The BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Podcast

This week on BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! we speak with Tyler Udall - the first ever BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! photographer and a regular voice on the podcast.

Recorded during one of our MEETS at our BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Gallery Café London, this episode traces Tyler’s path through a series of worlds that don’t often get connected. He began as a ballet dancer in New York, before moving through the fashion world, including as fashion editor of Dazed & Confused and AnOther magazines, before stepping away from the industry to build a photographic practice rooted in intimacy and lived experience.

Tyler is known for work that resists spectacle. His photographs focus on queer bodies as presence rather than performance, shaped by memory, vulnerability, and the politics of being seen. His undeniably personal and emotionally compelling photographs are shaped by the familiarity he has with his subjects, most of whom are friends and past lovers.

In this conversation, Tyler speaks candidly about being diagnosed HIV positive in the late 2000s, and how photography helped him process this.

We talk to two extraordinary queer filmmakers: Ira Sachs, one of the defining voices of American independent film; and Benoît Duvette, an emerging French director making waves.

Sachs to promote his latest film, Peter Hujar's Day, that centres on the legendary queer photographer Peter Hujar starring Ben Whishaw; and Duvette to talk about his recent film Eden & Charlie, which caught our attention for its tenderness and clarity of vision.

Graeme Smith sits down with actor, writer, and queer trailblazer Darryl Stephens, the star whose breakout role in hit US network TV show Noah’s Arc became a defining moment for Black queer visibility on screen.

Two decades from that show's first broadcast, and this year with Noah's Arc: The Movie, Darryl reflects on the show’s legacy and what it meant to millions who finally saw their own stories represented. He speaks candidly about navigating Hollywood as a gay Black man, how the industry has evolved, and where it still falls short.

We also get personal. Darryl is now a father, and he reflects on how parenthood has transformed his routines, his connection to the LA gay scene, and his own sense of self. What does fatherhood look like when your community, your career, and your identity have been shaped by queerness and visibility?

Finally, we dive into his creative life beyond acting including writing and storytelling.

Two groundbreaking choreographers join us live from The BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Gallery Café in Fitzrovia, London. Arthur Pita talks craft, career, and the queer imagination behind his work. Jonathan Watkins discusses launching Ballet Queer, the UK’s first LGBTQ+ ballet company.

We begin with Arthur Pita, the South African-born dancer turned award-winning choreographer whose career spans contemporary dance, opera, theatre, film and television. Known for his bold theatricality and emotionally charged storytelling, Arthur speaks with Jorge Gariz about the evolution of his work, from his early training to major international commissions and how queer identity threads itself through both his creative instincts and his process. He reflects on collaboration, risk-taking, and the unapologetically dramatic movement language that has made him one of the most distinctive choreographic voices working today.

Later in the episode, we’re joined by choreographer & director Jonathan Watkins, whose recent adaptation of Christopher Isherwood's A Single Man, starring Edward Watson and with singer John Grant, has been hailed as one of the year’s most inventive crossovers of literature, dance and live music. Jonathan introduces us to his new company Ballet Queer, the UK’s first dedicated LGBTQ+ ballet company, sharing his vision for reshaping the form with stories and bodies that have long existed backstage but rarely at the centre of the stage.
