Out of the Box

This week on Out of the Box, Kate Saap is joined by Gadigal-based Choreographer, performer and director Emma Harrison.

Watching Emma perform on the stage, the words visceral, emotional, free-following, experiential and dramatic come to mind. But her creative practice extends even beyond this, with works encompassing voice, film and theatre. 

Ahead of the premiere of her show HIGH OCTANE at the Campbelltown Arts Centre on Friday March 28th, we’ve got Emma here to talk about the music and stories that have influenced her life to date, her multidisciplinary practice, reconnecting to the world through our bodies and movement, and which Severance character she looks like (hint: it’s definitely who you think).

This episode was produced and edited by Zaity Salman.

This week, Béla chats to Sydney/Eora based experimental musician, AnSo.

AnSo is the artist moniker of producer, songwriter and performer Soie An. Their latest album It’s Myself That I Crave was voted in at number 5 on last year’s Wettest 100 album countdown.

AnSo joins Béla in the studio to talk about how performance informs their work, experimenting with found sounds, and dancing in public fountains.

This week, Kate talks with Alix Higgins, one of the most exciting voices in contemporary Australian fashion around right now. Alix Higgins was named the 2023 Australian Fashion Laureate emerging designer of the year, and was one of the finalists for the National Designer Awards.

Alix joins Kate in the studio to chat all things pop girls, fashion memes, and how to level up your style.

This week, Kate talks with Mallrat, right off the back of the release of her brand new album, Light hit my face like a straight right.

Mallrat and Kate chat using your voice as an instrument, preparing to tour with Kylie Minogue, and how Jason Derulo is the modern Prince.

Co-host of the show Kate Saap and co-producer Zaity Salman chat for an hour about makeup, rnb, and being radically yourself. They have had so much fun over the past year working on the program and are so excited to talk to new guests when out of the box returns.
