Out of Nothing is a podcast about theatre making where Ioana Pitic, Jamie Wood and Ines Ruiz interview a variety of theatre artists on their creative process. The journey from seed to stage has no map or recipe, so how does anyone do it? It’s definitely not all luck, and it’s definitely not up to the universe, yet each show has a unique story. In sharing these stories, we aim to create a cloud of experiences that will hold valuable lessons for anyone out there who has a show to write, produce, perform and direct.
Talking to Jose Parra about the process behind his solo show, 'Tomatoes Don't Fly', we discuss the foreshadowing that takes place during the making process of your show, and how all your ideas, scenes and characters are there from the very beginning, lingering beneath the surface, waiting to bloom and take shape.

The Limit of Clever
In this episode we talk to Natalie Bellingham about cleverness in the creative process and how it can turn out limiting it. Starting from 'how to make a show' workshops, we draw the connections between trying to be clever, the pressure to be good and rigidity in the room. Bringing in research materials can be quite useful in a making process, but when is it time to let the questions and the intelect take a break and follow your instinct instead?

The Crackle
In this episode we chat with Steven Camden aka Polarbear about what is actually intriguing and activating to us as creators, performers and audience members. When creating, some prefer an retreat, some need to be in the middle of it all . Some love the process, and some revel in the performance. And when it comes to watching someone else... It turns out it’s really important that they enjoy themselves.
