Episode 85: Creating your greatest work from your deepest pain with Meirav Zur

TRIGGER WARNING: this episode contains discussions of infertility and fertility treatments. In this episode, podcast host, artist, curator and artist coach Jessica Libor speaks with Meirav Zur about her brave journey in creating her greatest work from an experience of pain.  For visual artists, you may find inspiration and courage to transmute your own life experiences into powerful creative works. Meirav Zur is a performing arts professional, with over 16 years experience as a performer, producer, writer, director, and theatre educator.   She thoroughly believes in the power and magic of theatre, and loves sharing with people its many parallels with "real life".   Her latest production, Inconceivable: The Totally True One‑Woman Semi‑Fertile Quasi‑"Musical”, has given me the opportunity to get people laughing and thinking about things people don't often discuss.  It's essentially her own true infertility experiences told through humor.  This show gets people laughing, but also gets people talking about taboo or uncomfortable topics many people experience silently.  This show has won her  : Best Interactive Show, 2018 United Solo Theatre Festival, and Critic’s Choice, All About Solo New York City.
