Acting, Being Visibly Trans, and Making Theatre in Meeanjin
Recorded Live on 4zzz every Tuesday morning. Tranzmission brings you the latest in trans community news, events and discussion. Tranzmission's mission is to amplify the trans and gender non-conforming voices of Meanjin/Brisbane and is brought to you by a diverse team of transqueers.
Hosts: Sean (she/her), Hazel (she/her), and Special Guest Billy Fogarty (they/them)
Sean, your favourite Abomination About Town is back in the studio with the newest member of the Tranzmission Team, Hazel! Today we are talking with Billy Fogarty, a local trans queer-gender professional actor. We talk about the power of art and performance to free us from the performative nature of gender, what it is like navigating finding roles in the mainstream culture, and the problems with altering one's body while still being considered for work.
