Interview: Alex Shapiro Part 1

Celebrated composer and author Alex Shapiro and Nicole trip down memory lane recalling Alex’s residency at University of Wyoming, and Nicole asks “what do you get out of it?” Alex describes being an extroverted introvert, the “warm fuzzies” she gets from her composer community. Nicole mentions the weirdness of being a woman. Elizabeth, Alex, and Nicole also deconstruct bro culture and conclude that the key is education through intentional programming and normalization of diversity. Finally, Alex encourages us to have an attitude of abundance rather than scarcity. https://www.alexshapiro.org/ Midwest Clinic: https://www.midwestclinic.org/ Cat Bohanan, Eve: https://www.catbohannon.com/home/eve
