Episode 24, ACT 1: Michael Wiggins - Art is Always the Answer

In this episode, Courtney speaks to artist, arts administrator, activist and author of The Teaching Artist Sutras, Michael Wiggins. This conversation, which posits early on that "art is the answer, no matter the question", discusses art (and artist) as instigator. In this podcast, Michael speaks about the profundity of theater, how its intrinsic presence is in all that we do and that art is woven into the very fabric of our humanity. Listen to hear about Michael's journey through life and into artistry, his feelings on social media platforms as unique access points for artistry and how kids today, whether folks think so or not, are creating art in ways that older generations can't begin to understand, but must start to do so.
