Pony Cam Is Taking On New York City Burnout

Is it possible to fulfill yourself creatively, complete your administrative work, have a social life, and do the menial tasks of life while also trying to survive? That’s what Australian collective Pony Cam is trying to figure out with their Off-Broadway show Burnout Paradise. With the help of the audience, four performers on treadmills try to balance all of the sectors of a full life while racing against the clock in the most exhilarating show New York has seen in awhile. I had a great conversation with Pony Cam’s Claire Bird, Ava Campbell, and William Strom about how they conceived the show, what they’ve learned from touring it around the world,  and why audiences keep coming back for more.  Get tickets for Burnout Paradise at burnoutparadise.com [http://burnoutparadise.com] running through May 23 at the Astor Place Theatre Off-Broadway.  Follow the Pony Cam (@ponycamcollective) on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/ponycamcollective]  Follow Jane (@janeaugust) on Instagram [http://instagram.com/janeaugust] and TikTok [http://tiktok.com/@janeaugust] Find out more at janeaugust.nyc [https://www.janeaugust.nyc/] Email: janeaugustnyc@gmail.com This episode of the 'The Next Stop Is...' was recorded at BRIC House in Downtown Brooklyn with support from BRIC and premiered on Brooklyn Free Speech Radio.

Bridging Cultures with German Consul General Till Knorn

In the daily ups and downs of living in New York City, I sometimes forget how global the city is. People come from all over the world to visit, live, and work here. One of the most valuable resources for those people is their home country’s consulate which works to bridge cultures and provide support.  Last year, I got to chat with German Consul General Till Knorn about leading the consulate, his love for New York City, and how we can strengthen relations between Germany and the US during this political moment.  Follow the German Consulate of New York (@germanyny_) on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/germanyny_]    Follow Jane (@janeaugust) on Instagram [http://instagram.com/janeaugust] and TikTok [http://tiktok.com/@janeaugust] Find out more at janeaugust.nyc [https://www.janeaugust.nyc/] Email: janeaugustnyc@gmail.com This episode of the 'The Next Stop Is...' was recorded at BRIC House in Downtown Brooklyn with support from BRIC and premiered on Brooklyn Free Speech Radio.

How Noble Signs Is Preserving NYC History

The style and scale of a sign gives a storefront that unique New York City look. And in a time when it seems like the whole world is going digital, Noble Signs sticks to old-school practices of making handmade signs at their studio in Brooklyn and preserving the artform through the New York Sign Museum.  Last year, I got to chat with Noble Sign’s co-founder David Barnett about New York City sign art, what goes into saving signs for the museum, and how they’re working to keep signmaking alive in the digital age.  Follow Noble Signs (@noblesigns) on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/noblesigns] and New York Sign Museum (@nysignmuseum) on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/nysignmuseum] Find Noble Signs at noblesigns.com [http://noblesigns.com] Book a museum tour at nysignmuseum.org [http://nysignmuseum.org] Follow Jane (@janeaugust) on Instagram [http://instagram.com/janeaugust] and TikTok [http://tiktok.com/@janeaugust] Find out more at janeaugust.nyc [https://www.janeaugust.nyc/] Email: janeaugustnyc@gmail.com This episode of the 'The Next Stop Is...' was recorded at BRIC House in Downtown Brooklyn with support from BRIC and premiered on Brooklyn Free Speech Radio.

Beyond the Apple Dance with Kelley Heyer

No one can argue that Charli XCX’s brat took over the world last year, but I would argue that the “Apple” dance played a major role in the album’s fan engagement. And while creating the dance has many dubbing her “the Apple girl,” Kelley Heyer is so much more than that.  I got to chat with Kelley about navigating online stardom, her rising acting career, working with New York Outrigger, and more. They are so charming and I really loved this conversation.
