    Ep. 3: Is Finding Meaning - Rather Than Gigs - the Difference Between Having a Performance Career or Drifting Into Irrelevance?

    What can you do with a performing arts degree, you ask? Well, according to some educators within the performing arts, you can be a great realtor if your performing career doesn’t pan out. Let’s articulate why that sort of thinking is counterproductive but also how exactly academic training DOESN’T prepare us for the real world and which skills to focus on to fill in what academic training leaves out.

    Ep 1: But Do You Know WHY You Matter as a Performing Artist?

    Let’s start this first season with the assumption that what you do as a performer is valuable beyond bringing you joy or status or distraction. It’s a radical thought, I know. But without it, there’s no point in your listening to this podcast. So let me make a case for why you matter as a performing artist and how what I want to share on this podcast can help you make the best use of it.

    All the Bullsh*t Artists Believe: A Conversation with William Deresiewicz, Author of Death of the Artist

    Video version here: https://youtu.be/v1pvdmWkQ90 A spirited chat with William Deresiewicz, author of /Death of the Artist: How Creatives Struggle to Survive In the Age of Billionaires and Big Tech/. This book argues that artists have a harder time making a middle class living today than in previous generations - but is this true? And how does it effect the art and entertainment made today? 00:00:00 Intro: The two stories told about being an artist 00:01:05 Why did /Death of the Artist/ need to be written now? 00:02:31 But hasn’t it ALWAYS been hard to be an artist? 00:05:03 How is all this unique to artists? Aren’t a lot of middle-class professions in danger? 00:06:08 What is Art with a capital “A” and why is it under threat? 00:09:06 The TV Renaissance is Over (Amending the section on TV in /Death of the Artist/) 00:11:06 Is it helpful for individual artists to look at the bigger picture of the arts industry ? 00:13:21 Is the sample of 140 artists used to write Death of the Artist really representative? How were they selected? What about other research? 00:15:37 What are the goals of the book? What does William Deresiewicz want artists to know? 00:17:49 Is art really “boring” now? And why does William Deresiewicz not watch movies in movie theatres? 00:22:49 The chilling effect in the arts - is THAT why everything is boring? 00:27:24 What if you’re depressed after reading /Death of the Artist/? Is there an actionable takeaway? 00:30:59 How do you value an arts education? How do you repurpose creative skills? And why William Deresiewicz would encourage you to go for the artists life despite everything! 00:38:09 Accepting that some art just doesn't have much market value. 00:40:16 The 1000 true fans model - does it work? 00:41:45 “Everyone is an artist”: The Romantic myth that led to the Silicon Valley myth (ft. David Graeber and Nicka Dubrovsky’s essay “Another Art World”) 00:46:41 The lifecycle of an artist and how artists are discouraged as children Links to stuff we talk about: The Death of the Artist by William Deresiewicz: https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250125514/thedeathoftheartist “We’re all Bored of Culture” by William Deresiewicz: https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/arts-letters/articles/bored-of-culture-william-deresiewicz “On Not Drinking the Kool Aid” by William Deresiewicz: https://salmagundi.skidmore.edu/articles/434-on-not-drinking-the-kool-aid 💋👁👂🏼 Website: https://classicallyuntrainedpodcast.com/ 👀 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ema_katrovas_podcast/

  7. Artist Portrait No. 25: Melissa Watkins (writer)

    Artist Portrait No. 25: Melissa Watkins (writer)

    Melissa Watkins is a writer, mostly of non fiction and science fiction. She’s also one of the most truly cosmopolitan people you'll ever meet. Originally from the US, she spent a substantial portion of her life first in the UK then in South Korea, putting into practice her specialisation in multiculturalism through non-colonial lenses in a multitude of ways in both corporate and academic spaces. She decided to return to the US after the pandemic which ended up being an eye-opening experience, one which becomes a major theme of the interview. The other major themes of the interview emerge from the host's first conversation with Melissa, about the internet and AI as it pertains to artists. Some links: Melissa's blog Equal Opportunity Reader: https://equalopportunityreader.com/ Melissa's article "A Repat's Guide to Boston": https://statesider.us/repats-guide-to-boston/ For other publications by Melissa a good place to go is the "about" section of her blog: https://equalopportunityreader.com/about/ The music track for this episode is Alsad suugaa eej by the Earthling vocal troupe (which Melissa sings in): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lTqLrthvKQ *(Apologies for background noise due to the host being post-illness and having to suck on a lozenge to keep from having coughing fits.)* 💋👁👂🏼 Artists on the Verge website: https://artists-on-the-verge.com/ 👀 Instagram: @artists_on_the_verge

    Artist Portrait No. 24: Reilly Smethurst (composer, Web III researcher)

    This episode is a conversation with composer and Web III researcher Reilly Smethurst - who thinks the internet is just about the worst thing that happened to artists. Is it a pessimistic episode? I actually don't think so. My take: The fact that the internet does not replace real-life communities and live gatherings around art, and hurts artists by creating global, algorithmically-moderated competition, is an empowering bit of knowledge which I hope inspires listeners to find ways to make art outside the internet and use the internet in smart ways to their advantage. Reilly and I talk about the strange disbalance between the number of viable career paths for artists and the number of people studying creative disciplines, the absurdities of arts funding, the difference between the Dionysian and Apollonian approach to creating, artificial scarcity, how regulation may be the only answer to the excesses of the online arts market, and Reilly’s one actionable solution to the predicament posed by the internet, among other things. All music in this episode by Reilly Smethurst: Inheritance (2019) Uterus (2016) Organised (2019) Angel (2018) During the interview, we mention the essay “Another Artworld” by Nika Dubrovsky and David Graeber. Here are some links:   My interview with Nika Dubrovsky: https://youtu.be/j9TyYRo0OQQ Reacting to “Another Art World” Pt. 1: https://youtu.be/ufgK9PJszYY Reacting to “Another Art World” Pt. 2: https://youtu.be/9QnxN425yyw Timestamps (add 30 seconds to account for intro): 00:00 Intro 02:28 Arts careers on the decline but more people studying arts 08:32 The problem with electronic music and Reilly's "Apollonian reactionary phase" 20:00 Mocking the arts funding bodies 23:37 Web II and Web III - almost the same and both bad for artists + failures of Audius and OpenSea and the difference between music industry and art industry 40:57 Reilly's advice about how to face a world impacted by the internet 💋👁👂🏼 Artists on the Verge website: www.artists-on-the-verge.com 👀 Instagram: @artists_on_the_verge About the host ✌🏼: www.emakatrovas.com 💌Newsletter (best way to stay in touch): https://mailchi.mp/45b402876641/artistsontheverge 😇 Become a patron and gain access to "backstage" videos: https://steadyhq.com/en/opera-on-the-verge
