The FreeBird team chats with creators, entrepreneurs, founders, writers, and many other -ers about business, life, and how to navigate both.
Kirsten talks to Alana Ashley, Blue Bradfield and Jida Akil of Whitecard Collective, a community of recent graduate designers in theatre and performance, looking to support and empower early-career artists. As “the next voices in live performance design”, they have a lot to say about how the current crisis is affecting early-career theatre artists, the kind of work that is persisting despite the pandemic, and what support recent graduates should be getting from the government, the industry, and more established artists.
We've all been watching, listening and reading so much content this past year, and yet when it comes to valuing sectors financially and supporting workers through tough times, the arts suddenly seem like the last thing on anyone's mind. Yasmin, Kirsten and Muriel ask themselves why and rave about their favourite experiences of films and shows.
FreeBird meets with Stefanie Sword-Williams, the founder and author of Fck Being Humble. Fck Being Humble is a business, event series and book, that helps individuals overcome the fear of self-promotion.
