Tigermilk Collective has just put up a new show at PAL Theatre in Vancouver. “House of Kosa” is a biting look at the fashion industry’s destructive commodification of women. I grabbed an interview with playwright Miranda Huba about her process, the Tigermilk agenda, and the oh-so-fabulous clothes. (We feel objectified, but then we kinda like it, don’t we girls?) Interview.

Interview with The Wet Spots about Shine

Shine, A Burlesque Musical, hit Performance Works in July. Campy, warm, sexy and sassy, Shine brings out the toast-throwing, titty shaking diva in all of us. Burlesque is a rough and tumble world of sequins and love, where heart and sass and valued more than the perfect high C or precise box step. During Shine, we all become part of a loving, if somewhat offbeat family, that embraces our rough edges with bravery and enthusiasm. I interviewed Shine podcast Cass King and John Woods, who composed the show. Check out The Wet Spots.

Sharkwater

“For filmmaker Rob Stewart, exploring sharks began as an underwater adventure. What it turned into was a beautiful and dangerous life journey into the balance of life on earth.

Filmed in visually stunning, high definition video, Sharkwater takes you into the most shark rich waters of the world, exposing the exploitation and corruption surrounding the world’s shark populations in the marine reserves of Cocos Island, Costa Rica and the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. “ – www.sharkwater.com Interview.
