Today we’re honored to interview the incredible Tracy Cox!
Hailed by LA Weekly as a “force of nature,” soprano and Fat Politics activist Tracy Cox is a performer and artist whose talent has been recognized by those in the highest echelons of the industry, garnering her a Sullivan Foundation Award, the Birgit Nilsson Prize at Operalia and the Kirsten Flagstad Award from the George London Foundation.
She has been interviewed by the New York Times on fat politics and restaurant accessibility, and currently has over 14,000 followers on Instagram (@sparklejams) where she regularly unpacks fat performance, fashion, and politics.
In today’s episode we continue our exploration of combating fatphobia in classical music, promoting fat liberation to the world at large, and ways to push back against the typical fatphobia of the holidays & quarantine.
