House of Androgyny

Host: John Graham

Guests: @dalekcreative @callumsterling @jordana_rev

In this episode of the @base_pod @mrjgraham talks with some of the team and talent from the agency House of Androgyny, @wearehoa. We speak with agency founder and @basedancestudios teacher @dalekcreative and their partner @callumsterling as well as @jordana_rev who shares her story of being a transgender performer in the industry in Australia, Hong Kong and London. We touch on many topics from the importance of pronouns to how artists are represented by their agents and how much an agency understands and knows their artists and how to advocate for them. We discuss how LGBTQIA+ culture is represented on screen and hear personal experiences our guests have all been through in the industry and the performing arts education system. This is an opening conversation into representation within the dance community and industry as we begin to look at how people feel represented by what they see on screen and stage, in the positions of power in the industry and even how or whether they feel understood and taken care of by the agents who get paid to represent them. The conversation flew by and before we knew it we were nearly 2 hours in. There is much more left to discuss and share but we hope you enjoy and a big thank you to our 3 guests for sharing so much of their own experiences.
