Conversations with artists about storytelling

These interview/conversations with artists, about story & storytelling, are accidental podcasts. They're part of a Develop Your Creative Practise process I undertook in 2021-2022, funded by Arts Council England.As part of an exploration of Storytelling, I interviewed artists working across a range of disciplines, about how they work with story, their creative processes & ways of working.Each interviewee introduced me to the next person; creating a chain of conversations across the UK's artistic landscape; from directors & writers, to composters, designers & digital content creators.They're pretty much unedited & contain language, opinions or views that solely reflect the speaker.

Becky-Dee Trevenen on designing for story

March 07, 2023 • Karen P • Season 1 • Episode 12

Becky-Dee is a designer, making theatre to foster empathy, learning & community. Collaboration is essential to her process to develop honest, visual storytelling & expression. Her work varies from abstract to highly detailed, aiming to develop a specific atmosphere which is evocative, not didactic.

She trained at the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Sydney Australia, moving to London as a Drama Awardee from the BBMYS, to explore the role of a designer in immersive & devised performance.

Amongst others, Becky has worked with Punchdrunk, Coney, Bazmark, Tangled Feet & Gecko Theatre.

This conversation was recorded in July 2022, so some of the references are a little old. It’s pretty much unedited & contain language, opinions or views that solely reflect the speaker.

My next guest in this series of storytelling interviews is composer & sound designer, John Biddle.
