Alexis chat with Bri Emrich, a multidisciplinary performer whose work moves fluidly between dance, aerial arts, acrobatics, and physical theatre. Based in Melbourne (Naarm) with roots in Perth, Bri shares her journey from classical ballet training at WAAPA to developing a bold, distinctive voice in aerial performance.
Bri shares her journey of aerial apparatus (hoop, net, and acrobatics) along with her immersive theatre and cabaret roles and deep dives into the reality of burnout as a creative and how she overcame hers.

Alexis sits down with Sarah Eida, an artist working at the intersection of music, embodiment, and performance identity. From her intimate work as a songwriter to commanding the stage as the leading force behind Howling Mountain, and stepping into the electrifying persona of Sassa Von Vuur, Sarah doesn’t compartmentalise her creativity, she multiplies it. Different stages, same nervous system. Together, they explore alter egos, authorship, vulnerability, and what it means to fully inhabit every version of yourself as an artist.
