Eurovision Chat Over Coffee, with Creative Director Ace Bowerman

What this episode covers

Every performance at the Eurovision Song Contest comes not only from the artists, but also from many collaborations behind the scenes that all work together to bring the best experience possible to those watching. That includes the Creative Director; their ability to reflect and project moods, emotions, meaning, and more to the audience can lift performances to greater heights. Ace Bowerman is one of those directors. Working with the United Kingdom and Azerbaijan delegations, she brings both Remember Monday and Mamagama's visions to the Basel stage. Between rehearsals, Ace joined Ewan Spence to talk about creativity. Part of that includes the ideas behind the staging of 'What The Hell Just Happened' and 'Run With U', but they also talk about Ace's path to being a Creative Director, supporting themselves through University, and early roles. How did their work change during the COVID pandemic lockdown, and what emotions did they feel when the world started to open up again? Was the Eurovision call expected, and what one thing did Remember Monday bring to the early meetings that helped the process? Ewan Spence and the ESC Insight team bring you the latest news from the world of the Eurovision Song Contest.
