About the Show
I first got the idea for this podcast during the first lockdown.
I saw a lot of anxious actors, directors, writers and other creatives talking about how they felt like they were losing their spark for their job or losing hope for the industry.
I wanted to do something to help, even if it was small.
When I was training at Drama School I really struggled with a lot of things in the rehearsal room, and I found that each director told us the same thing;
'if you're feeling stuck, there's nothing wrong with going back to your script'
And I really feel like that's something we can apply to our lives as people.
That's when the idea became solid for me: a sleep podcast centred on mental wellbeing in the Performing Arts.
Made by creators, for creators.
Helping to bring them back to the script and back to the words they love.
