Mandy Nolan gets real talking about mother daughter relationships.

This week has seen two new podcasts go online from Mandy Nolan. Mandy was chatting to Katie Cooper-Wares a creative who works with the dance troupe Sprung and Jaclyn Cunningham the co-founder of Radiant Women.

‘Sprung have a funding campaign they have kicked off for their upcoming October show for NORPA – for O HoW I Dreamt of Things Impossible,’ says Mandy.

‘They are such an exciting dance troupe – I love the way they lead the choreography rather than having choreography forced on them. It’s a disability led project that I think creates a really exciting new visual narrative.’
