Podcast Coming Summer 2025: Creativity Cost

"Creativity Cost" is a podcast that uncovers the real cost of being a Creative in the performing arts industry. Through candid interviews with directors, choreographers, dancers, musicians, actors, and more, we explore the financial, emotional, and equity-related challenges that shape artistic careers. This podcast is a platform for artists to share their journeys, amplify their work, and inspire both their peers and the public. More than just storytelling, "Creativity Cost" advocates for a broader cultural shift—one that prioritizes investing in artists themselves, not just the art they produce.

"Basically, it has put my entire life on hold. My tour was canceled with Camille. My teaching gigs were canceled. Everything was canceled. I have one paycheck and I’m living off that, waiting to see what happens next."

"You are privileged if you are home not working and can pay the rent. But what about the people with no jobs after three months have passed? What will the arts do then? How will we respond? We may have privilege, but we don’t have enough money to feed everyone, so what as artists can we do?"

"It is the ability it gives me to live this life that I find the biggest cherishing point of this pursuit. You have to know when you choose this that if you encounter obstacles, you cannot blame the game because you choose this game."
