Send your questions or provocations to Adam or Budi here!Ragas Of The Rooted Heart is a journey through the intertwined emotions of love, identity, and home. Shila, an Indian immigrant artist, reflects on her experiences in New York City while holding onto her deep connection to India. As she stands at the crossroads of two worlds, Shila navigates the complexities of cultural displacement, the evolving meaning of home, and the vulnerability of love.Through poetic monologue and the soulful echoes of India through her lens, Shila invites us into her inner world—a place of longing, resilience, and quiet strength. She questions societal expectations, confronts the isolation of being an outsider, and finds solace in the memories of her roots. Ragas Of The Rooted Heart is a tender exploration of what it means to create a life, a home, and a sense of belonging in an unfamiliar land, all while staying open to love and the unknown.CAST Shila - Tanvi JhansiSaheba - Prashant TiwariImmigration Officer - Jacob BrandtLinda - Pearl RheinKaren - Amanda NaughtonBlack Women Officer / Joan - Whitney AndrewsPapa - Rahul Dodwani Playwright - Sneha SakhareDirector - Cloteal L.

In this episode, Adam and Budi sit down with Kam Henderson to discuss the second instalment in our 2023 Audio New Play Festival, Barrelhouse.Kam (he/him) is — a playwright, director, dramaturg, an artist.His artistic voice centers on creating art of unrestrictive, creative boundaries. He believes art is to be experienced—especially with narratives that are not our own. And the development of his work is centered in three cardinal rules of creation: 1. “I don't make art for you to like.2. I don't make art for you to dislike.3. I make art so art can be; that should be enough.”These rules keep his work integral, free, and authentic and define how he carries himself and sees the world around him. instagram: @kamjhendersonSupport the showPlease help us send BRIGHT LIGHT BURNING to COP28 in Dubai.

Sugarbag is a one-person radio play centered around the story of a young adult farmer living in outback Queensland. Set in a future where a combination of tightened pressure on international agricultural trade, growing populations, and the monopolization of vast farming industries has led to overfarming and a lack of regard for the welfare of the country. Sugarbag is a journey that explores the white colonial farming psyche. A world where in order to survive one has to become thick-skinned, rigid, and emotionally defensive. But when, despite all that, the world around you is still falling to pieces, where do you go? What does it take to unravel 200+ years of compression?Written and Performed by James ReiserFeaturing Mark Nannup as JerryComposer | Sound Designer |  Sound Engineer: Jack BurmeisterDramaturg: Steven GaultneyJames Reiser is an Australian writer, performer, and visual artist.

Whale Song is an immersive audio play experience that follows characters, SAM and ROCHELLE, and the crew of a research vessel; scouring the near-empty oceans in search of the last whales on the planet. The play is set fifty years from today in a world so badly ravaged by a climate catastrophe, the human race is being forced to evacuate Earth and start again on Mars. Whale Song explores emerging, present-day attitudes towards the unfolding climate crisis and the value of human and animal life on planet Earth. “They're lonely. Imagine being the last person left on Earth, wandering around every day, calling out for someone who isn't there… they won't stop looking though.
