ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This week Bronte Charlotte chats with Kaine Hansen about his show Wonderwall that was on at the Melbourne Comedy Festival ‘21 earlier this year. We talk about his experience creating his first solo show, how our attitudes towards death and loss and our own mortality can change suddenly, and the new exciting show he is working on for the Melbourne Fringe Festival, Close Encounters of the Murdering Kind with Sabina Gerardi!
During this episode we discuss:
- [02:30] How Kaine and Bronte met, high school bullies that impact your life, and how fascinating it is to see people change
- [07:45] Having all the time in the world to practice your art but still not having time to perfect anything, the confusion and pressure of labels and wanting to just focus on one thing, how Kaine got into acting and music and performing
- [15:41] Losing friends and family and how everyone deals with loss differently
- [20:53] Experiencing those existential moments of life and death, understanding death in different ways through cultures and religions that aren’t your own
- [27:36] Making Wonderwall, getting on stage after Melbourne lockdowns, writing music and comedy
- [30:23] Moving out of an institution learning with the same theatre makers for 3 years and into a solo show, the normalcy of procrastination, allowing your peers to inspire you, the fluctuations of creativity and being kind to yourself
- [38:47] Fringe 2021 and what's coming up for both of us, Close Encounters of the Murdering Kind, Pieces of Shit, poo stories and Bluey
- [50:42] Understanding the industry and knowing that so much is out of your hands, but finding your contentment in the creations you make
- [55:34] Creative joy and excitement, being proactive and interested in your mental health
