What happens when play, culture, and creativity collide on a global stage?
In this episode of The Patty Show, I sit down with the legendary Emiko Saraswati Susilo — actor, singer, dancer, voice artist, cultural consultant, and all-around creative force whose work spans Disney, PlayStation, the United Nations, Calm, Swarovski, and beyond.
We talk about how Emiko turned Balinese dance, Southeast Asian identity, and joy-driven creativity into a global career — and why play isn’t something we outgrow, but something we forget to protect. From voice acting and cultural consulting to movement, storytelling, and self-expression, this conversation is full of insight, laughter, and perspective.
We also rewind to how we met while co-starring in an Indonesian short film, where she played my wife and I was aged up into a 65-year-old retired lawyer (yes, really). Despite the heavy themes on screen, the chemistry, play, and off-camera laughs made it one unforgettable creative weekend.
If you’re a creative, an artist navigating identity, or someone looking to bring more play, movement, and freedom back into your life — this episode is for you.
