Welcome to Rat Chats, where we have a chill convo with the artists behind upcoming performing arts works. Today we sit down with Jess Karamjeet (Redundant), Jazmine Rose Phillips (Their Feet Did Not Touch The Ground), and Olivia Hall & Carrie Rudzinski (The Bitching Hour). With performances that are centred on representing complex identities and stories, we have an invigorating chat about the ethics of representation, the rise of performance poetry, and creating works that get under your skin.
