame and trauma. They turned their experiences into a musical called Hold Me Down, which incorporates dance, stand-up comedy, emotional storytelling, and original songs. The show is part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival and will have five performances in June.Chapters:(00:00) Introduction and Rehearsals for Hold Me Down(02:23) Curiosity about BDSM and Kinks(05:19) Explaining BDSM and Kinks(08:36) Misconceptions and Representation of BDSM(12:20) Power Dynamics and Safe Words(13:54) Role Play and Different Dynamics(15:53) Shibari: Japanese Rope Bondage(22:08) Etiquette and Entry into the BDSM Community(23:35) Exploring BDSM and Kink (31:03) Different Rules at Play Parties(36:20) Finding Freedom Through Bondage(41:10)From Songs to a One-Woman Show(46:54) The Challenges of Rehearsing and Producing(51:54) Getting Involved in the BDSM Scene(53:35) Attending Classes and Munches(54:05) Coordinating Play Parties(55:05) Using FetLife to Connect (56:08) Being Cautious of CreepersHold Me Down Info & Tickets hereShe was tangled up in shame and expectations of what everyone else wanted her to be.Through bondage, she found freedom.A one woman autobiographical musical as told by Jackie Yangyuen (she/they) – a queer and Asian American songwriter, actor, and kinky human.There will be an extra 30 min Q&A segment after the 6/22 performance!Location: 5636 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90038Dates: Sun June 09, 5:30 PMSat June 15, 7:30 PMMon June 17, 8:30 PMSat June 22, 10:00 PMSun June 30, 2:30 PM

In the past two years, I have gone from three full time team members.. To me, one part time contractor. The result of scaling DOWN my team? My business went from 40% profit margins on a good month.. To 80%, always. I halved my revenue.. But took home WAY more profit. And I felt lighter, happier and more fulfilled than I had in years, with my days spent working on the things that truly light me up. Two years on, things looked so very different.. It feels like a dream. The no-team dream. Systems Over TeamSo, what changed? And specifically, what ENABLED me to re-build my business A One-Woman Show Working 5-Hour Days With 80% Profit Margins?Here's the cliff notes: From a business model perspective, I moved to a model that felt far more aligned. It required fewer moving parts, fewer offers and fewer resources. And I started prioritising systems over team. It looks like this: ✔️ A Simple Model: One of the most overlooked “secrets” to an elegant business is simplicity. More offers, more work. I worked on refining my business model and offer suite to be simple.✔️ Increased Leverage: I built offers that leverage my time by packaging my Intellectual Property into scalable offers that were divorced from my time (and didn't require big team to run).✔️ And Systems BEFORE Team: Rather than hiring FIRST, I worked to systemise as much of my business as possible, so that my time is now leveraged by processes, automations and tools instead of another set of hands. Together, those three things, once achieved, are a little thing called Operational Elegance –  and it has changed my (business) life. Operations doesn't sound sexy. But truly, it is the thing that has set me free. I want other people to experience it, and it's why I have dedicated my entire business mission since 2022 to help others achieve the same. If you resonate with this mission?  Lifestyle Business School is for you. Want more?

Author Christine Coulson joins Zibby to discuss ONE WOMAN SHOW, a sly, stylish, and incredibly innovative novel–remarkably told through museum wall labels–about a 20th-century woman who transforms herself from a precious object into an unforgettable protagonist. Christine, drawing inspiration from her 25-year tenure at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, discusses the unique structure of her book, which mirrors museum labels. The conversation touches on the challenges of writing within constraints, character development, and humor. Christine also emphasizes the importance of breaking down the intimidation factor associated with museums, reveals what her life is like outside of writing (she is a mom, and yes, she collects art), and shares her best advice for aspiring writers.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3TvN1skShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!
