Episode Three: ‘Getting Stuff Done’ with Dr Jessi Parrott

Performer and creative writer Dr Jessi Parrott talks to Zara having recently completed a PhD which centred around research into disability as an employment issue in UK theatre and television. They discuss balancing creative and academic work during the pandemic and how singing in a virtual choir has helped them feel connected to a wider community and been a tonic for feelings of isolation and loneliness. Self-described as a queer disabled artist, Jessi has a lot of enlightening views around representation and inclusion within the arts industry, and celebrates the resourcefulness and openness of the disabled community. As well as shining a light on Jessi’s quick wit and fierce intelligence, the podcast also celebrates Zara and her guest’s passion for myths and fantasy - join them as they agonise over their preference for unicorns or dragons in an entertaining game of ‘would you rather’!
