In this episode, Mishu sits down with Chicago-based actor, singer, and dancer Edwina Luokkola Burckhardt to talk about finding creative freedom after the rigidity of musical theatre. From the pandemic pause to co-writing and starring in Roller Babiez, Edwina opens up about rediscovering her voice, learning to build art from the ground up, and the joy of collaboration that keeps her motivated.
🎬 Edwina Burckhardt holds a B.F.A. in Musical Theatre and has performed in productions including Medea and Pussy Sludge. In recent years, she’s shifted from performer to creator—writing, producing, and starring in the upcoming feature Roller Babiez, and co-directing Coming Over alongside Daisy Allen.
We talk about:
→ How skating with friends sparked the idea for Roller Babiez
→ Relearning how to make art “from the bottom up” after musical theatre training
→ The power of collaboration and creating without institutional validation
→ Finding joy in being intentional—rather than prolific
→ How performance changes when you’re finally allowed a little control
