Gift of Gab

Andrea gabs with A CREATIVE POWER COUPLE comprised of Helen Wildy and Victoria Bradley. Helen is a fellow Seattle Comedian and Victoria is a nude-figure Fine Artist (ft. at Anthropologie)--both are brilliant, articulate, intelligent, and FUN! Enjoy the chat about how the pandemic has affected their respective art forms, when they first knew they were talented, and how their relationship started due to their mutual love of Hanson (what?).

A continuation of last week's episode exploring how COVID-19 has affected the experience of educators and students. This episode features interviews with Voice Acting Professor, Evan Mueller, and BA of Theatre Arts student, Dan Johnson. Both share how they are circumventing the COVID-Obstacle to create, learn, and teach theatre. Is it necessary to learn and perform theatre in person? Is it possible to intentionally use the digital platform instead of having it diminish our performances? HOW DO I LOOK AT MY SCENE PARTNER OVER ZOOM?! Even those outside of theatre can get something from this episode!

After much deliberation, it doesn't feel right to post an episode that has anything to do with anything that isn't Black Lives Matter--it is rightfully all we can think about. Andrea shares conflicting feelings she is having (Should she post a podcast at all? Should she post a black square? Should she turn her phone off and take a nap?) as well as a list of resources to support the movement. While there are much bigger things to focus on right now, these are just some thoughts and reflections. #BLM #GoG
