Friends Missing Friends

47. Mapping our grief through storytelling (Part 2)


Listen Later

Welcome to Part 2 of my conversation with artistic director of Green Shirt (and acting/storytelling teacher extraordinaire) Jack Schultz! (If you want to catch part 1, check out episode 46).

 

Today, Jack and I talk about:

  • Using psychedelics to process grief
  • How he has had trouble finding groups and resources for sibling loss, and I have struggled finding resources for friend loss
  • How disconnected our Western society is
  • Using storytelling to rewrite unhelpful or unhealthy stories that are hardwired within us
  • And more!
  •  

    About today’s guest Jack Schultz: Jack is an actor, teacher, and storyteller in Chicago. He’s the Artistic Director of Green Shirt Studio and former Artistic Director of The Agency where his solo show I’m Falling In Love All The Time enjoyed a sold out run on Chicago’s off-loop theatre scene. A story exploring opioid addiction through the lens of caffeine and romantic relationships, I’m Falling In Love All The Time now travels to colleges around the country to tackle stigma around substance use disorders.
