Episode 8: Ivory Fox

I sit down over a plate of meat and cheese with the extraordinary performer Ivory Fox as we discuss her childhood in gymnastics and ballet and moving in to NYU dance school and auditions and our thoughts on musical theater and beyond.

Ivory is an uber talented performer in many arenas including theater, burlesque, circus, and beyond. She commands a stage and her recent performance art BHOF supports my statements.

Knowing your dream is one thing, but persevering no matter what is something I am most interested in and Ivory does that in spades. Come listen to our laughs and moments!

 

Ivory Fox is a teacher at Body and Pole in NYC

She performs regularly with Wasabassco Burlesque, at Duane Park, and was recently in the Bindlestiff Family Circus show!

Episode 7: Bettina May

A candid conversation with the multi-talented Bettina May. As an artist and activist, Bettina talks about what it is like to be a Canadian Greencard holder in this “new America”, the reason failure isn’t a bad thing, and the joys of ride sharing among a bevy of other fun and interesting topics.

Most importantly we discuss making your own art and working towards different goals. In coming weeks I am hoping to discuss more with people about what the triumphs and pitfalls of being a working artist is and what failures and successes can teach us!

Episode 6: Katie Hartman

Sit back and listen to my conversation with friend of 15 years, comedy genius, Katie Hartman. Katie is a hilarious actress and comedy writer who is one half of Skinny Bitch Jesus Meeting, and also a person I met while at college at Sarah Lawrence.

We discuss our time with the fantastic Fanchon Scheier in Dramatic Imrpov during our time at SLC, as well as Katie’s hilarious yet embarrassing time dealing with the “hair down there”. This is a fun and light talk and I could not be more lucky to call Katie a friend.

Episode 5: Fancy Feast

A candid conversation with producer, host, burlesque performer, and all around talented human, Fancy Feast. I think I can honestly say, what didn’t we talk about!?!? We discussed Fancy’s time at film school at Oberlin and in Prague, as well as hosting and what it’s like to host for peers as opposed to the general public.

 We also go into the ups and downs of more notoriety on social media, the genius that is Hamilton, power lifting, sex toys, and our hopes for the future of burlesque. In addition, we go in to talking about the word fat and what we might mean when we say it.

Please note that we do discuss sexual assault and rape culture and if this is triggering to you, the times it is discussed are  from around 12:05 to 18:05…

I got to sit down with the powerhouse of entertainment that is Pearls Daily. We discuss her time performing on a Disney Cruise ship, just a touch on her work in commercials, her love of style and fashion and how to translate into how you carry yourself everyday. In addition, Pearls has a deeply love of everything she does and her zest and desire to do what she wants translates in to an excellent lesson in to how to pursue your dreams and re-evaluate so you can keep doing what you love. And there is the ultimate question we touch on briefly…What Do You Want?!?!

Yes, that’s right, another week of just the dulcet sounds of my voice, as Alaska seemed to be untamable….or I was too distracted by performing, friends, and DOGSLEDDING!!!  Hear my talk about my Alaskan adventures, including Koots, the Great Alaska Bush Company, and the Alaskan Mushing School.

I also go in to a brief moment of why I use the term, “Don’t shit on my dessert”.
