Ep97 Jennifer Sklias-Gahan

“I think as artists, we help people connect with themselves and feel their feelings.” - Jennifer Sklias-Gahan Finding Creativity in the Darkness Actor, filmmaker, and author Jennifer Sklias-Gahan joins the AU Podcast for a thoughtful conversation about creativity, resilience, and the winding path that leads us back to the work we're meant to do. From growing up in Queens as the daughter of a Greek immigrant to finding her voice as a writer, actor, and storyteller, Jennifer shared how journaling, reading, meditation, and even a little piano each morning help fuel a creative life that has been decades in the making. from her growing career in film to her debut novel, The House in the Middle of the Street. We also explore the role of darkness in art, why stories can help us better understand ourselves, the balance between family and creative ambition, and her belief that art remains one of the most important ways we connect to our humanity. During our discussion, we touch on her husband's work in Depeche Mode, vinyl records, theater, AI, and why the imperfections of human creativity may be exactly what make it so valuable. images: ©jennifer sklias-gahan jennifer sklias-gahan website the house in the middle of the street website Subscribe: iTunes | Android | Spotify | Email | RSS MORE ART UNKNOWN PODCASTS
