Episode 55: Master Class in Creativity with Jack Canfora Part I

In this episode, Wynne Leon and Vicki Atkinson are talking with Edgerton award winning playwright, musician, and writer Jack Canfora.   Talking with Jack is like attending a master class on creativity. In fact, our conversation with Jack is so rich with both writing practices and nuggets about authors and artists that we’ve split it into two episodes. In this first episode, we talk with Jack about depression and creative expression. He adds some fantastic and funny insight from comedian, Gary Gulman (HBO special: The Great Depresh). Jack also reveals a couple of his brilliant ways to experiment when he’s hit a creative lull. His answer about whether he writes long-hand will have you giggling right along with Vicki and me. He tells us what is hard to teach and important to learn about creative attention. And he shares with us a delightful story about the Beatles song Eleanor Rigby that exposes an intimate insight into the creative process. (Here's a video clip of Jack telling this story) With all the food for thought and inspiration, we know you will have plenty of chew on until the conclusion of our incredible conversation airs next week. We love talking with the brilliant and funny Jack Canfora and leave each conversation a little bit smarter, much more inspired to hone the craft of writing, and in awe of a master creator. We know you’ll love this episode!
