Why?

I am a huge fan of Jen Waldman. As much as I love and value my BFA training, I, like so many other recent theatre graduates, faced the challenge of what to do with my newfound lack of structure. No performance grades at Pearl Studios, folks. Stumbling upon Jen’s podcast and blog introduced me to the WHY statement- what lights your fire as a performer, what overarching goal you use to make professional and personal decisions.

“I am here because I believe vulnerability is the key to connection. I want to uncover the softness in each of us, and the groundbreaking honesty that springs from it. Isolation comes from hiding weak spots, but when we share and bond over them- we can lean on each other to tell stories and make circles bigger and bigger.”
