Apples and Snakes: The Podcast

Poet. Performer. Cultural changemaker. In just a few years Travis Alabanza has become one of the most exciting young performance artists in the queer arts scene. In this episode, Travis joins Yomi to unpack how poetry has sparked their wider creativity from fashion and theatre to fearless performance. They dive into their groundbreaking sell-out show ‘Burgerz’ and explore how lived experience can be transformed into electrifying art. Plus, Travis and Yomi react to a performance by poet Joelle Taylor, a radical presence in the LGBTQ+ genre, which ignites something powerful in the room. A raw, unfiltered conversation on being authentic, brave and re-making the rules.
