The Work Needs to be Personal - Featuring Christian Bufford (he/they)

Teacakes & Tarot: Conversations with Queer Futurists

Featuring multi-disciplinary artist who blends the lines of theatre, dance, and film Christian Bufford | he/they:
Will peppers Christian with questions about life as a multi-disciplinary artist. Christian stresses the need for balance when navigating so many mediums while also finding a balance amongst their passions. Achieving balance through producing, executing through inventing, Christian celebrates the staying power of collaboration and never apologizing for paying attention. An artist should always find a way to bring their self to the work regardless of their designated role or position. Parental guidance suggested: episode includes kissing *shocked face emoji*

In Teacakes and Tarot: Conversations with Queer Futurists, host Will Wilhelm (they/them) welcomes an artistic crush for an intimate chat and a reading. Each episode features a new queer guest discussing art, life in our industry, and their dreams and intentions while the world of performance waits in the wings. Together, they hold space to summon more inclusive, exciting, and queer-friendly ways to create. As the candle burns low, Will offers their guest a unique tarot reading to give them greater insight on a personal journey. It's one part cocktail party and one part slumber party that will leave you stirred but never shaken.
