Episode 5: Julian Bracey, co-Artistic Director of Cirque Bijou Ltd

A Monkey on Your Back: Circus and Music Podcast

25-07-2020 • 51 mins

Julian Bracey, co-artistic director of Bristol-based performance company Cirque Bijou Ltd, sits down for a chat with Miss Radida and The Amazing Gracie B. We talk about his life as an artist and director, being known as the guy who can achieve huge things in a short amount of time, and how he sees the future of the arts industry given the current Covid-19 crisis. We talk about what it was like to build spaceships and 7 metre robots for rock-band Muse's tours, working with Taylor Swift and Take That, as well as featuring brilliant tracks by female world beatboxing champion Bellatrix, the soulful voice of Bristol-based artist Lady Nade, and a stunning instrumental cello piece by Rob Lewis. Of course, we also play our intro theme once again by Aussie duo Spandex Moose. This episode was produced by Miss Radida and The Amazing Gracie B, and Gracie did the editing.
