Eris DeJarnett - building awareness and space

Disclaimer: in this episode, you will hear Eris introduced by the name and pronouns they were working under at the time. They are now listed professionally as Eris DeJarnett on all platforms.  In this episode, Monica sits down with interdisciplinary narrative artist, Eris DeJarnett. Whether it's music, dance, writing, or anything else they can imagine, Eris's work is always centered around a story. Monica and Eris have a thoughtful and raw conversation about building trust and comfort with other musicians, the importance of having tough conversations and working towards solving problems, making space for people - emotionally and physically, and different kinds of "uncomfortable".  Ey shares their use of composition to work through their own trauma, gives us a behind-the-scenes of the process of creation, both the craft and the message, recording, rehearsals and how the different arts inform each other. We deep dive into conversations about being resources for people, their blog, compassion fatigue, the goal of being able to communicate with words, feeling like a disappointment to mentors and big life decisions.
