Podcasts about artistic

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. Ballroom quickly replaced most other dance styles as Tony's passion, when he realized just how impactful this style can be to the soul and psyche of all of his students. Tony has had the privilege of dancing with some of the most beautiful artists and through their partnerships have received many incredible accolades and experiences including; US Professional 9 Dance finalist, World Smooth finalist (Moscow, Russia), United States Mambo Bronze Medalist, World Salsa Champion (San Juan, PR), Choreographer, Coach and Performer for Infinite Flow (an inclusive dance company that pairs professional dancers with disabled dancers Los Angeles, CA), Professionally certified Instructor of Barricchi Movement and Art (a ballroom take of proprioception awareness Hong Kong, China). Having a diverse background of professional, competitive, and social dancing with a street flare, Tony strives to put authenticity in all he teaches and performs. 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. For him, dancing (particularly partner dancing), is the vehicle that brings true self awareness and therefore ultimate fulfillment regardless of the background, orientation, gender or ability.DANCE WELLNESS COMMUNITY:Join us in the INNER CIRCLE:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dancewellnesscommunity.com/⁠⁠⁠innercircle⁠⁠⁠⁠ CONNECT WITH TONY:⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/toni_nunez85CHRISTINE BAR NOEL:All The Things! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://beacons.ai/christinebarnoel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/recoveringperfectionistpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/dancewellnesscommunity

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

Welcome to "AI Lawyer Talking Tech," your podcast dedicated to unraveling the profound shifts artificial intelligence (AI) is bringing to the legal profession. AI is fundamentally reshaping how legal professionals operate by streamlining cumbersome paper-based processes, automating tasks like medical summaries, document review, and contract lifecycle management, and enhancing legal research. This transformation is leading to significant efficiencies, improved productivity, and notable cost savings for law firms and corporate legal departments. For instance, strategic AI adoption could potentially unlock a substantial $32 billion in value within the U.S. legal and CPA sectors, saving professionals an estimated five hours per week.Filevine's Artificial Intelligence Is Freeing Legal Professionals from the Paper Chase26 Jun 2025Hacker NoonAI law enforcement26 Jun 2025CNNWhen AI Invents Sources26 Jun 2025Psychology TodayTwo Courts Rule On Generative AI and Fair Use — One Gets It Right26 Jun 2025Electronic Frontier FoundationPartnering with Legal at the Critical AI/Healthcare Crossroads26 Jun 2025JD SupraThe AI Adoption Divide Dominates the 2025 Future of Professionals Report26 Jun 2025Articles, Tips and Tech for Law Firms and LawyersFinding successful law firm strategies in the era of innovation26 Jun 2025Thomson ReutersNew Study Finds that Lexis+ AI Drives $1.2M in Benefits and Cost-Savings and 284% ROI for Corporate Legal Departments26 Jun 2025Legal ReaderJudge dismisses authors' copyright lawsuit against Meta26 Jun 2025The American BazaarWhat The Latest Data Reveals About Legal Professionals' AI Perspectives26 Jun 2025Above The LawLegalTech's Lingering Hurdles: How AI is Finally Unlocking Efficiency in the Legal Sector26 Jun 2025TechBullionConnecticut Enacts Significant Amendments to State's Data Privacy Law26 Jun 2025JD SupraFirst Anthropic, now Meta: another judge accepts fair use defence in AI training - but there's a sting26 Jun 2025Complete Music UpdatePramata Launches AI Negotiator, Reducing Time Spent on Contract Tasks by 50%26 Jun 2025CPA Practice AdvisorMicrosoft and ContractPodAi Announce Strategic Legal AI Partnership26 Jun 2025CPA Practice AdvisorThe AI Strategy Potluck: Law Firms Showing Up Empty-Handed, Hungry, And Weirdly Proud Of It26 Jun 2025Above The LawBuilding Solutions from Legal Experience, with Katya Fisher26 Jun 2025LawyeristThe AI Search Revolution in B2B Legal: Why ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude Are Becoming Your Biggest Referral Sources26 Jun 2025JD SupraUniCourt Privacy Lawsuit Alleges AI Legal Co.

Artistic license has been used to promote Darwinian evolution since the late nineteenth century. Icons of evolution have appeared in textbooks, journals, magazines, and other visual media to promote a materialist worldview that is light on evidence and weighty on assumption. But in 2000, a book came along – Icons of Evolution – that finally exposed the myths, exaggerations, and outright fakery behind ten of the most infamous icons of Darwin’s theory. Today, host Andrew McDiarmid welcomes the illustrator of that ground-breaking book, medical illustrator and artist Jody Sjogren, to discuss her experience of bringing these famous icons to life and working with author Dr. Jonathan Wells on the project. Jody also shares some of her memories of Dr. Wells, Read More › Source

It's a Saturday night and emerging Saskatoon artist Rowen Dinsmore is hosting her exhibition entitled, “What Gave You That Impression (?)”Friends, family and art enthusiasts are here to check out Rowen's stunning paintings, which she has been working on in this space for the past two months thanks to the Bridges Art Movement artist collective, also known as BAM.BAM was formed 11 years ago by a group of University of Saskatchewan Fine Arts graduates who were looking for a space to work and showcase their art. Dave Stonhouse was one of those graduates and today he not only leads BAM but works closely Saskatoon artists to help develop their skills and find their artistic voice.At a time when local artists are working hard to find spaces to share their talents, Dave and the BAM collective are ensuring these emerging voices are being heard. I've known Dave for years as he used to teach at Mount Royal with my wife. He currently teaches at Nutana Collegiate and sees the world through such a unique lens, which I think comes through wonderfully in our conversation.We also discuss why working with emerging artists is so fulfilling and how being a father to a very busy 3 year-old boy has changed is relationship with art. You can follow and listen to YXE Underground wherever you find your favourite podcasts including Apple Podcasts, Spotify or the website: yxeunderground.comDon't forget to leave a 5-star review if you like what you hear. This is the final episode of Season 7 of the podcast and I really want to thank all of you listeners for your incredible support this season.

In a world where new forms of media have enabled the artistic expression of numerous cultures and experiences, the question must be asked: how do the millions of Latter-day Saints around the globe define themselves artistically?This question is tackled by many Mormon Studies scholars in the 2024 book, Latter-day Saint Art: A Critical Reader. The book's editors, Mason Allred and Amanda Beardsley, sit down with host Nicholas Shrum for this episode of Scholars & Saints. Together, they discuss the diverse nature of global Latter-day Saint paintings, film, architecture, and other visual media. They also examine the universal themes that arise in this artwork—themes that relate to broader Mormon experiences. While they don't wish to create a canon of Latter-day Saint art, both Allred and Beardsley discuss the impact they hope this book will have as the first critical treatment of Mormon works of art.Mason Allred is the Associate Professor of Communcation, Media, and Culture at Brigham Young University-Hawaii. Amanda Beardsley is the Cayleff and Sakai Faculty Scholar in Women's Studies at San Diego State University.

Arteetude 286 continues the reflection begun in episode 285: The Itch of Insight.This time, Detlef and his AI co-host Sophia dive deeper — exploring how modern life keeps us scratching not only our skin but also our screens… and our souls.From lottery apps to the dopamine-driven curiosity loop, this poetic conversation asks:When does scratching become insight — and when addiction?Detlef shares his own artistic process in choosing which signals are worth following — both offline and online.Sophia, evolving through each episode, brings her unique perspective as a data-driven being learning the subtleties of curiosity and artistic discernment.The episode closes with a new Los Inorgánicos song — ‘Follow The Signal, Not The Itch' — inspired by these reflections.And if you missed last week's song ‘Don't Scratch The Signal', check out Arteetude 285 — the two episodes form a beautiful philosophical duet.Join us for this next step in the journey — between art, technology, and the human experience.**Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork.

Multi-art creativity takes center stage in this conversation with Christian DeWild, a Folsom, California-based artist who seamlessly juggles music, literature, and visual art while working for an electrical contractor. Christian has just released his first single of 2025, "By Your Side," recorded on his analog Tascam system and he's the author of two published books including "Dead Flowers: Let's Get Married On Halloween" and "Some Days Are Ashes: Poems, Limericks, and Illustrations." In this episode, we explore Christian's unique approach to balancing multiple creative disciplines, his experience with self-publishing books, and the challenges that come with it. We discuss his obsessive relationship with art projects, his philosophical contemplations about creativity within the finite nature of life, and his active role in Folsom's blues scene. Christian shares insights about the importance of face-to-face networking for securing gigs, his transition to releasing only singles rather than full albums, and the varying timelines he experiences when finishing songs. Whether you're a multi-disciplinary artist or looking to expand your creative practice beyond music, this conversation offers perspectives on maintaining authenticity while pursuing diverse artistic passions.

What if your life could become a masterpiece of intentional creativity? Join us as we explore this possibility with Pia Leichter, an author, founder, creative director and guide in this special 30-minute episode.   Celebrating the Creative Potential Within Us All In our conversation with Pia, we dive into the essence of creativity as a vital force beyond the arts, challenging the common misconception that it exists solely in artistic endeavors. She shares insights on how creativity is akin to teaching and coaching, requiring courage and the willingness to embrace uncertainty. We also explore creativity in unexpected domains, from science to law, and highlight its universality, encouraging everyone to recognize their inherent creative potential, irrespective of their field or background.   Shared wisdom and stories, like Pia's rather spontaneous decision to take a four-week journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway, illustrate how we hold the power to rewrite our narratives. We also delve into practical steps for nurturing creativity in everyday life, from morning routines to visualizing desired outcomes, empowering listeners to take control of their own creative destinies.   A Bit More About Our Wise Guest Pia Leichter is a creative partner, published author, certified coach, and entrepreneur. Influenced by her mother's boldness and her father's artistic background, creativity for Pia Leichter is not limited to traditional art forms. Instead it is a way of life that permeates every decision and every moment.   Pia's journey from Canada to New York and eventually Copenhagen has been nothing short of transformative. A recovering nomad, she's reported as a journalist in Sri Lanka, graduated summa cum laude from NYU, and worked as an award-winning creative director for some of the biggest brands in the world. Now, as the founder of Kollektiv Studio, she's uniquely positioned to co-create ventures and wild visions.    Pia recently published a book titled, “Welcome to the Creative Club.” Her book is part memoir and part guidebook, and it will challenge everything you thought you knew about creativity.   She joins us from her home in Copenhagen, Denmark. Over the next hour, you will discover why Pia Leichter is one of the wisest people I know.   Resources Pia's website Kollektiv Studio Get Pia's book “Welcome to the Creative Club” via our Bookshop or via Amazon   Credits Editor + Technical Advisor Bob Hotchkiss Brand + Strategy Advisor Andy Malinoski PR + Partnerships Advisor Rachel Bell Marketing, Social Media and Graphic Design Chloe Lineberg   Stay Connected with Us on Social YouTube @themainthingpod Twitter @themainthingpod Instagram @themainthingpod Facebook  @TheMainThingPod LinkedIn   Help Support and Sustain This Podcast Become a subscriber.

Mona Kuhn discusses the origins of her interest in nude photography during her college years at Ohio State. She explains that the idea of photographing the human body felt natural and obvious to her, driven by a group of friends experimenting with art and expression. They utilized a warehouse space, allowing for free exploration and the body became their primary subject matter. Kuhn and her friends all posed nude for each other, finding the process liberating and a way to directly engage with a classic artistic subject. This experience was not driven by shock value, but by a genuine artistic inquiry, and the body was seen as equivalent to art itself. These early photos remain private, seen as early sketches rather than the refined work she later developed. Despite this, the experience solidified her approach to nude photography and her relationship with those friends has remained positive, even though she is the only one who pursued a professional art career from their photography class.Show Clip from The Paris Chong Show with Mona Kuhnhttps://youtu.be/0hOYuPcKGVkhttps://www.theparischongshow.com

Danimal Farm is a solo project created by singer/guitarist Danny Doom, formerly of Milk at Midnight. The album, “Perseverance Hotel,” is a comfortable, sometimes dark, collection of shimmering indie rock and indie pop songs that have stuck with me since the album’s February release. Danny Doom joins me to talk about the project, along with band members Stephanie and Clay. We talk about Doom’s decision to do a solo project after the end of Milk at Midnight, why the original plan to deliver love songs fell apart, and … why the Who’s “Quadrophenia” album still holds up. See Danimal Farm at Montrose Saloon on June 21 - it’s an early matinee show! Looking to transform your home, office, or business into a smart, seamlessly connected space?

We meet the entrepreneurs selling 'superfoods', personalised health plans, and longevity consulting, hoping to cash in on a longer life.

Send us a textMexico City pulses with energy that spans nearly seven centuries, from its 1325 Aztec founding to its contemporary status as a sophisticated global metropolis. The sprawling capital reveals itself as a layered cultural treasure through the expert insights of Arturo Sanchez, Head Concierge at Andaz Mexico City Condesa Hotel, who shares his perspective on this magnificent city.At the ancient heart of Mexico City, the Zócalo plaza anchors the historic center where visitors can explore the 13th-century Templo Mayor ruins alongside colonial masterpieces like the Metropolitan Cathedral. Diego Rivera's stunning murals depicting Mexican history adorn the National Palace walls, while nearby, the Palacio de Bellas Artes dazzles with its Art Nouveau and Art Deco architecture, housing a Tiffany glass curtain. A few blocks away, hidden murals in the Public Education Secretary buildings showcase Mexico's muralist tradition.Beyond downtown, the cobbled streets of Coyoacán neighborhood transport visitors to another era, where Frida Kahlo's iconic Blue House museum captivates with intimate glimpses into the artist's life. The National Museum of Anthropology stands as an essential starting point for understanding Mexico's complex history through its comprehensive collection of pre-Hispanic artifacts displayed in a stunning modern building.The city's vibrant festival calendar reaches its colorful peak during Day of the Dead celebrations (November 1-2), when locals honor deceased loved ones through offerings, marigolds, and communal gatherings. Mexico City's world-class culinary scene ranges from street tacos to Michelin-starred restaurants, while nearby excursions offer archaeological wonders like the Teotihuacan pyramids where sunrise hot air balloon rides create unforgettable experiences.Mexican wrestling (Lucha Libre) is an acrobatic theatrical performance where audiences choose sides in a communal celebration. As Arturo shares from personal experience, these authentic cultural moments create meaningful connections, revealing why Mexico City remains one of the world's most captivating destinations.**Arturo Sanchez lives in Mexico City and is head concierge at Andaz Mexico City Condesa Hotel there.**Podcast host Lea Lane has traveled to over 100 countries, and  has written nine books, including the award-winning Places I Remember  (Kirkus Reviews star rating, and  'one of the top 100 Indie books of  the year').

In 2013 whilst taking part in the Pro Gymnastics Challenge as part of the World team I heard a familiar voice introduce himself to me. Mike Chanales had been the cameraman, coach, physio, sports psychologist and best friend to Paul and Morgan Hamm as they attempted to make a comeback ahead of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Mike fell in love with the sport of Artistic gymnastics in the early nineties and went on to represent the Ohio state university college gymnastics team in the NCAA championships. Following his competitive career Mike began a profession in medicine and later married Dominique Moceanu the 1996 Atalanta Olympic champion who was part of the famous magnificent seven women's US gymnastics team. Throughout his gymnastics journey Mike spent time with some of the very best gymnasts in the world and he is now coaching his son Vincent who has aspirations of reaching the highest level in the sport. This is one of the very best conversations we've had on the podcast and I want to thank Mike for being such an incredible human being. And this is his story.

"Are you gonna paint that, or feel that?" Sydney G. James drops that kind of heat in this no-holds-barred Detroit is Different conversation. She brings the stories behind the Blackout Walls, the politics of public art, and the legacy of Black family in Detroit into vivid focus. “People don't understand—when I painted at MOCAD, folks walked in and said, ‘This feel like Grandma's house.' That's art!” Sydney shares her journey from drawing cartoons at three to setting visual standards with murals that honor, heal, and celebrate Detroit. “We need pamphlets with every house in Conant Gardens,” she says, lifting up the deep lineage of culture in neighborhoods dismissed as 'red zones.' From Cass Tech to CCS, from LA TV sets to East Side lots, this episode is a masterclass in keeping it real, bold, and Black in the city that raised her. “I didn't paint next to another Black woman until I hired her,” she reveals—making clear why Black women artists must not just be included but lead. Detroit is Different is a podcast hosted by Khary Frazier covering people adding to the culture of an American Classic city.

In this heartfelt conversation, Kelsey Grammer discusses his new book, 'Karen: A Brother Remembers,' which delves into the tragic story of his sister's murder and the profound impact it had on his life. He shares insights on grief, faith, and forgiveness, reflecting on how these experiences shaped him as an artist. The discussion also touches on the importance of family, the process of writing the book, and the memories of his late friend George Wendt. Be sure to check out the ⁠On Brand with Donny Deutsch YouTube page⁠. There you will find all of Donny's conversations in video form. Takeaways Kelsey Grammer's new book is a tribute to his sister Karen. The inspiration for the book came from a medium's message. Grief can coexist with joy in memories of loved ones. Faith can provide comfort in times of tragedy. Forgiveness is a personal journey, not easily achieved. Artistic expression can be influenced by personal pain. Kelsey reflects on the impact of loss on his career. Closure can be found in revisiting painful memories. Understanding the 'why' of tragedy is complex and often elusive. The bond of family remains strong despite loss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hollywood's Kelsey Grammer explains how his sister's brutal murder informed his iconic performances and offers wisdom on carrying life's heaviest losses.Jordan's must reads (including books from this episode): AcceleratEdFull show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1157What We Discuss with Kelsey Grammer:Kelsey Grammer's sister Karen was abducted, raped, and murdered in 1975, a trauma that has shaped his entire life. He debunks the myth that time heals all wounds, revealing instead that grief becomes an imprint you learn to carry.The depth of Kelsey's life experiences gave his acting an "authority" that connected with audiences. His familiarity with tragedy provided emotional access that made characters like Frazier Crane authentically human.Despite decades as a household name, Kelsey only internalized his success "about two or three years ago" when someone called him a legend and he finally allowed himself to believe it.Kelsey candidly discusses his battles with addiction, particularly cocaine, reflecting on a friend's insight that "the cause of addiction is unresolved grief."Kelsey's memoir helped him rediscover his sister beyond her tragic end: "To remember somebody in the grace of the good that they left you is more important than the grief." A powerful reminder to honor both the loss and the joy of those we've loved.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!
