Fringe club will hopefully have some around the place as well, and hopefully in the fringe offices. Yeah, so we've been, let's say, like pushing the content with some quotes from our former friends from all over the place.
What happens when the arts meet personal healing? In this episode of 'Why Am I Like This?!', Tash and Caitlin sit down with Laura Desmond from Big Mood to chat about her experiences at the Adelaide Fringe Festival. Laura opens up about the challenges she's faced, including sexual assault, depression, and suicide, and how these have shaped her work and life.
Her candid discussion sheds light on the importance of creating safe spaces within the arts community, especially during high-stress events like the Fringe. Laura's journey is one of resilience and vulnerability. She shares how performing at the Adelaide Fringe has been both a challenge and a source of healing. By fostering a supportive environment, she aims to help others who might be struggling with similar issues.
Tash and Caitlin also explore the broader impact of vulnerability in the arts, discussing how opening up can lead to profound personal growth and community support. This episode is a heartfelt conversation that goes beyond the stage. It's about understanding the deep connection between mental health and artistic expression. Whether you're part of the arts community or someone looking for inspiration and support, Laura's story is a powerful reminder that healing often comes through sharing our stories.
Tune in to hear how Laura Desmond navigates her path with Big Mood at the Adelaide Fringe, and discover how the arts can be a beacon of hope for those facing personal struggles.
