Welcome to It Takes Two! On this podcast, we pair five emerging artists with five professional mentors to work together on an informal mentorship process. Over four weeks, pairs will develop and create a performance piece as well as record an interview together to talk about their process.In this, our first ever episode, Jacob Janzen and Kevin Jesuino have teamed up to explore queer identity, movement, and devised theatre. Jacob (@the_tallncurly) is a queer multidisciplinary devised theatre artist with roots in movement, dance, and playwriting. Currently Jacob is exploring the intersection of visual art and performance. Their work primarily focuses on the stories from within our bodies, exploring everything people wish they could really say, and the joys of simply being alive. Kevin (@kevinjesuino) is a Portuguese-Canadian queer multi-disciplinary performer, facilitator, activist, somatic practioner, movement arts coach and arts educator. His work is oftentimes collaborative, site-specific, participatory, and process-oriented. His practice explores relationality, the stories within our bodies and the magical-realism that manifests itself in LGBTQ+ communities and the natural world.
