Jane Grey - Authenticity, Validation, Business Models and Anaesthetising the Ego for Joy

Meet Jane Grey, Dominatrix and Co-Founder of the Scene and Unscene events. Listen in as Jane opens up about how validation, agency and recognition, drivers behind her acting career, influence her approach to domination; about her plans for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival; and how acting school shunned female sexuality. Eva Oh and Jane discuss the place of acting in a session, if they might be able to submit and how they've tried to escape the ego through the names that they've chosen. We hear about cultural theatrics and how they could shape a Dominatrix's ability and the different ways these two Dominatrices structure their businesses.
