Welcome to Let's Talk About The Arts.
In this podcast artist Fearghal Curtis meets a diverse array of artists working across different mediums. He hosts an honest chat about working within the arts, the support that is needed and how this unprecedented year has impacted the sector.
Laura Sheerin is someone that I have admired for a long time. I've been most familiar with her work as a director and a videographer, and her work would regularly inspire me to think about the work I want to produce.
When I would meet her, through friends, at events, at the theatre, she emulated a regal and powerful energy that always drew me towards her.
When I gave pole dancing a try, Laura was one of the people I followed to feel motivated and inspired by the rigorous work that came with the craft. And when I shared a little part of that journey she was one of the first to comment and celebrate my attempts.
I knew I wanted to get Laura on the podcast for a long time, and although I make sure to never have any expectations of how my guests will show, I was so looking forward to spending this time with Laura and getting to know the processes, the thoughts and the approaches to who I viewed as a powerful artist on the scene.
Laura is open, honest, creative, intelligent and magical. She shows all these qualities in this episode as she very graciously shows many facets of who she is through talking about her art and all the elements that have inspired the artist she is today.
At the start of this interview, Laura was an artist I would aspire to be like; multi-faceted, deeply connected and intellectual. After this interview, that all remains, along with the admiration for her story and why she is the powerful creative she is.

Fionnuala Gygax
It was 6.30am, I arrived with my new boxing gloves hanging over my shoulder, barely awake, ready to punch a bag, skip my worries away and destroy my core...
This was the setting for my first meeting with this week's guest; actor, writer, fitness coach and adventure seeker Fionnuala Gygax.
I remember telling Fionnuala about Let's Talk About The Arts in one of these early morning boxing classes, but it wasn't until we were both in back to back shows at the Abbey Theatre (a dream for us both) that I pinpointed her to be a guest.
I loved this chat and getting to know the girl who use to take me on in the "ring". We discussed how you actually pronounce her unique surname, her start as an actor, how acting has developed into other artistic outlets and passions, her theatre dad, taking back her power to create and her other big love; fitness...
Enjoy! x

José Galang
Inspired to chat to photographer, dancer and fashion icon José Galang on this week's episode.
We explore so many topics around the themes they brought for their scrapbook, including cooking, loving yourself, movement and so much more.
I was left feeling truly moved and inspired by someone who captures so much of what it means to be an artist.
