Starving Artists PHX

Architect, artist, and entrepreneur Virginia Senior made me a sampler of some of the dishes she created for her restaurant because she "is not just what you see, it's what you taste." I can honestly say, Virgina tastes delicious.

We talked outside of her business, Urban Beans, and discussed how community members can support artists, the craetivity that comes from restriction, and why she treats every pwrson who says they don't like vegan food as a challenge.

Virginia is going to participate in this year's Pie Social, Sunday Nov. 19 in Roosevelt Row. More details here

Virginia is also involved in several businesses in the area. You can visit Urban Beans any time and learn more about her other projects involving phoenix art lab and her  architecture work.

Finally, Virginia wants to recommend everyone check out Bitter Nasty on Facebook, who are putting out some great tunes.

Dramaturg Rebekah Weagraff considers her role to be the person with answers to all of your potential questions. Which is basically the opposite of my job, so it works out nicely.

We went to the beautiful Coffee Rush in Chandler to discuss her youth as a performer, how to utilize your skills in unexpected ways to find jobs, and why sometimes theatre doesn't have to teach a damn thing.

Rebekah works consistantly with The Bridge Initiative. You can learn more about their projects at bridgeinit.com

Rebekah also has a position with The Phoenix Art Museum, which also has some great work on display that you can learn about at phxart.org

Poet and performer Ada McCartney told me she's firm believer in Augusto Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed. But the only thing getting oppressed in our conversation was some tasty Picazzo's pizza! (ed: find a new joke)

We spoke about performing your work against performing someone else's, being onstage alone, and why I will now never get a slam poet on the show.

You can keep up with Ada's work by following her on Facebook.

Wish her luck on her upcoming Work In Progress show of a new one-woman performance she is developing through Nuebox. It goes up November 27 at the Mesa Arts Center for an invited audience.

Ada is currently working with Arizona School for the Arts. Find ways to support their young artists at goasa.org

Actor and writer Tony Latham once cast me as an aging, lecherous alcoholic who's always trying to give life lessons. It's nice when your friends understand you.

We had a beer at The Shop in Tempe and talked about forcing yourself to do what your weakest at, learning by observing more experienced people, and the wise words of The Joker.

Find Tony's professional Facebook page where he shares samples of his writing and announces future performances.

You can also find him on Instagram @theycallmemrtony and on Twitter @paperbagactor.

Tony will next be onstage for Phoenix Theatre's production of It's Only A Play, more details at phoenixtheatre.com
