Ep 10: The Freelance Creative

Welcome back to The Theatre Mum. We're in double figures! Those working in the creative industries are often juggling multiple jobs to keep their fire alight. On episode 10, we're joined by freelance creative Maya Waghorn, who has taken the leap into performing and creating full time, dabbling in a whole host of different jobs, including teaching in dance schools, choreographing music videos, Theatre in Education (TIE), and even producing their own shows with the Maya Musical Collective. They've been performing street dance with Funk of the Future, beat boxing with SK Shlomo and the ‘Goddexes of Beatbox’ Orchestra, and most recently performing in 'The Role of a Lifetime' at the Curve Leicester, a new play with Cathartic Party Theatre, to name a few. We discuss what it's like managing such a variety of jobs, how they found the work, mentally and literally, and the ins and outs of life as a freelance creative.  It's jam-packed with honesty, facts and frivolity - not necessarily in that order.  Content warning: Minimal swearing Follow The Theatre Mum on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetheatremum/ Follow Maya on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maya_waghorn/
