“I have seen so much shit over the years that it is so hard to actually nut down what I think is the most cringeworthy!”

A prolific performer and producer across stage and screen, Naomi Price knows what she’s talking about.

Long before she dazzled audiences – and superstar Ricky Martin – on The Voice Australia, Price had cemented her well-earned reputation as a tenacious and talented entertainer.

She’s delivered a moving Mary Magdalene and taken a wrecking ball to Miley Cyrus; performed in the premiere season of Ladies in Black and toured Australia in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical.

But, as she discusses frankly and fearlessly with IMHO, she’s ready to make an even bigger splash in Queensland’s arts and entertainment industry.

“My provocation to women is, why are we continuing to realise men’s vision?”

In this podcast, Price draws on her formidable experience to map out her aspirations for the state’s creative and performance sector.

She is unflinchingly honest about her own artistic leadership ambitions, her blueprint for engaging Queensland audiences, her plans to flip “pedestrian theatre” on its head and why she will never take part in Sober October again.

“I’d rather be ignited with something – with an opinion, with a thought, with passion, with conviction – than walk away from another piece of diluted rubbish.”
