In This Episode:
A personal update about motherhood so far
Why choosing a word of the year can be more powerful than traditional resolutions
The difference between goals and values in an artist’s life
Exploring Wants vs. Needs - both in storytelling and how this mirrors real life

I’ve been intrigued by the concept of 'slow looking' from my visits to galleries in my travels. Slow looking is an approach to visiting a gallery that encourages spending more time with a few selected artworks, rather than rushing through to try and see everything.
In today’s episode I’m sharing some thoughts on slow looking, how it’s extended to my experience watching theatre, and how I’ve been using it as an entry point for writing scenes.
