Alternative Bedtime Stories - The Cinderella Episode
In this, our first (re-uploaded and better sounding) episode, we talk about the beginnings of MakeyUppers.We talk about:How the Cinderella sketch was written by Gemma years before we metHow we met and bonded over mutual disillusionment with the acting industryHow we discovered that it was a feminist piece...and that we were tooDiscovering our skills and shared passion for multi-role-ing, physical theatre and clowningAccidental Theatre's Scratch Night in Belfast and needing deadlinesOur subsequent realisation of how anti - feminist the sketch actually was and how we developed a new sketch in responseHow our work has always reflected where we're at in our personal livesWhat clowning is...? What great acting needs. **PLEASE NOTE** I think 'technical issues' are the term used to explain the imperfections in the recording - I'm (Sorcha) choosing to see them as 'learning curveys'...! P.S. The clips of the sketch are from our rehearsal before the recording - I somehow managed to not record that one... Seamless! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
