Episode 35 – Mask

The Cat gets performative in a barnstorming episode from the town of Beechworth, with a sensational special guest: actor, freeformer, poet and Bram Stoker Award nominated author, the preternatural Kyla Lee Ward . While Kaaron paces the women's ward of the asylum and Aaron loses his voice to Bon Jovi, Joseph mansplains a cat into a pigeon. Kyla immerses herself in phantasmal spaces. Voices are discussed, and accents, intonation and word choice. Feeling a character in the throat. The slippery strangeness of the voice. Also working your way into a character from the outside versus working your way out from within. Rebecca is revisited, as is Kaaron's 'hambone effect.' Mimicry as a stepping stone, the formation, fluidity or calcification of the self. The masks we all wear, and other matters of a deep and divers nature. Pretexts and semblances spoken of in this episode include: AsylumFest 2023 Bloodsongs magazine Richard Adams' Watership Down Robyn Cadwallader's The Anchoress Stanislavski's 'Method' Daphne Du Maurier's Rebecca Kyla's novella The Final Masque Photos courtesy of the incontestable Cat Sparks.
