Join us for part 2 of Zed's interview with Jonathan Becker. What does the future of creation look like? Who creates and what is then shared or exchanged in the space between? How can we leverage theatre to create for communities?
Back to our classic format, we discuss awareness without judgement, the desire to produce creative output from life's moments versus just letting them be. Art, creativity, connection & vulnerability all without judgement and simultaneously intangible.
Enjoy part one of two episodes with Zed & Jonathan Becker, a master mask maker, teaching artist and performer, as they explore what failure's edge of success looks like. In learning how to learn, the mask and the individual inform each other simultaneously. Failure, repetition & feeling; tools for the performer in sharing discoveries with audiences.

What do you do with your time? We only have so much of it. Tarik, Zayne & Zed talk about their respective journeys with hobbies, sport & theatre. We explore extra-curricular activities, community bonding and sacrificing time & energy in juggling creative industries with paid work.
Join Zed Hopkins, Zayne Woodley Lake and Tarik Dibb as they respond to the insightful, strange and just plain confusing! Our long awaited Episode 10 holds none of the promises, yet all of the bonuses. Live audio from "It's Happening" networking event, live reflections & more!
In a reflective episode, we break away from our conventional studio format and into a conversation between Zed and his dear friend Nour, where they dissect individualistic experiences of creative writing ideation & processes. Discover some lessons learned through work & life as emerging artists with a career trajectory. How can we set intentions behind our culture of consumption and how do we use art to explore different perspectives & new ways of living?
The team reflect on a profound experience they shared as a part of "BrisFest". What do we aspire to achieve both in life & creatively, what it takes to smile at strangers & soft-nuts.
This week we explore interactions with Social Media as Creatives. Discover Zayne' struggles with technology, Zed's desire for authenticity and Tarik's insights to platform-specific content creation. Here's a video that further explains what we discuss.
