26. Jane Yonge: directing, inspiration, rest

Jane is a Fiji-Chinese-Pākehā New Zealander, a theatre director, maker, dramaturg and creator, an arts politics nerd, policy and strategy writer. I ask Jane about her academic, arts and work background as well as some personal stuff and just generally what’s going on for her right now including being pregnant and directing Scenes from a Yellow Peril - which is a show you must go to in June/July this year if you’re in Auckland. We also talk about systemic stuff, boundaries, overworking, being afraid of the dark and more. janeyonge.nz ☕️ SUPPORT the podcast: https://ko-fi.com/asianinaotearoa FOLLOW @asianinaotearoa on Instagram VISIT asianinaotearoa.com ___ ABOUT THE PODCAST Hosted by Jenna Wee, Asian in Aotearoa (New Zealand) explores the lives of Asian creatives, one uncensored convo at a time.
