S10 E4: Alaura O'Dell

I Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee

I first met Alaura when we did an online workshop for the South London Arts Lab in October 2020. It was a practical exploration of Stream of Consciousness writing. It was called “Telling The Stories We Were Always Told To Keep Secret”, where we were encouraged to delve into our memory to write about things that have a hold over us, maybe things we are ashamed of, afraid of, whatever that hold may be. This had a very profound effect on me and I have to say took my interest in the importance of mindset to a bit of a higher ground.
This is one string to her wide reaching bow. She’s a multidisciplinary artist, teacher, writer, speaker, visual and sound artist.
She was also a pivotal member of Psychic TV for 10 years, being married to Genese P-Orridge from 1981 to around 1992, before they separated.
This is a fabulous conversation about her formative years, getting into 23 Skidoo, then Psychic TV, how she’s navigated her way through the good and bad times, how she herself has evolved and the next decisive chapter in her life.
