I Pod a Spell on You
Episode 2: Sleep w/ Alice Christina-Corrigan
Welcome to I Pod a Spell On You - Edy Hurst's Wonderfull Discoverie of Witches Podcast, the show where we speak with Disabled and Neurodivergent Artists from across the industry and use magic, spell and best guesses from pre-1700s literature to help solve all their (and our) problems.
This week Edy is joined by the Visually-Impaired Actor, Writer, Theatremaker and current Canada to UK commuter, Alice Christina-Corrigan. With the wild elation of successfully delivering a spell to an actual practicing witch, what's next on the agenda? A good night's sleep? Surely not.
Alice Christina-Corrigan is an actor, theater maker and advocate for accessibility in the arts. She recently completed a national tour of her one-woman show 'Past Life' and is developing a new play 'Fade' supported by Developed with The Lowry and Arts Council. She has also appeared on the BBC show Doctors, and is currently filming a show that we are not allowed to mention anything more about.
