Jennifer Pielak is an actor, personal coach, and experimental musical theatre artist from Vancouver. In particular, she has led the discipline of improvised musical theatre in the city. She combines this challenging and thrilling art form with her psychology background in the show Inside Voices, which is "all about giving the personas and judges in ourselves space to play (and sing)."
We discuss about the intimate relationship between the disciplines of psychology and acting, as well as the (in my opinion) under-discussed overlap between therapy and artistic work. Therapy and art can feed one another, but the relationship can become dangerous.
A very open and playful conversation with some arresting and relevant insights about the whole psyche/art constellation.
