What do you get if you crush joy, dance, comedy and fashion in a hydraulic press? Visual Artist SMAC
Osher talks a lot about how important it is to be playful in your work, and how important it is to fully commit.Playful not as a way to faff about on the clock - but as a way to discover creative ways to solve problems, to be more productive and to keep a team engaged.And to fully commit as in “look if we’re going to do this, we’re going to pour everything into it, and let’s see what happens.”SMAC is an LA based dancer who grew up in SE QLD - while you may not recognise her name, but if I told you she’s also known as hydraulic press girl - you will know exactly who.

Doing The Dishes with Napalm Death (aka a way to use music to focus like never before)
The other day when Bernard Fanning and Paul Dempsey were here, we touched on something dear to my heart - using music as a way to enhance your day. I’ve used music as a tool for as long as I can remember. To shift mood states, to help me remember things, and to concentrate. It’s the last one that had me thinking a bit - and it’s something I wanted to share with you in the hope it might be useful Spotify Playlists:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5kahhMRNRn3cGvZgnzNhzp?si=1d81b69c466c4ff9https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3boTr6G5GYwBaI78lXbVOU?si=3de2f14e675240e3Artist Instagrams:Instagram (@hailconan)Instagram (@sunnofficial) Hosted on Acast.
