In this podcast, I ask each guest to reflect on the evolution of their career path and work skills. In today's episode, I speak with Seth Eisen.
Today’s episode is an intimate conversation with San Francisco-based artist and producer, Seth Eisen. Seth is the Artistic and Executive Director at Eye Zen Presents, a San Francisco-based transdisciplinary ensemble theater company founded by Seth Eisen in 2007.
I met Seth when I was a resident artist at a live work arts collective in San Francisco’s Mission District. I participated in two shows that Seth ran and got to know him as an ever exploring creative person.
In this episode, Seth talks about the ups and downs of prioritizing his creative work over the past 30 years of living in the San Francisco Bay Area. He was lucky enough to be mentored by some of the Bay Area’s seminal art figures of the 70’s and 80’s so you definitely want to tune in and hear his recollections of working with and being influenced by art makers past and present.
