Reel Stories - Emily Jane Kerr

In this episode of Reel Stories we checked in with our first female guest in the series, Emily Jane Kerr. Emily is an actor who trained at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and is currently part of ‘Notflix’, The UK's original all-female long-form musical improvisation team. In this episode we discuss work-life balance in the industry, female body image and the negative side of theatre reviews on actor’s mental health. We also discuss her lived experience of imposter syndrome, self-harm which comes in the form of skin-picking, suicide and the importance of stopping caring what other people think about you.
