In just a few years <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/travisalabanza\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Travis Alabanza<\/a> has become one of the most exciting young performance artists in the queer arts scene. In this episode, Travis joins Yomi to unpack how poetry has sparked their wider creativity from fashion and theatre to fearless performance. They dive into their groundbreaking sell-out show \u2018Burgerz\u2019 and explore how lived experience can be transformed into electrifying art. Plus, Travis and Yomi react to a performance by poet Joelle Taylor, a radical presence in the LGBTQ+ genre, which ignites something powerful in the room. A raw, unfiltered conversation on being authentic, brave and re-making the rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Watch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Travis Alabanza | Apples and Snakes: The Podcast\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MZ7JS6BDAXs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Listen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe title=\"S4 EP 4 | Travis Alabanza\" allowtransparency=\"true\" height=\"300\" width=\"100%\" style=\"border: none; min-width: min(100%, 430px);height:300px;\" scrolling=\"no\" data-name=\"pb-iframe-player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podbean.com\/player-v2\/?from=embed&#038;i=gvss7-19bb1a1-pb&#038;square=1&#038;share=1&#038;download=0&#038;fonts=Arial&#038;skin=1b1b1b&#038;font-color=auto&#038;rtl=0&#038;logo_link=episode_page&#038;btn-skin=1&#038;size=300\" loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Poet.
