Welcome to the pilot episode for an LGBTIQ+ focussed podcast series, DILP Uncloseted. 

In this episode, we share our experiences and stories, marking the beginning of our journey to challenge the stigma and status quo surrounding the sensitive topic of identifying as a member of the LGBTIQ+ community. 

We want to create a space and dialogue for the public to connect with and understand the perspectives presented.

DILP Uncloseted: Pilot Episode

Hello and welcome to the second episode of DILP Uncloseted. We speak with William Le and his partner, Michael Turkic (over a Skype interview, so a transcript is available if need be!) about his experiences, his life, and his coming out story.

William Uy Le is a Sydney-based writer and award winning filmmaker. He and his Croatian partner Michael Turkic established International Casting and Creative Management (ICACM), Asia Pacific's leading creative agency representing artists from diverse heritage. William’s passion to raise awareness for disability issues and human rights stems from his own life experience as someone who is profoundly deaf. 

Thank you for listening and we hope you enjoy this episode!

DILP Uncloseted - Episode 2: William Le

Welcome back to another episode of DILP Uncloseted. This episode features our special guest Piper Huynh!

Piper is a Melbourne-based artist, performer and multi-skilled theatre practitioner. She co-founded the inclusive theatre company, the Echo, and has facilitated workshops in the Philippines and Sri Lanka, working independently to educate artists and young people through theatre and performance. Piper has also explored other art forms such as projection design, photography, animation and film, using these forms and performance to tell her own stories.

In this episode, Piper shares with us her stories of pursuing a non-conventional career path, whilst facing challenges of identifying within the LGBTIQ+ community, and the positive changes that have resulted thereafter. 

We hope you enjoy listening to this episode and feel as inspired as we did!

Note: For best listening experience please ensure you are in a quiet setting.
