This podcast is a deep dive into the world of artists who are making their own work. We interview performer/makers. We ask about the creative aspects (where they get their ideas, and what inspires them) as well as the practical stuff (funding, producing, casting etc). The idea of this podcast is to create a useful resource, and source of inspiration for other artists wanting to learn more about the process of making their own work.
