Resonating in the Room: Collaboration in Theatre and Life with Anne Bogart

“The theatre’s job at its heart is to ask the question 'How can we get along? How can we get along better?' So every play that was ever written that is of any worth is about that question.”⁠
⁠
This weeks’ guest Anne Bogart is considered to be one of the greatest innovative directors in the modern theatre. She joins us to discuss how to cultivate and foster collaboration both in the theatre and within our own lives, talking with Susan about her evolution as an artist, the relationship between the artists and audience during a live performance, and what to expect from the performing arts now that we seem to be moving past post-modernism.⁠

Helping Our Kids Through Covid with Dr. Erica Lee
“What the research shows about uncertainty is that, the more we fight it, which is sort of our natural instinct, the more we can often end up feeling hopeless or avoid situations that make us feel uncertain. It becomes overwhelming because none of us can tell the future.”
Dr. Erica Lee, Psychologist at Boston Children’s Hospital talks to Susan about how we can talk to kids and adolescents about covid and coping with all the uncertainty, fear, and anxiety that surrounds us. She discusses the most common struggles and behavioral changes she sees in the children and families she works with, the power of mindfulness practices and validating our feelings while we move through this transitionary period, and why it’s important for adults to ensure they are prioritizing their own self-care during this time.

Hey everyone. I said to my producer early today: “You have no idea how passionate I am about facilitating these groups and workshops. It is truly work that I love.” And that’s because each group always ends up taking on a life of its own; and everyone- including me— comes away feeling more whole, more equipped to handle life’s challenges. Anyway, I hope you can make it so we can help each other reemerge. DM me if interested. 💛

Artists on the Cape Series #6: Playing the Leading Role in Our Own Lives with Jeff Zinn

“In a very real way, all of us are actors. Every one of you is playing the leading role in the story of your own life. It’s a heroic narrative and you’re the protagonist. All of us, even in our quietest shapes, are living heroically - or trying to.”

What’s my motivation? It’s a phrase we’ve heard actors ask countless times. However the answer to that might be much deeper than we think.

In this second to last episode of our Artists on the Cape Series, Susan talks with actor, director, and author Jeff Zinn about his book The Existential Actor and how its themes extend beyond the theatre, making it a study of humanity and what motivates us all.

Together Susan and Jeff discuss universal truths such as awareness of our own mortality, the armor we wear to protect ourselves, how culture affects how we see the world, and the losses that we choose.

Let’s face it: anxiety takes its toll. All too often this year, we’ve been ambushed by anxious thoughts because of the reality in which we’ve found ourselves. Nothing fuels pervasive anxiety like uncertainty and a lost sense of security and that is exactly what we’ve been living through.
Whether we’ve been dealing with anxiety all our lives, or just recently because of the stress of the pandemic, so many of us live in a state of perpetual overdrive and unrest.
But here is the good news: Anxiety is universal, and gathering together to acknowledge it, share our experiences and learn how to work with what’s happening is powerfully transformative. That’s why I’m so excited to be facilitating a new, six-week workshop entitled Working with Anxiety, beginning Tuesday, April 20th.
*A special added component will be 3 restorative yoga classes with Certified Yoga Instructor Marco Jo Clate specifically designed to address anxiety that we can learn to do at home on our own! These 45 minute classes will be held on 3 of the Tuesdays right after the group session.
Can’t wait to see you there! Feel free to reach out with any questions or just reply to this email to sign up.
Love,
Susan

Artists on the Cape Series #4: Coming Back to Ourselves with Singer/songwriter Sarah Burrill

In the fourth episode of our Artists on the Cape Series, singer/songwriter Sarah Burrill takes us down the winding paths of her life. She talks about how she began her journey as a singer/songwriter at the age of three when she saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show, the challenges of the entertainment industry, her difficulties and struggles with addiction and how that affected her music, and her battle with a rare form of invasive breast cancer.

She shares what she has learned from each of these phases of her life, about not tying our talent to our success, about expectations and resentment, and about the power of love from your entire community to help heal both the body and the spirit.
