Today Matt welcomes Nasty Canasta, a burlesque producer and performer hailing from Brooklyn, NY. A producer for Wasabassco, Nasty is known by the tag line “The girl with the 44DD brain.” She was a previously a guest on the Crash Chords Podcast, Ep. #183, where she brought on Donker Mag by Die Antwoord for discussion. Today, Matt inquires into her earliest ambitions and her transition from theater to burlesque. They chat about what she looks for in other performers and the types of acts and shows she identifies with most. They chat about her most recent Wasabassco show “Unstripped Mysteries” (a tribute to the show Unsolved Mysteries), as well as her costuming skills and what goes into creating outfits. And so, from Nasty’s future as a producer to the future of burlesque as a whole, here’s presenting Matt Storm and Nasty Canasta.

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.
