 What are your hesitations or thoughts that hinder you from sharing your ideas as an artist? Are you struggling with how much you should share or who to share it to? You are not alone. In this week's episode, Actor/Playwright/Director, Griffin Hewitt will share his current challenges on discerning which content to sit with or put out. He reminds us that we don't have to figure it out on our own and we don't always need to be the voice in the project for our ideas to live. We can leverage the skills and energy from other artists to help put our ideas into fruition. You  don't need to be everything to create art. In this episode:  Griffin wants to honour people who are choosing to leave their homes to attend an interactive experiences that give them a really fun world to escape in for a little bit. The purpose of an artist is to allow one's imagination to physically and tangibly change the world around them, instead of allowing the world around them to change their imagination.  We always get into the mode that something is settled or real and we  need people who are able to imagine something new, speak up and can slowly work that idea through culture and institutions.  An artist is someone who is open to the fact that the world isn't set and can imagine something and make it happen.    BIO: Griffin Hewitt is a theatre creator originally from Regina, Saskatchewan, now based in Toronto. After graduating Sheridan College’s music theatre performance program, he went on to originate roles in new Canadian musicals, sing Sondheim in abandon buildings and northern forests, and dress up like a goat to sing Greek poems to pop tracks. As a writer and director Griffin’s work focuses on the intersections between mythic storytelling, popular culture and new media, and queer, working class stories. He is deeply interested in building a deeper connection to the shared space between audience and performer, creating theatrical experiences that connect, challenge, and engage everyone in the act of theatre.
