Elaine chats with co-directors Ellen Renton and Rachel Drazek of Stellar Quines production of Disciples in association with The Traverse Theatre. Elaine, Rahel and Ellen chat the creation of Disciples, their working process, the joy of a creative rehearsal space and of course we couldn't avoid the conversation round the Scottish Government breaking their promise to reinstate the 10% cut to Creative Scotland's budget. Disciples is on at The Traverse Theatre Edinburgh 5-7th October 2023 and Northern Stage Newcastle 7-9th November 2023.

The show is devised in collaboration with five women and non-binary performers who identify as D/deaf and disabled, led by director Rachel Drazek (Movement Director - My Left Right Foot) and poet/playwright and performer Ellen Renton (Within Sight). Disciples is a joyful, dynamic performance that comes to life through a blend of music, movement, text and image - led by poetry. Themes in the piece include finding joy, finding faith, finding power and what happens to the parts of ourselves that we are asked to hide. Questioning who gets to be the storytellers of our experiences, Disciples joins the voices of those working to break down these barriers, in the arts and beyond. Ellen said: “It's a rare and beautiful thing to be able to build a creative space with so many D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people across the cast and team. This is not a show about disability, but it will challenge preconceptions.” OUR WEBSITE - www.persistentandnasty.co.uk Persistent Pal & Nasty Hero - Pals and Hero Membership Support In The Room - https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/in-the-room Email – persistentandnasty@gmail.com Instagram - @persistentandnasty Twitter - @PersistentNasty Coffee Morning Eventbrite - Coffee Morning Tickets LINKTREE - LINKTR.EE Resources Samaritans - Rape Crisis Scotland - Rape Crisis UK ArtsMinds - BAPAM Freelancers Make Theatre Work Stonewall UK - Trevor Project - Mermaids UK Switchboard LGBT+ - GATE PLANNED PARENTHOOD DONATE - DONATE ABORTION SUPPORT NETWORK UK - ASN.COM- DONATE WeAudition offer: For 25% off your monthly subscription quote: NASTY25 Backstage Offers: Get a free 12 months Actor Subscription: https://join.backstage.com/persistentnasty-uk-12m-free/

We occasionally have to roam around to make the podcast happen, and that can mean sometimes being in a public space, with unavoidable background noise. This podcast was recorded on December 3rd 2018. Find out more about Modest Predicament at https://www.modestpredicament.co.uk Follow Shilpa on Twitter @ShilpaTHyland / @modestpred Persistent and Nasty is a script-reading, debate and art as activism initiative for the female-identified voice in stage and screen. Although the core principle behind Persistent and Nasty is about the female-identified voice, we are committed to an intersectional approach and aim to use the space we’ve created to provide a platform for the spectrum of marginalised voices in our culture. Through a series of script readings and accompanying digital content, we are creating a platform for the unrepresented voices in the stage and screen industry; women, minorities, trans and LGBTQIA+. Our goal is to create a project that is safe and supportive, but that is also an act of protest. Persistent and Nasty is about changing the cultural narrative through the stories we tell. It is a co-presentation with live-arts production house Civil Disobedience. Civil Disobedience was formed in 2016, with a mandate to offer an international platform for talented artists in cabaret, theatre, comedy, music, and storytelling. We have a special interest in gender-bending, queer, and politically engaged work. We are an Edinburgh-based production house with an international scope. We tailor service packages for solo artists and companies of all sizes. Find us on social media...
