41m | Apr 28, 2020Daniel & Monty are back with our first episode recorded during Corona. In a Facebook livestream (using Skype), they virtually sit down with Rude Grooms Associate Artist Laura Piccoli (check out her website lauracpiccoli.com). Topics include:
- Shifting to a virtual Wooden O
- How Laura’s super-high work ethic developed and has influenced her life from undergrad, through freelance acting, producing with Rude Grooms, and into a Masters program
- The benefits for an actor of wearing other theatrical hats and feeling more power in the process of creating opportunities
- How the feeling of empowerment from getting more involved on the producing side of theater inspired Laura to start writing her own short films
- Pursuing a Masters degree in Energy and Environment Policy to learn more about subjects so that she should start writing projects, like a recent short film she wrote inspired by studying in Bolivia
- Shifting as a writer from writing for herself as an actor to writing with a hope towards other actors flourishing
- Finding your Artistic Family
- Imposter Syndrome
- How a Process-oriented approach can benefit even Product-oriented environments.
- COVID brain
This week, Daniel & Monty both recommend Shakespeare Happy Hours, co-produced with Seven Stages Shakespeare Company - 90 minute virtual performances of all of Shakespeare’s plays, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at shakespearehappyhours.tv. Other shoutouts, recommendations, and further reading include:
