#002 We are in precarious times.  America's racism is tearing at the fabric of our lives. The world is in crisis, and throughout history, the artist has always risen up from our collective despair to bear witness and testify creatively about our human experience.  In this time of searing injustice, quarantine and isolation, how does the artist, the actor, care for their artistic soul, while also confronting life changing circumstances?  Join Charlie as he discusses the idea of Viktor Frankl's concept of Tragic Optimism, and the ways to nourish yourself during these unnerving times.  You can follow CBP on Instagram @creatingbehavior, and Charlie's NYC acting conservatory, the Maggie Flanigan Studio @maggieflaniganstudio.
