Elizabeth Suggs uses cosplay to Bookstagram and shows how reading doesn’t have to be so serious. You’ll probably hear in my voice how much I’m a fan of Elizabeth Suggs creativity and energy. She’s involved in a lot of pursuits, I can relate, and she’s an effervescent delight as she talks about her passion for inhabiting a character and encouraging people to read indie authors. We talk about impatience in learning some new type of creative task, and about feeling like we have to multi-task in order to be productive. We talk about video games, audiobooks, indie authors, book reviews, social media usage, and sitting with nothingness. She’s nerdy, she thinks we take reading too seriously, and just like she says, it’s a very good thing that she’s on the side of the good guys.Here are the links for what we talk about in the interview: Collective Humanity: https://www.ctpfiction.com/collective-humanityCollective Visions: https://www.ctpfiction.com/collective-visionsCollective Chaos: https://www.ctpfiction.com/collective-chaosHere is the book where Elizabeth cosplayed the cover: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55581125-dhi-s-parables-of-divine-transformation?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=Ka1ZcDr3El&rank=2Here is her rendition of it: https://www.instagram.com/p/CND9XTKAgWb/Keep "In the Telling" commercial-free, and get exclusive access to full interviews on PatreonYou can help more people find “In the Telling” by leaving a review on Apple podcastsFind out more about “In the Telling” at lizzylizzyliz.comSubscribe to the Liz Christensen channel on YouTube for bonus content.

Actress Nadia Sine met with me over Zoom in the Stay-at-home social distancing of 2020 to talk with me about being a black actress in the predominantly white theatre industry. I saw her performance as Juliet in Sonder Immersive’s production of “Through Yonder Window,” and was captivated by the production and her performance. What Nadia and I sat down to discuss primarily was a topic that has recently risen to the top of the theatre industry conversation--the racism encountered by performers of color in theatre. There are fantastic resources and discussions on this topic in lots of corners of the public conversation, some of my favorites are listed below in the show notes. But like everything I’m interested in, I really wanted to have this conversation, one-on-one to help me process as I look at what I can do and should do and will do about institutional racism in my own theatre community.Show Notes:Cultivating Change: Diversity and Inclusion in Utah Theatre at OPPADeena And Javen at the Regent Street!

Guest Anthony Buck joined "In theTelling" for a discussion on how social distancing and Coronavirus is impacting work, gigs, side hustles and hobbies in Utah arts. We share what we personally are doing and not doing as a result of COVID-19 and talk philosophically and practically about financial, emotional, mental, physical and career implications and adaptations. We don't want to spread alarm any more than we want to spread the virus, and even though we both have a sense of stress, we remain optimistic. I hope you'll listen to this discussion between two good friends who are both deeply involved in the local performing arts industries and feel a little of the social distance between us and the stress of uncertainty lessen. The Show Notes blog post hosts tons of links and resources including and additional to those mentioned in the discussion.
