    The Art of Performance with Special Guest - GRAMMY award winning singer, Catherine Russell
    Nov 27 2023

    For our final episode of this season, we chat to Grammy award winning singer, Catherine Russell.

    Catherine is an incredibly talented artist who had a career for a number of years as a backing singer with acts like Steely Dan, Cyndi Lauper, David Bowie and many more, appearing on over 200 albums.

    In 2006, she released her debut album, Cat, to rave reviews and has since released a further 7 studio albums, two of which were Grammy nominated. Throughout the years, Catherine has also toured extensively all over Asia, Australia, Europe and the United States.

    In the episode, we discuss the similarities between acting and singing, what it takes to bring a great performance to the stage and find out how the Spiritual Psychology of Acting helped Catherine to overcome various obstacles, including her initial fear of stepping out into the spotlight.

    Where Do Ideas Come From?
    Oct 13 2023

    Creating and developing our own projects is a great way of staying proactive as an actor. But how do we find that initial inspiration? What can we do to unlock the creative potential we all have hidden away? 

    In this final part of our series on Storytelling, we discuss what questions we can ask ourselves to help create meaningful art.

    From Mozart to Paul McCartney, from William Shakespeare to Phoebe Waller-Bridge – we find out what drives artists to make work that stands the test of time and resonates with others.

  • The Hero's Journey

    The Hero's Journey
    Oct 5 2023

    We continue our deep dive into storytelling this week by focusing on the work of Joseph Campbell and what he called ‘The Hero’s Journey’ – a narrative structure found in myths, legends, and stories from diverse cultures all around the world.

    Drawing on examples from popular plays and films, we discover how it continues to shape the stories that resonate with us all.

Nuggets of wisdom for improving yourself as an actor and a person!

Love the range of topics covered, currently working my way through them and stopping to make notes often, so many nuggets of wisdom and advice for personal development & wellbeing, loads of tips to help your development as an actor and also industry tips/advice. Absolutely love this podcast, in the very early stages of exploring if acting is for me or not as I have very low confidence and major imposter syndrome and I feel I’ve struck gold coming across this podcast so thank you John, Jordan & team!
