SIM Ep 864 Chops 260: Jude Kelly is a Primadonna

In a career spanning more than 40 years, Jude Kelly – theatre director, and CEO and founder of the WOW Foundation – has done A LOT. As well as her previous role as artistic director of London’s Southbank Centre, she also set up the hugely successful global Women of the World festival, and is one of the 17 founding “primadonnas” behind the Primadonna Festival, which returns for its fifth year, this summer. In this week’s Chops, she chats to Jen about the festival, her career highlights, platforming women, and dismantling prejudice. WOW indeed. The Primadonna Festival takes place in Stowmarket, Suffolk, July 28-30. Tickets available now. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast.
