Don't Speak

Amy has sailed her boat up from her office job through the rain to top and tail the pod this week - where our subject is PERIODS, AND PEACHES, for Series 2 pod DON'T PREACH* *do, please do. This week Miriam speaks to Lucy Peach, Period Preacher and Folk Pop Singer. Sitting on the floor of the Brighthelm Centre in the Doghouse venue at Brighton Fringe the two chat as Lucy does her make-up before the show, ‘My Greatest Period Ever.’ Covering topics from ‘the party before you go out partying is the best bit’ through to Period, channeling your fury, the Music Industry and being a woman this is a tight 30 mins from a woman about to do her day job on stage! Lucy Peach is gaining notoriety of the best kind - as a open and brilliant source of info and guidance on how to harness the power of the period. Looking at the hormonal changes throughout a cycle enables us to understand why we feel how we feel.

EP TWENTY ONE! SERIES TWO! SEASON TWO! TAKE YOUR PICK! We’re back after a short break where we did some life stuff. So we’re calling this S2 Don’t Speak. This week Miriam looks back to an interview from February 2019 when she spoke with Rachel Healy the Co-Artistic Director, Adelaide Festival. Rachel has held many big positions in Theatre across Australia, from Belvoir St Theatre, Sydney Opera House, and now AF. Miriam was offered an interview by the team at the Festival and went in looking to discover how a woman running a huge event takes it in her stride and serves to inspire and support more women coming through in a very male dominated environment. We talk about parenting, sharing the parenting in a cis het relationship, seeing women working in theatre and having their back, travel all around the globe, watching new companies come through alongside the already well-know, and how Australian theatre is doing in terms of pushing for further intersectional work on the fancy, leading stages.
