All personal gifts come with a dark side. High ambition can lead to arrogance, if unmanaged. Great power can lead to great abuse, if unchecked. Artistic brilliance can provoke private suffering—if not balanced with periods of peace, enjoyment and non-doing. I've watched a lot of documentaries on superstar artists, athletes and industrialists this summer and have noted these common threats.My latest book “The Wealth Money Can't Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I'm absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity, wellness, and happiness.

In this episode of the Artist Academy podcast, I open up about something that so many artists struggle with: support systems (or the lack thereof). This episode explores what it's like to grow a creative career without constant encouragement from those around you. There's a reflection on the difference between blind support and honest concern, and how to stay focused when friends or family don't fully “get” what you're trying to build. If you've ever felt unseen, second-guessed, or unsupported, this one's for you. It's all about trusting yourself, finding the right community, and creating for you, not for the applause.www.artistacademy.com

Send us a textWhat separates true creators from casual observers? The difference lies not in talent, but in how deeply they engage with their sensory experiences. As host Amakri Isoboye explores in this thought-provoking episode, creativity flourishes when we move beyond superficial perception to develop intimate relationships with our sensory inputs. Drawing inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci's observation that most humans "look without seeing, listen without hearing," Amakri invites listeners into the creative realm—a space where ordinary perceptions transform into extraordinary creations.Through personal anecdotes about his chef wife's relationship with ingredients and musicians who hear notes as living entities speaking to one another, Amakri reveals how creators in every field—from cuisine to music, fashion to fragrance—develop a heightened sensory awareness that allows them to access creative dimensions closed to those operating on autopilot.The creative process demands patience but rewards with unparalleled fulfillment. Whether you're crafting songs, stories, meals, or solutions, your creativity serves as a portal through which something new enters the world. This isn't creativity for creativity's sake, but a meaningful response to humanity's hunger for fresh perspectives and experiences.Ready to transform how you perceive and create? Listen now to discover how your senses can become doorways to something greater—pathways into a creative realm where you don't just look, but truly see; don't just hear, but deeply listen; and don't just exist, but fully experience the world around you.Support the showYou can support this show via the link below;https://www.buzzsprout.com/1718587/supporters/new

Transcript:Da: Som aftensolen begyndte at bøje sine stråler over Nyhavn, stod Astrid klar med sine pensler.En: As the evening sun began to bend its rays over Nyhavn, Astrid stood ready with her brushes.Da: Sommerluften var varm og brisen let.En: The summer air was warm and the breeze light.Da: De farverige huse langs kanalen spejlede sig i det stille vand, og det hele så næsten magisk ud.En: The colorful houses along the canal mirrored in the still water, and it all looked almost magical.Da: Astrid var en talentfuld, men kæmpende gadekunstner.En: Astrid was a talented but struggling street artist.Da: Hendes staffeli var opsat på brostensgaden, hvor turister traskede forbi med isvafler og kameraer.En: Her easel was set up on the cobblestone street, where tourists strolled by with ice cream cones and cameras.Da: Nyhavn emmede af liv.En: Nyhavn buzzed with life.Da: Musikken fra en gadeperformer spillede i baggrunden og lød som lyden af sommeraftener i København.En: Music from a street performer played in the background and sounded like the essence of summer evenings in Copenhagen.Da: Alligevel følte Astrid sig fjern fra sit maleri.En: Yet, Astrid felt distant from her painting.Da: Hun kunne ikke finde forbindelsen mellem sine hænder og lærredet.En: She couldn't find the connection between her hands and the canvas.Da: Det var som om blot at opfange alle de farvestrålende motiver, som Nyhavn tilbød, var en øvelse i det umulige.En: It was as if capturing all the vibrant motifs that Nyhavn offered was an exercise in the impossible.Da: Mange forbipasserende stoppede op for at beundre hendes arbejde, men alligevel sad usikkerheden fast i hendes sind.En: Many passersby stopped to admire her work, but still, doubt lingered in her mind.Da: Emil og Sofie, to venner fra byen, gik forbi og vinkede til hende.En: Emil and Sofie, two friends from the city, walked by and waved at her.Da: "Hvordan går det med maleriet?En: "How's the painting going?"Da: ",

ikke, Emil.En: "I don't know, Emil.Da: Det hele føles... fjernt," svarede hun ærligt.En: It all feels... distant," she replied honestly.Da: Efter lidt tid besluttede Astrid sig for at ændre sin tilgang.En: After a while, Astrid decided to change her approach.Da: I stedet for at male hele scenen, fokuserede hun på én detalje: et bestemt hus med røde skodder og en ældgammel historie.En: Instead of painting the entire scene, she focused on one detail: a particular house with red shutters and an ancient history.Da: Hun begyndte at skitsere de små detaljer, de ornamenterede vinduer og de bløde skift i farvenuancer.En: She began sketching the small details, the ornamented windows, and the soft shifts in color tones.Da: Netop da hun begyndte at male igen, overhørte hun en samtale mellem to ældre mænd om netop dette hus.En: Just as she began to paint again, she overheard a conversation between two elderly men about this very house.Da: Det havde engang været hjemsted for en berømt dansk digter, lærte Astrid.En: It had once been home to a famous Danish poet, Astrid learned.Da: Historien, der blev fortalt med entusiasme og kærlighed, tændte en gnist i hende.En: The story, told with enthusiasm and love, ignited a spark in her.Da: Pludselig så hun huset med nye øjne, og hendes pensler begyndte at danse over lærredet.En: Suddenly, she saw the house with new eyes, and her brushes began to dance across the canvas.Da: I løbet af den næste time flød farverne naturligt fra hendes hånd, og motivet trådte levende frem.En: Over the next hour, the colors flowed naturally from her hand, and the motif came to life.Da: Hendes fokus havde givet hende genopdaget klarhed og glæde.En: Her focus had given her newfound clarity and joy.Da: Hun tegnede med en passion, hun længe ikke havde følt.En: She painted with a passion she hadn't felt in a long time.Da: Da mørket lagde sig over Nyhavn, lagde Astrid penslen til side.En: As darkness settled over Nyhavn, Astrid put her brush aside.Da: Hun betragtede sit færdige maleri med stolthed.En: She regarded her finished painting with pride.Da: Det var lykkedes hende at fange stedets skønhed og ånd på en måde, der føltes ægte og personlig.En: She had succeeded in capturing the place's beauty and spirit in a way that felt genuine and personal.Da: Hun følte sig forbundet med sin kunst og omgivelserne igen.En: She felt connected to her art and surroundings once more.Da: Astrid pakkede sine materialer sammen, mens tilskuere nikkede anerkendende.En: Astrid packed up her materials while onlookers nodded appreciatively.Da: Med et lettet smil vidste hun, at hun havde genfundet sin kærlighed til at male, og hendes selvtillid voksede stille og roligt indeni.En: With a relieved smile, she knew she had rediscovered her love for painting, and her confidence slowly grew within her.Da: Nyhavn havde endnu engang vist hende vejen tilbage til sine kreative rødder.En: Nyhavn had once again shown her the way back to her creative roots.

Artistic Gymnastics: Japan Women's Team Wins Gold in World University Games

In this powerful episode of The Nerdy Photographer Podcast, we sit down with documentary filmmaker Ilie Mitaru to discuss his deeply moving film First Frames. The documentary follows the journey of photographer and refugee Serbest Salih who travels to refugee camps to teach children the basics of photography—giving them not just a creative outlet, but a voice. For children facing the trauma of displacement, disrupted education, and overwhelming anxiety, the camera becomes more than a tool—it becomes a lifeline. Ilie shares the inspiration behind the film and what drew him to this story. The idea that something as simple as a camera could provide emotional relief and empowerment was a concept he found both beautiful and necessary. As the film unfolds, it becomes clear that photography offers these children a way to process their experiences, to document their world on their own terms, and to feel seen in a life where invisibility often feels like the norm. We discuss the careful balance required to tell these stories truthfully and respectfully, and how the project reinforced Ilie's belief in the transformative power of storytelling. The children's photos are not just snapshots—they are declarations of identity, resilience, and hope. This episode is a poignant reminder of photography's ability to do more than capture beautiful images. It can heal. It can educate. It can empower. Whether you're a professional photographer or someone who simply loves the art form, First Frames is a story that will stay with you long after the credits roll. Tune in to hear how one filmmaker is documenting the intersection of creativity, compassion, and global impact—one frame at a time.

became a splendid landscape of colors.Ca: Els mosaics de Gaudí lluïen com joies sota el cel blau.En: Gaudí's mosaics shone like jewels under the blue sky.Ca: Mireia, una estudiant d'art apassionada, caminava lentament, buscant inspiració entre les arquitectures ondulades.En: Mireia, a passionate art student, walked slowly, searching for inspiration among the wavy architectures.Ca: Alberto, un fotògraf amb un esperit creatiu, arribà al parc amb la seva càmera.En: Alberto, a photographer with a creative spirit, arrived at the park with his camera.Ca: Volia capturar una imatge única per una propera exposició.En: He wanted to capture a unique image for an upcoming exhibition.Ca: La casualitat va fer que, aquell mateix dia, un petit esdeveniment artístic reunís al parc a qui somiaven amb l'art.En: Coincidentally, on that very day, a small artistic event brought together dreamers of art at the park.Ca: Mireia i Albert es van creuar prop de la gran terrassa, on tothom apreciava les vistes panoràmiques de la ciutat.En: Mireia and Albert crossed paths near the large terrace, where everyone appreciated the panoramic views of the city.Ca: En un primer moment, cap dels dos estava

Albert volia la foto ideal de la mateixa ubicació.En: Albert wanted the ideal photo of the same location.Ca: Per a ambdós, el caos humà i el soroll no ajudaven.En: For both, the human chaos and noise were unhelpful.Ca: "Ho sento.En: "Sorry.Ca: Estic ocupat ara mateix", va dir Albert sense aixecar la vista de la seva càmera.En: I'm busy right now," Albert said without lifting his eyes from his camera.Ca: Mireia, molesta per no poder captar la imatge calma que volia, responia amb un sospir.En: Mireia, annoyed for not being able to capture the calm image she wanted, responded with a sigh.Ca: Jordi, el millor amic de Mireia, estava per allà, observant.En: Jordi, Mireia's best friend, was nearby, watching.Ca: "Tens competència", bromejava, amb aquell aire escèptic.En: "You have competition," he joked, with that skeptical air.Ca: "Potser hauries de buscar un altre lloc per l'art.En: "Maybe you should find another place for art."Ca: "Però, després de diversos intents fallits

competir.En: Mireia decided that they could only benefit if they stopped competing.Ca: Va apropar-se a Albert i li va dir: "I si col·laborem?En: She approached Albert and said, "What if we collaborate?"Ca: "Ell la va mirar, sorprès però interessat.En: He looked at her, surprised but intrigued.Ca: Amb el sol a prop de l'horitzó, el parc adquiria nous colors.En: With the sun close to the horizon, the park took on new colors.Ca: Es van asseure junts, combinant les seves habilitats.En: They sat together, combining their skills.Ca: Mireia va esbossar figures sobre el paper inspirant-se en les perspectives que Albert capturava amb la seva càmera.En: Mireia sketched figures on paper, inspired by the perspectives Albert captured with his camera.Ca: Quan el sol es va amagar lentament, el resultat va ser meravellós.En: As the sun slowly set, the result was marvelous.Ca: Els tons rosats del cel contrastaven amb els colors vius dels mosaics, creant una obra màgica.En: The pink tones

Mireia and Albert realized they had created something much more special together.Ca: També van descobrir una connexió que anava més enllà de l'art.En: They also discovered a connection that went beyond art.Ca: Jordi, després de veure el resultat, va assentir amb un somriure subtil, acceptant aquella nova amistat.En: Jordi, after seeing the result, nodded with a subtle smile, accepting this new friendship.Ca: Quan l'exposició se celebrà, l'obra combinada va ser l'estrella de la mostra.En: When the exhibition was held, the combined work was the star of the show.Ca: La gent admirava com

From the melancholy melodies of post-Soviet Latvia to commanding pride festival stages across New York, Keeana Kee's journey embodies the transformative power of living one's truth. In this deeply personal conversation, the independent pop artist and activist shares how economic hardship shaped her artistry, the dangers she's navigated as a queer woman in male-dominated industries, and why visibility remains her most powerful tool for change.Keeana opens up about the evolution from exotic pop to cinematic ballads, the deliberate choice to make her debut single explicitly queer despite industry pressure, and how her grandmother's wartime songs still echo through her minor-key compositions. Her story is one of resilience, artistic integrity, and the belief that music can literally save lives.Timestamped Takeaways[02:57] Early musical memories: Singing melancholy post-Soviet war songs with grandmother in Latvia shaped Keeana's artistic DNA and preference for minor keys.[04:22] Breaking artistic barriers: Growing up in economic hardship where arts weren't valued as career paths, until London opened new possibilities for creative freedom.[06:01] London awakening: First pride parade and seeing visible queer community provided crucial realisation that she wasn't alone or "sick" for being gay.[08:24] Fashion world confidence: Modelling career built performance confidence but also taught harsh lessons about comparison and fighting for spotlight in competitive industry.[10:42] Music industry dangers: Discusses the reality of being vulnerable as woman in studios, needing protection from sexual abuse and harassment from male producers.[15:23] Sound evolution explained: Natural progression from exotic pop to cinematic style driven by deep connection to world's pain and personal healing journey.[21:34] Deliberately queer debut: Chose to make "Coconut Rum and Coke" explicitly lesbian despite industry warnings it would damage her career prospects.[26:13] Fan connection impact: Receiving messages from fans whose lives were literally saved by her music brings tears and demonstrates music's healing power.[30:20] LGBTQ Emerging Artist Award: Winning prestigious 2023 award recognised her visibility work and artistic contribution to queer community.[32:19] Advice to younger self: Would tell 15-year-old Keeana to never lose her light despite family criticism and always believe in herself.[35:12] Pride month message: Two-minute uninterrupted platform to speak about pride as resistance, staying visible for others, and hope for united world.[36:58] Gateway track recommendation: "TikTok" chosen as perfect introduction because it balances clubby pop with strong message about staying true to yourself.Guest BioKeeana Kee is an independent pop artist and activist whose music bridges vulnerability and strength. From Latvia to London to New York, she's transformed personal struggles into anthems of resilience.

Artistic practice, cultural traditions, cultural practice, folk traditions… These are all places where we have where wisdoms that might otherwise have been lost have been protected, sheltered or found refuge. And like, artists have this like hoarding tendency sometimes, right? Like maybe not all artists, but a lot of us, you know, we look for, for these neglected things, the things that people don't care about so much. We make special or we keep special. And then it's through the artists right now, through the peoples who've kept the stories, kept the cultures, kept the artifacts or the practices that we can reconnect and collapse time. We can close some of that distance between who I am, where I am today, and ancestors from way before through those practices.My conversation with interdisciplinary artist, researcher and consultant Helen Yung who leads the Laboratory for Artistic Intelligence, an artist-driven transdisciplinary research group that specializes in reimagining how things work in the world. Led by artists, this Lab collaborates with people in community, culture, astronomy, physics, psychology, medicine, immigration, mental health, information sciences, education, and more. Helen is a sparkplug of creativity and innovation. I had the pleasure of attending a presentation by Helen about her work at the Worldmaking as Creative Practice gathering in Tkaronto on May 29 and 30, 2025 which was hosted by the Creative Communities Commons at University of Toronto's School of Cities and led by Artist-Researcher-in-Residence Shannon Litzenberger. You'll hear Helen and I refer to this Worldmaking gathering throughout our conversation, for example, when I ask Helen about art as refuge. At the end of the episode Helen invite listeners to join the to the Forum for Artistic Intelligence (ART/INForum). A note of thanks to EM Luka, a good friend and collaborator of Helen's, who participated in the conversation but was not included in the final edit due to time constraints. Show notes generated by Whisper Transcribe AIAction pointsRecognize art as a refuge for spirituality, soulfulness, and cultural preservation in times of conflict.Explore your roots and kinship to tap into reservoirs of knowledge and wisdom.Understand the continuum between art for art's sake and applied arts, and how they intertwine.Embrace the concept of pluriversalism to appreciate diverse perspectives and imaginations.Join the Forum for Artistic Intelligence to connect with like-minded individuals.Story PreviewImagine a world where art safeguards culture, bridges divides, and sparks imagination.

Mark takes in the great outdoors with artist and musician Aldous Collins, diving into the role of gratitude, vulnerability, and authenticity in his work. Aldous reflects on his early musical influences, the evolution of his performance style, and how live interaction with audiences shapes his approach to art. The conversation touches on the intersection of music and visual expression, the power of community, and the inspiration found in nature. We also discuss the future of creativity in the age of AI, and why human connection remains at the heart of meaningful artistic expression. Check out Aldous' work on his website! Takeaways Creativity often stems from personal experiences and emotions. Gratitude plays a crucial role in the creative process. Vulnerability in art allows for deeper connections with audiences. Live performances create a unique bond between artist and listener. Art and music can serve as therapeutic outlets for expression. Embracing fear and uncertainty is essential for growth. Nature can inspire creativity and provide a sense of peace. Authenticity in art resonates more with audiences than perfection. The evolution of an artist's style is a natural part of their journey. AI may change the landscape of creativity, but human connection remains irreplaceable.

On June 6, 2023, the Kakhovka Dam in Russian-occupied Ukraine was destroyed, unleashing catastrophic flooding in Kherson and surrounding regions. It is widely believed to have been a deliberate act of ecocide by Russian forces. The Flood was inspired, provoked event by that act of barbarism and is a is a literary tapestry woven from real testimonies, documentary journalism, and fictional connectors. It centres on the aftermath of the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam — an event that devastated parts of southern Ukraine and submerged Kherson in water and grief.

Check out my Free Worldbuilding and Brainstorming Workshop: https://mightyartisan.com/worldbuilding This will help you refine your ideas for personal projects and build the skills needed to be a successful designer and author!—This is The Fiftieth Episode of the Visual Scholar Podcast - With Tim Mcburnie.Most artists think intent is fine art pretension, but it's actually the secret that transforms technically skilled work into art that connects.Below is in Automagically generated summary so you can check out the content and also to help with search functionality!---Let's explore why artistic intent - often dismissed as "fine art nonsense" by commercial and entertainment artists - is actually the missing element that transforms technical skill into impactful work. The episode examines how the divide between fine art and commercial art education leaves technically proficient artists stuck in the "execution trap," where they can render beautifully but struggle to create work with purpose and direction.The discussion covers the practical reality that most entertainment artists are trained to execute someone else's vision, never learning to be the author of their own work. Tim breaks down how intent functions as both creative direction and decision-making filter, turning random technical ability into purposeful communication. The episode provides concrete methods for setting and using intent in daily art practice, from individual drawing sessions to larger personal projects.Rather than academic theory, this episode focuses on intent as a practical tool for working artists who want their technically solid work to create genuine connection with viewers. Tim argues that intent is what separates craft from art, and explores why many skilled artists unconsciously avoid developing this crucial element of their creative practice.—Chapters00:00:00 Intro00:01:05 Welcome00:02:22 When Technical Skill Isn't Enough00:09:07 The Intent Divide: Why We Avoid What We Need Most00:24:57 Intent Creates Direction: From Technician to Author00:42:54 Practical Intent: How to Actually Use This00:52:02 The Analytical Takeaway00:54:44 The Simple Takeaway00:55:03 The Practical Takeaway00:58:15 The Philosophical Takeaway01:07:51 Out—The Visual Scholar Podcast is designed to help you demystify the world of Art, Productivity, and Creativity.

It's about justice, recognition, and legacy.

If we start to pay attention to what we pay attention to then we start to naturally slow down. We disconnect from the urgency, the crisis, and we start to realize that care, and I don't just mean care for one another, although that's a piece of it, but care also for our surroundings, care for our time, care for those nearest to us. That is where it begins. That is valuable work that is not recognized. I think that is what we can do on a day-to-day basis. That over a long term becomes artistic practice and becomes culture.My conversation withknowledge producer, artist, facilitator and director of the Artists' Literacies Institute, Andrew Freiband. Our conversation was recorded, via Zoom, on April 18, 2025. My previous conversation with Andrew was on conscient podcast e13 in 2020 called weaving art into action, when we both participants in the Creative Climate Leadership course USA. Five years later, I was happy to discover that Andrew, informed by the work of British artists and writer  Alana Jelinek, continues to weave art into action, notably with through his Systems Thinking for Socially Engaged Artists project, a seminar and dialogic discussion activity that introduces artists to basic concepts of systems science so we fleshed this out and Andrew and also talked about how the arts can be more useful to the near term and long-term future of our species. Show notes generated by Whisper Transcribe AIAction pointsRecognize the value of artists' unique knowledge and perspectives beyond just their art.Understand artists as systems thinkers who can connect various systems, including economic and power systems.Challenge the notion that art should not be useful and embrace its potential for practical application.Pay attention to what you pay attention to, cultivating care for surroundings, time, and relationships.Consider the long-term cultural impact of artistic practices, which can outlast political and social structures.Story PreviewImagine a world grappling with mass grief during a pandemic, where traditional rituals are impossible. Discover how artists stepped up to create new ways to mourn and connect, revealing the profound value of art beyond aesthetics.Chapter Summary00:00 The Power of Attention01:01 Revisiting Conversations02:50 Art in Crisis: The COVID-19 Response05:15 Creating the Artist's Grief Deck07:16 Rethinking the Role of Artists10:07 Navigating Systems and Agency12:21 The Intersection of Art and Activism13:50 The Slow Work of CultureFeatured QuotesIf we start to pay attention to what we pay attention to, we start to naturally slow down.Artists are valuable not for the art, but valuable for what they know and how they know it.Artists attention is enormously valuable…maybe the key currency of being an artist that we pay attention.Behind the StoryDuring the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, disaster relief agencies faced a challenge they weren't equipped for: mass grief in isolation. Recognizing artists' historical role in creating rituals, they sought help in developing new tools for mourning. This led to the creation of the Artist's Grief Deck, a project highlighting the practical and connective power of art. *END NOTES FOR ALL EPISODESHey conscient listeners, I've been producing the conscient podcast as a learning and unlearning journey since May 2020 on un-ceded Anishinaabe Algonquin territory (Ottawa).

Welcome back to Season 8 of the Recovering Perfectionist Podcast in partnership with the Dance Wellness Community!In this episode, Christine chats with DWC ambassador, Antonio Núñez who grew up in New York where he was heavily involved in Salsa, Merengue, and many of the Caribbean's African rooted folkloric dances. As he got older his mother pushed him into ballet, modern, and later hip hop. He learned ballroom dancing as a teenager and quickly became certified to teach at only 17 years old.

With his degree in Education, he has been teaching now for 23 years. His background in Education, affords him the opportunity to inspire people on a deeper level.

Send us a textI invited Joel Trinidad onto the Playwright's Spotlight after reading about his journey. He streamed in while on tour for his acting performance of Romeo and Juliet as part of a fringe fest in South Dakota. In our conversation, we discussed acquiring an artist visa, producing your own work, the definition of success, the structure of a musical, and the importance of networking and finding opportunities. We also discussed using your cast to fill seats, imposter syndrome, submissions and rejections, pay-to-play, and staging a musical table read. It's a great conversation on a universal approach of getting into the business and what defines success. Enjoy!Joel Trinidad is a theater professional from the Philippines, whose body of work has granted him Permanent Residency status in the US as an “alien of extraordinary ability and achievement.” He has penned a dozen original librettos, most of which have been successfully produced and in his home country. Titles include BREAKUPS & BREAKDOWNS; AFTER EVER AFTER; GUADALUPE: THE MUSICAL and FAIRY TALE RESCUE, to name but a few. He's also written more than a hundred short plays. His latest musical (created with composer Luke Simnett) is the two-person comedy A TALE OF TWO (based on A TALE OF TWO CITIES by Charles Dickens), which premiered in London in July 2024. To watch the video format of this episode, visit - https://youtu.be/RMvyG0tS1PsLinks to sites and resources mentioned in this episode - TDF - https://www.tdf.org/discount-ticket-programs/NYC Playwrights - https://www.nycplaywrights.org/#google_vignetteTheatre Resources Unlimited - https://truonline.org/Websites and socials for James Elden, Punk Monkey Productions and Playwright's SpotlightPunk Monkey Productions - www.punkmonkeyproductions.comPLAY Noir -www.playnoir.comPLAY Noir Anthology –www.punkmonkeyproductions.com/contact.htmlJames Elden -Twitter - @jameseldensauerIG - @alakardrakeFB - fb.com/jameseldensauerPunk Monkey Productions and PLAY Noir - Twitter - @punkmonkeyprods                  - @playnoirla IG - @punkmonkeyprods       - @playnoir_la FB - fb.com/playnoir        - fb.com/punkmonkeyproductionsPlaywright's Spotlight -Twitter - @wrightlightpod IG - @playwrights_spotlightPlaywriting services through LACPFest - www.lacpfest.comSupport the show
