Episode 11 :: FK Alexander :: VIOLENCE & (I Could Go on Singing) Over the Rainbow
FK Alexander and I met in 2018 to discuss her recent show VIOLENCE and (I Could Go on Singing) Over the Rainbow, a 2016 Edinburgh Festival Fringe breakout hit. FK is a Glasgow-based live artist whose shows are often durational, ritualistic, and experiential for audiences, foregrounding violent actions and noise but rooted in tender intimacy. Confronting big and often difficult feelings, not least loneliness, their effects are destructive but also restorative. They are consistently fascinated with pop cultural fantasy figures, such as ‘girl next door’ Judy Garland, and Queen of Hearts, Princess Diana. We discuss FK’s devising practices, motivations, and obsessions, and how order and sobriety in day-to-day life allow her to dig deep into violence in performance.

Episode 10 :: Krishna Istha :: Beast
Krishna Istha and I discuss their stand-up comedy show about trans experience, Beast, directed by Zoë Coombs Marr. Krishna is a London-based performer, writer, live artist, and theatre maker whose work explores gender politics and queer culture. They created performance persona Bambi Sexsmith during Duckie’s Homosexualist Summer School, trained with GETINTHEBACKOFTHEVAN and comedian Hannah Gadsby, and performed in Rosana Cade’s Walking:Holding, Laura Bridgeman’s The Butch Monologues, and Wild Bore by Zoë Coombs Marr, Ursula Martinez, and Adrienne Truscott. Krishna and I discuss Beast’s infusion of comedy with live art; its costuming, audiences, scenography, and making process; and topics from racism to QTIPOC cabaret, mentoring, visibility, and touring while trans.

Episode 9 :: BreachTheatre :: It's True, It's True, It's True
Breach Theatre co-directors Ellice Stevens and Billy Barrett met me to discuss It’s True, It’s True, It’s True. The show restages the seventeenth-century trial of artist Agostino Tassi for the rape of teenage Artemisia Gentileschi, who would become one of the most famous painters of her era. Combining courtroom drama, stagings of some of Gentileschi’s most famous – and feminist – paintings, punk music, and a powerful three-woman ensemble, It’s True, It’s True, It’s True confronts sexual, social, and institutional violence against women. Billy, Ellice, and I talk ‘post-verbatim’ theatre, devising, performing Artemisia, #MeToo, rage, care, design, structuring, and staging nakedness, sex, and violence. It’s True, It’s True, It’s True was an award-winning hit at the 2018 Edinburgh Fringe and London’s New Diorama Theatre and returns to Edinburgh as part of the British Council’s 2019 Showcase before a UK tour. https://www.facebook.com/breachtheatre/
