S6 Ep 17: Pay Attention to the Life You’re Living with Marci J. Duncan and Kerry Sandell
Description
On today's episode we are taking a deep dive into the creative journeys of my guests Marci J. Duncan and Kerry Sandell. We discuss non-linear career paths and making peace with one’s decisions, the significance of discovering personal passions and how viewing industry changes as opportunities to create authentic storytelling. We touch upon the dichotomy of fear preventing people from pursuing opportunities or keeping them trapped in unfulfilling paths and gain insight into their personal career pivots—from delayed dreams to embracing those nonlinear paths in the arts. We explore the organic beginnings of their collaborative play "Dissonance," a powerful narrative about interracial friendship and candid conversations on race. They share about the safe, vulnerable space they created for honest artistry and the emotional impact of their play on diverse audiences, including heartfelt revelations from viewers and thought-provoking discussions that were sparked. This episode is an exploration of artistry, authenticity, and meaningful connections through the lens of theater.
