One Big Caper

Athena and Phelyx

One Big Caper is an episodic, bite-sized chat about the adventures of two dreamers and storytellers, all the way from show business to what most see as the common or mundane daily experience. It is created for dreamers and storytellers by dreamers and storytellers. Athena Patacsil is a former principal Las Vegas Showgirl who has become a valuable and inspirational resource for graceful femininity and empowerment the world over. Phelyx Hopkins is better known as Professor Phelyx, a touring comedic mentalist who uses tricks to reveal truths in his funny and amazing shows. As partners in all things, this duo explores the shiny, sparkly stuff that made them stars of the stage and how that part of themselves can’t be muted, even when simply shopping for groceries in the suburbs of Denver. In this program, they explore life on stage, backstage, and off stage. Subjects like love and relationships, parenting, friendships, business, entrepreneurship, fashion, lifestyle, travel, design, self-care, psychology, non-traditional gender roles, finding adventure in all things, are explored from their very unique and often differing perspectives.

    ep 046 The Choices Artists Make in Life

    Here at One Big Caper, the subject of the artist’s life comes up a lot. It may seem weird to some, the choices artists make in life. Why would anyone choose a life of stress, worry, and sometimes poverty, just for the sake of art? Athena and Phelyx dive into this topic from their personal experiences as career performers and share their thoughts about what is so great about being an artist. The stereotype of the Starving Artist comes up again and again. The question is, why does society not value the artist and their craft more? 0:55 Starving Artist archetype 9:07 Rendering of building https://denverite.com/2023/01/10/rino-building-canyon-one-river-north/ 9:33 Artist lifestyle 16:11 Monetizing creative skills 22:15 Phelyx interview https://boldjourney.com/news/meet-prof-phelyx-hopkins/ 23:53 How decisions have affected our lives 31:17 Mental health for artists  *********** Want to learn more about Athena and Phelyx?
