We open Season 2 of Creative Conversations with a superstar episode to kick off 2019. Stage actor and performing artist Stephanie van Driesen joins host Yang-May Ooi to talk about what it takes to be a superstar in musical theatre in South East Asia, and why she is passionate about always learning and developing her craft.

Stephanie first contacted me a few months ago for permission to perform an extract from my solo theatre show Bound Feet Blues as part of a showcase evening. I was delighted and said Yes – but unfortunately could not go and see her show. I did catch up with her, however, a few days afterwards to hear how it went. On meeting her, I was immediately struck by her star presence and also her warmth and generosity of spirit. At a cafe at Hays Galleria, one hour turned into two and then three as we talked and laughed and sparked off each other’s creative energy.

I knew I had to invite her onto Creative Conversations to share her exuberant love of theatre and her passion for her craft with a wider audience.
