This episode, Ferrero Rochelle and Rosie Verbose are joined by Invisible Cabaret troupe member, Stephanie De Whalley, AKA ‘Tootsie’, known for her fancy footwork and heartfelt performances. Join us as we chat about staying connected to your craft and creativity in lockdown, even in the midst of burnout. You can find Steph online at @stephdewhalley. She is represented by Simon & How.
I’ve always thought I was really pessimistic. I think I, particularly in this industry, like, it’s so easy to get really caught up in like, ‘Oh my God, what’s my next job?’ And like, and trying to go up the hierarchy, which is a horrible word, but sometimes you are like, ‘The next job, I want it to be maybe a bigger theatre or a bigger whatever.’ Success is a horrible driving force, I feel, sometimes. Sometimes. I think I might actually be an optimist, so there’s something.
