Episode #12
Artistic Hell
Oct 24, 202653 minS4
How hard times for both of us affect the day to day creative process. Hard honesty.
About this Podcast:
Two lifelong creators of the performing arts, ballet dancer and choreographer Rob Royce and director/playwrite Dan Kehde, bring listeners into the ridiculous reality of making art in the real world. Sometimes humorous, sometimes frustrating, always honest, the duo deals with everything from personal hygiene to mental health to dealing with irate performers, absurd venues, perfect shows gone awry and sure flops that somehow make the grade.
