Puzzles and Poetry with Helen Bowie

August 01, 2022 • Jade Green & David Mackenzie • Season 2 • Episode 7

Our guest today is Helen Bowie, a performer, multidisciplinary writer and creative facilitator. Through her work she explores the fluidity between these areas, and the way that words interact with the world. Jade speaks to Helen about puzzles and word games, interactive performance, and the comedy of mundanity.

Pre-order Helen’s new book Exposition Ladies, ‘a love letter to the poorly-scribbled female characters of Hollywood and beyond, who exist solely to move the plot along.’

You can also follow Helen on Twitter and Instagram, and find out more about her work through her website.
