When I came across director/producer/actor/writer Elia Kazan's Actor's Vow a few months ago, I couldn't believe what I was reading. Here was a blueprint not just for how to act on stage or in front of the camera (Kazan was a proponent of method acting), but how to approach doing art of any kind. Not only that, it could be considered a statement on how to live, how to Be. In this episode I talk about living authentically, sharing our truth, and excavating the self for art in a compassionate way. <a href='https://www.theactorswork.com/2022/08/the-actors-vow-by-elia-kazan.html?view=classic'>The Actor's Vow</a>

E95. An Analysis of Elia Kazan's Actor's Vow (It's not just for actors!)

Stepping Off Now is a podcast about how to live your creative best life. I’m Kendra, a social scientist and writer. I spent decades feeling creatively unfulfilled while I pursued conventional life goals, culminating in severe burnout that took years to recover from. This podcast chronicles my journey in real time as I find my way home to my essential creative self. I discuss topics like harnessing the intuitive creative process, using creativity to manage mental health, and sorting through all the external pressures and expectations to figure out what YOU really want. My hope is that you’ll find inspiration and solace here. You are not alone, and you are stronger and wiser than you know! You can find out more by visiting my website, kendrapatterson.com.
