In the series 3 opener we are joined by Milly Sweeney, writer of Water Colour and winner of the The Stage Debut’s Best Writer Award.

We talked about how Water Colour came to be, both by inspiration and by the dreaded application form. Listen to discover what it takes to sell a good idea and what Milly’s advice is for anyone looking to pursue a career in playwriting.

It’s the third and final episode of the second series of In Dialogue – the podcast for emerging artists.

On this week’s finale, we are joined by Isaac Frost and Hannah McGregor to talk about touring as early-career artists. After recently returning from the Encounters tour, they discuss what slow-touring is and why more early-career artists should consider hitting the road with their own work.

Thanks for joining us for series 2 – and be sure to follow along with us to learn when the next series is here.

Isaac Frost is a playwright and theatre-maker based in Edinburgh. His work is concerned with bureaucracy, button-pushing, and biopolitics – as well as trans lives, hypothetical trans futures, and systems that could, frankly, be a whole lot better than they are right now. He is a founding member of trans theatre collective Speakbeast, with whom he has performed at Camden People’s Theatre, Theatre Deli, and the Edinburgh Fringe.

Hannah McGregor is a writer/theatre-maker from Glasgow, now a traitor based in Edinburgh. They like to explore identity in their work - queerness, nationality, gender identity, politics - and the tensions at the intersection of them all. They are passionate about pushing the boundaries of queer and trans performance, and building community through laughter, music, and all things joyful. They are inspired by magic, nature, and solidarity, and believe there’s a bit of each to be found everywhere.

Thanks for listening to the second episode of our new series of In Dialogue – the podcast for emerging artists.

This week we’re talking feedback, with the help of contributors Annie Lowry Thomas and Jordan Blackwood, host Josie asks why it is so hard to give our peers critical feedback and how we can use that very process as artists to develop our work.
