For our first episode I am talking to theatre maker, scriptwriter and performer Shey Hargreaves. Her work ranges from live theatre and poetry, to audio and video content. She has a passion for using storytelling to explore complex issues such as the climate crisis, our national health service, and the challenges faced by women in science. As well as being a brilliant artist she is also a mother to 3 small children. Her partner is a key worker in the NHS and so she has been spending most of her time supporting her partner and looking after their children. In this episode we talk about the difficulty in juggling careers and children, the importance of art at this time and how vital it is to take time for yourself. We begin by talking about how life informs our art and how her tendency towards oversharing developed in to her one woman show Sick.
