A ballet legend & the first homosexuals - Edward Watson & Professor Jonathan Katz

In this episode of The BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Podcast, host Graeme Smith brings you two powerful conversations from the world of queer art and culture.

First, we hear from Edward Watson, one of the most celebrated ballet dancers of his generation and a former Principal Dancer with The Royal Ballet. Speaking live from the BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Gallery Café in London, Edward reflects on the emotional intensity of life in ballet, the storytelling power of movement, and his journey from student to star.

Later, Graeme is joined by Professor Jonathan Katz, a pioneering figure in queer art history and Associate Professor of Practice at the University of Pennsylvania. They discuss his new book The First Homosexuals, the hidden histories of queer representation, and how homophobia has shaped the visual record.

Two fascinating voices. One unmissable episode.
