Ever wandered what the creative process is behind the films, tv shows and theatre productions you watch? Well, crew chats is a podcast going behind the scenes and chatting to the crew that help make these productions. Sarah Hamza studied Costume for Performance at the London College of Fashion after being inspired to work in the Textiles field from watching her mother sew her clothes and school uniforms whilst growing up. After graduating, Sarah worked on varied projects like the TV mini-series ’The Colour of Magic’ as the Dye Assistant for two episodes and as the Deputy Wardrobe Supervisor on ‘La Cage Aux Folles’ for the Menier Chocolate Factory theatre. At the Royal Opera House (ROH), Sarah began as a Dresser and a casual Wardrobe Technician mainly for the Opera but occasionally for the Ballet too, before joining the Production Costume department as the Junior Buyer and General Assistant. After the ROH, Sarah worked for the English National Opera (ENO) as the Head Buyer and was also one of the in-house Costume Supervisors, supervising revivals such as 'Madam Butterfly' and 'The Mikado', and new productions from the 2019 season that included ‘War Requiem’, ‘Jack the Ripper: The Women of Whitechapel’ and ‘Orpheus and Eurydice’. Since January 2020, Sarah has been the Head of Costume for the Young Vic Theatre. Sarah's Recommendations: -What We Do in the Shadows (TV Series) -The Farewell -DGV: Danse a Grande Vitesse
This month we discuss Katherine Knight, our first patreon requested ladykiller! Katherine Knight is sometimes referred to in the press as “Australia's Hannibal Lecter” even though the only thing they properly have in common is questionable taste in interior design. We also got press tickets to an opera, Jack the Ripper: The Women of Whitechapel which we review because we are opera critics now. We also discuss the fact that we are moving, third nipple piercings and whether we want a coyote as a pet, and mourn the loss of South East London queer dance parties (RIP Pash Neck). CONTENT NOTES: Abusive relationships and violence, animal cruelty, rape, CSA, child abuse, alcoholism, suicide, attempted suicide, attempted cannibalism, semi–graphic description of the mutilation of a dead body.
