Our guest on the Mixtape this week is actor, director and award winning artist Ana Chaya Scotney.
Ana’s new play ScatterGun: After the Death of Rūaumoko is about to kick off at Tāmaki Makaurau’s Silo Theatre. It’s already picked up the New Zealand Fringe Festival ‘Outstanding Solo Performance’ and the Sydney fringe ‘Tour Ready’ award.
Ana is of Jewish, Ngāti Tāwhaki, Ngāi Tūhoe and Pakeha descent. She works as an actress and artist based in Te Whanganui a tara and has starred in Educators, Millie Lies Low, the Aotearoa hit film Cousins and most recently Alice Englert’s directorial debut Bad Behaviour.
Ana joins Maggie Tweedie to share an eclectic palate of music that inspires her creatively.
ScatterGun: After the Death of Rūaumoko runs from 18 Apr – 4 May at Silo Theatre.
