Episode 5 of Series 12: Animals in Art and Culture Transcript

Sukey Molloy, an acclaimed children’s performer and author. We delve into Sukey’s work, particularly focusing on her storytelling album, ‘The Adventures of Little Stubby,’ which features a miniature donkey named Stubby. 

Sukey discusses her inspiration from real-life rescue stories and her goal to help young children navigate their emotions through animal characters.

Guest: Trained as a professional modern dancer in New York City, Sukey Molloy performed and toured as a member of the Solomon’s Company Dance and went on to study developmental movement and Kidnastics with former Olympian, Garland O’Quinn, Ph.D., and infant development with Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen. Sukey’s work in “movement skill development through guided play” has led her to design and teach music and movement programs for infants, toddlers, nursery schools, after-school programs, elementary schools, and with her own Nyack, NY-based PlayMove&Sing Inc. company. Sukey’s work is the recipient of multiple awards, most recently the NAPPA award for her new storytelling album, The Adventures of Little Stubby.

Humans interact with animals every day of our lives. Even those without pets interact with animals in various ways: diet, wildlife, the clothes they wear. Even most medicines use animals in testing or in the medicine itself. This is a podcast about Anthrozoology: the study of interaction between humans and non-human animals.
