We meet Tom Rasmussen to explore their new album Live Wire. We discuss their love of art, collaborations with artists Hannah Quinlan & Rosie Hastings, Shon Faye and Travis Alabanza, their love for Rene Matić, writing new songs with Romy and Self Esteem and what it was like being photographed by the legendary Tim Walker on both album covers. This episode was recorded in Los Angeles while Tom put the final touches to the Live Wire album.“Live Wire (Globe Town Records 2024) was written over a year where the last thing I wanted to talk about was violence, or what it meant to be queer. I've done it so much, I wanted to think about and feel about what it meant if I could live beyond that. This album is about happinness, the bittersweetness time passing, trying to live when the world is falling down both inside and out. In terms of the production, we wanted to create songs where vastness and intimacy existed in the same place like on Body, Heart, Mind; or where there was so much space for the feelings of the listener — like on There's A Lot To Be Happy About. Other songs like Song For M and Never Look Back, with Romy, are songs which start in a dream like space and aim never to take you out of it.”Tom's debut album Body Building (Globe Town Records 2023) fused dark dance music with an aesthetic and live performance that takes influence from their past life in drag. Born and raised in Lancashire, Tom moved to London where they fell into the world of drag, performing everywhere from the Royal Opera House to Glastonbury.Although their drag alter ego Crystal was distinct for singing live, it wasn't until Rasmussen started writing their own music that their performance persona began to change, revealing more of themselves. Thus came their debut album Body Building, an album that pierces the skin with its falsetto vocals and moments of queer euphoria punctuated by acoustic instrumentation.Having already toured with Rina Sawayama and Self Esteem, Tom Rasmussen has already made waves with audiences across the UK. Especially with their single Dysphoria, the inimitably catchy, powerful yet poignant ode to their experience with their body.Follow @TomRasmussen on Instagram.Live Wire, is OUT NOW via Globe Town Records and includes collaborations with Romy and Self Esteeem.Listen here: https://open.spotify.com/album/2e2BL8KVYFFPve2vtCmO4l Hosted on Acast.

This weeks episode of Changes Focus is a celebration of Trans lives. On this podcast we try to build empathy and connectedness through sharing people's personal stories and the only way we can understand what it's like to be a Trans person is by actually listening to those people who are living it every day. In this episode we've got Chelsea Manning, the former U.S. Army intelligence analyst and whistleblower, who discusses her journey of transitioning while in military prison, the incredible poet and musician Kae Tempest shares their thoughts on going through puberty as a Trans teenager and the importance of being your authentic self. Performance artist and author of ‘None of The Above' Travis Alabanza shares their definition of transness and talks about how they got to the point of feeling able to come out as gender non conforming. And finally, activist and author of ‘The Transgender Issue' Shon Faye shares her experiences of transphobia and her thoughts on why people are so scared of change when it comes to gender.

Janet Anderson recently starred in Overflow, a play written by non-binary artist Travis Alabanza. Her solo performance was a tour de force and aligned her personal with her political. The play was presented when trans people dominated headlines, during a time of debate about bathroom usage. Overflow was a creative haven; the entire Trans and Gender Diverse creative team allowed Anderson to bring her whole self to the rehearsal room, something rarely afforded to Trans creatives.Queering the Collection is created by Tristan Meecham.Editing and audio production by Jess Fairfax.Presented by Arts Centre Melbourne, in association with the Australian Performing Arts Collection and The Australian Queer Archives.Special thanks to Ian Jackson, Ange Bailey and Nick Henderson for their curatorial work.Photo of Janet Anderson by Andrew Fraser, provided by artist.

Janet Anderson is one of Australia's most exciting, emerging actresses. She's a recent graduate from NIDA and has just starred as the protagonist of Overflow, a powerful one-woman play about a trans woman in a club bathroom written by Travis Alabanza.  We sat down with Janet to discuss the powerful play, why trans existence is activism and cisgendered performative allyship.  You can find more about Janet here.  Jas and Mags xo See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We meet leading artist RENE MATIĆ to discuss current solo exhibition ‘A Girl For The Living Room' at Martin Parr Foundation, Bristol. This episode includes a special moment with living legend, and focus of Rene's new show, TRAVIS ALABANZA. We also explore earlier works exhibited at South London Gallery and their solo show at Quench Gallery, Margate. Plus we discuss a series of fifteen photographs that the Tate museum have acquired for their permanent collection - currently on display at Tate Britain's rehang of Modern and Contemporary British Art.Rene Matić (b. 1997, Peterborough, UK) is a London-based artist and writer whose practice spans across photography, film, and sculpture, converging in a meeting place they describe as "rude(ness)" - an evidencing and honouring of the in-between. Matić draws inspiration from dance and music movements such as Northern soul, Ska, and 2-Tone as a tool to delve into the complex relationship between West Indian and white working-class culture in Britain, whilst privileging queer/ing intimacies, partnerships and pleasure as modes of survival. In 2022 Martin Parr Foundation commissioned photographic artist Rene Matić to develop a new body of work in Bristol. Rene has created an intimate portrait of their friend Travis Alabanza, a Bristol born and based writer, performer and theatre maker. This new work comprises a mix of portraits alongside diaristic still lifes that document Rene and Travis's developing relationship as it became “lit by a table lamp instead of a disco ball.”‘We were excited to discover Rene's work and started to think about the idea of Rene shooting a project in Bristol and what this might look like. In 2022 we gave them a carte blanche to pursue any subject of their choice for this commission, so long as there was a Bristol connection. In ‘a girl for the living room' Rene has found a way of capturing and expressing their relationship with Travis Alabanza, a Bristol-born and based artist and performer.' – Martin ParrFollow @Rene.Matic on Instagram and their gallery @ArcadiaMissa, 35 Duke Street, London: https://arcadiamissa.com/rene-matic/A GIRL FOR THE LIVING ROOM BY RENE MATIĆ runs until 17th September 2023 in Bristol.Visit: @MartinParrFdn and https://www.martinparrfoundation.org/exhibitions/a-girl-for-the-living-room/Thanks for listening!!!

My admiration of Travis Alabanza runs deep. They were one of the first people to say yes to me and Busy Being Black at a time of tremendous uncertainty for me, and our 2018 conversation remains a firm favourite with listeners. The wisdom and insights Travis shared on art, gender, race and self-awareness are as relevant and salient today as then. I find them refreshing, not least for the ways they engage with the spectacle of curiosity that confronts them and trans folks daily. Travis reproaches with sass, or critique or silence: a questioning back that asks, ultimately, whether the rest of us know the role we play in the ongoing hostilities facing trans people. But Travis' work is not only, always or forever work about their experience as a trans person in a transphobic world, nor do they create to explain; which is perhaps most beautifully expressed in a statement made to Travis by writer and friend Kuchenga: "This is for us, baby, not for them." At the heart of Travis' new book, None of the Above, is a call to keep questioning who we are when no one is watching.  None of the Above is available to pre-order from Gays the Word, the UK's oldest LGBTQ bookshop. This conversation was recorded live at Shoreditch House in East London in May 2022, in front of an audience of friends, family and Busy Being Black listeners.

Travis Alabanza is a performer, writer and theatre maker who identifies as black, trans feminine and gender non-conforming. They are the youngest person to be awarded a residency at The Tate, the first black trans person to sell out a show at Southbank Centre and have had work featured at the V&A, Roundhouse and, most recently, the Bush Theatre with their play ‘Overflow’. As one of the most prominent emerging trans voices in the arts and beyond, Travis talks to Annie about their journey with change - from wearing a dress on stage for the first time stepping into the role of a Lady Gaga witch at school, to selling out venues with their award winning play Burgerz which sees Travis confronting the audience about their attitude to trans people, after they were called a “tranny” and had a burger thrown at them in broad daylight on waterloo bridge. With their usual charm and warmth, Travis openly discusses attending a summer camp in the US and learning about pronouns for the first time, putting on act, starting and dropping out of University to be an artist, their relationship with their mum and brother and becoming a trans voice in the art world.

Welcome to Over the Rainbow, an LGBTQ+ podcast dedicated to queer education and queer representation. Hosted by Rachel Keighley (she/her).   Episode 11: Trans representation on TV with Julie Hesmondhalgh (she/her) and Annie Wallace (she/her): In this episode Julie and Annie Wallace talk about trans representation on TV. Julie was the first person to play a trans character on a British soap and shares her story playing Hayley Cropper on Coronation Street. Annie is the first trans person to play a trans character on a British Soap and currently plays Sally St. Claire on Hollyoaks. They share their stories and really delve into the progress we have made over the last 20 years or so, in terms of trans representation and trans visibility both in the media and wider society. We talk about the shift we see in authentic representation and the amazing opportunities for trans people to tell their stories through the medium of art. However, this journey is far from over, so we also talk about where this representation needs to go in the future, and the parts Julie and Annie play in that journey through their characters and real life activism.   Information, support and resources: Press for Change: http://www.pfc.org.uk Trans Media Watch: http://transmediawatch.org Mermaids UK: https://mermaidsuk.org.uk Sparkle: https://www.sparkle.org.uk Trans Creative: https://transcreative.uk   People you should follow: Annie Wallace: https://twitter.com/anniewallace Julie Hesmondhalgh: https://twitter.com/juliehes Charlie Martin: https://www.instagram.com/gocharliem/ Munroe Bergdorf: https://www.instagram.com/munroebergdorf/ Travis Alabanza: https://www.instagram.com/travisalabanza/ Tyler Luke Cunningham: https://www.instagram.com/tylerlukecunningham/   More information on this podcast: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_overtherainbowpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/overtherainbowpodcast13   Music: Find Your Way Beat by Nana Kwabena

This is part 2 of episode 3, exploring how racism impacts young people, featuring co-host Alexia Powell from the national Prevention programme at TCS. The content includes an exploration into racism in the criminal justice system, the adultification of BAME youth and debating whether we see children through the lens of innocence or social justice. Alexia and I, also discuss the issue of language, stop & search, how to support young people experiencing racism and end with some positive role models from the BAME community. *adultification: Children in most societies are considered to be in a distinct group, with characteristics such as innocence. Adultification is when teachers, parents and law enforcement are less protective and more punitive with certain kids. The lens in which people view children can be affected by race.
