I asked my female and non-binary guests the same four questions, and together, we followed the intriguing threads of story and curiosity as they unspooled. 1 - Where are you and whose traditional (Indigenous) territory are you on? 2 - What’s your favourite fairytale/ancient tale? 3 - What’s your relationship with your body like? 4 - And what’s your connection to your creativity?
