MUM in development

Sam and I met in a workshop and felt a similarity in our playful approach to working and sense of curiosity and discovery. Since then, Sam has had two babies (one very recently!) and we talk about never imagining a time where we would say "no" to work, now saying no more often and the reasons that lead us to this and much more. This conversation reminded me why I loved working with Sam - she has a great mind and asks great questions. About Elle and to get in contact: https://elleevangelista.com Want to support?

This is episode is with the truly wonderful Caroline Hopson. I met Caro while we worked together on a show for the Australian Chamber Orchestra. Our babies were about four months old and with us at work. We speak about our desire to continue our practice and the way that music and dance continue to draw us back and consequently, our weekly identity crisis we have because of this. Want more?
