First of all, thank you, dear listener, for your patience with me on this episode - the cafe we spoke in was much louder than I'd planned, and there is extra background and city noise in this episode. I encourage you to bear with it and listen to the entire interview; just pretend you're having drinks with us on a hot summer day in The Village in New York.
Blunt Ensemble is currently touring their adaptation of Shakespeare's Richard III. A t...2018-09-1100 minbrave space: a gathering of makersepisode eleven: teri quinnIn this episode I spoke with Teri Quinn, a singer, songwriter, and musician based in Kansas City, MO. I saw Teri perform in Boulder, CO at one of The Laughing Goat's monthly Women in Song showcases. I was absolutely blown away by Teri's ability to take me on a journey through her music, and I'm so glad she agreed to experiment with a long-distance recording for brave space.
We talk about all-ages venues, and Teri shares how those types of spaces (and late-night venues) influenced her work. Teri says that her songwriting stems from a personal event...2018-08-2700 minbrave space: a gathering of makersepisode ten: emily millerIn this episode of brave space, I caught up with Emily Miller, a Broadway national tour manager and non-professional actor. We met near a Manhattan-bound train station in New Jersey -Â there are some train sounds in the background that I feel add an oddly appropriate layer to our conversation about the theater world.
I ask Emily about her early experiences in acting, and she tells the story about the moment she fell in love with the art. She loves reading and finds becoming different characters to be cathartic; she's energized by projects, plays, and casts that s...2018-08-1300 minbrave space: a gathering of makersepisode nine: darren rabinowitzFor this episode of brave space, I met with Darren Rabinowitz, a self described movement artist, in his hometown of Morristown, NJ. We recorded this conversation on the Morristown Green in the summer - and yes, a bug did fly up my nose, and I kept that moment in the episode like I said I would!
For Darren, dance and movement is his way of communicating. We talk about his journey from dance to circus arts to hand balancing as well as his desire to create a sense of wonder and amazement and to do good in the world.
Darren sha...2018-07-3000 minbrave space: a gathering of makersepisode eight: aedan mcevoyOn this episode of brace space, I chat with Aedan McEvoy, a musician, composer, and teacher based in New Jersey. We talk about her musical journey and what brought her to composing and the harp. Aedan's loved every instrument she's ever touched, and is drawn to them by what's pleasing to her ear. Now, with many years of making music under her belt, she feels that music is not about being singular (cue angsty Beethoven story) or how many hours you can practice in a day, but is something larger than that. From experience, she says that playing with...2018-05-1400 minbrave space: a gathering of makersepisode seven: dan baldanFor this episode of brave space, I caught up with musician and open mic host Dan Baldan. I met Dan through my job at Short Stories Bookshop & Community Hub, where Dan's open mic night in Madison, NJ had a temporary home this past winter. We spoke at the end of April, right after that series ended and just before a new open mic began.
I ask Dan about the history of hosting open mics and how he started playing music. He shares that he likes to host events, and as a host he creates a warm a...2018-04-3000 minbrave space: a gathering of makersepisode six: sean paul carletonFor episode six of brave space, I met with Sean Paul Carleton, a drama therapy student, at NYU. So far, all of my interviews for podcast have been conducted in person, and it was great to catch up with Sean in his environment in New York. I asked him how drama therapy came into his life, and Sean shared a fascinating and winding story of how different art forms, combined with his family and lived experiences, lead him to this career.
I knew very little about drama therapy before sitting down with Sean, and I ask him t...2018-04-1600 minbrave space: a gathering of makersepisode five: austin holtbrave space goes international! In this episode, I meet with Austin Holt in Dublin to talk about her life as a theatre professional and graduate student at Trinity College. We talk about what drew Austin to Dublin and how theatre and arts funding in Ireland differs from that in the United States, our home country.
Austin recently produced a play, Escapegoat, with playwright and classmate May Treuhaft-Ali. I ask Austin about her experience fundraising abroad and using crowdfunding to finance the production. We both realize that we're hesitant to ask for help, even when we know we hav...2018-04-0200 minbrave space: a gathering of makersepisode four: theo lowreyI met with Theo Lowrey at the end of February to talk about his work as a composer. Listeners of brave space will recognize his moniker, Noon, as the creator of the music featured on the pod. (Listen on to learn the origin of that name!) Theo talks about growing up surrounded by music and instruments. A former actor, he now prefers creating his own personal work and working behind the scenes versus acting as someone else in a play. For Theo, a "successful" song is one he can talk about in therapy, since it is so personal and...2018-03-1900 minbrave space: a gathering of makersepisode three: walter f. rodriguezI met with Walter F. Rodriguez, a self described "creative," for episode three of brave space. He talks about why he feels most comfortable with this title as someone who wears many creative, artistic, and professional hats. Walter shares how he got his start in photography, a little bit of journey in theater, and what it's like to bounce between and juggle gigs in New York City.
As an actor and director, Walter's had various experiences touring and performing. He talks issues in the theater world and how important it is for theater to bring out the...2018-03-0500 minbrave space: a gathering of makersepisode two: tom carleI met with opera singer Tom Carle at his home in northern New Jersey for episode two of brave space. We were joined by two cats, Bender and Fry, who make a little bit of noise throughout our conversation. Tom and I chat about how he got his start singing in church choirs and playing piano, and how he finds more and more joy in singing the further his journey in the art takes him. Fun fact: Billy Joel's music and storytelling has been a huge inspiration of Tom's. Tom explains how opera is a "total art," and we ta...2018-02-1900 min
