Artist and nomad Roxanne Patruznick interviews international artists, writers, musicians and more about travel and creativity. My intention with the podcast is to highlight other creative people who are also connected to travel in some way. I'll have conversations with fellow visual artists, writers, musicians, dancers, film makers, actors, chefs, meditators and anyone else creating something. Many of the people I talk with work across multiple creative mediums. I’m interested in how travel has shaped my creative friends, how travel inspired their work and if they have travel stories. I am also exploring a deep dive into what Travel is and what Creativity is. These are solo podcast shorts and my intention with these is to open up ways of looking at what Travel is and what Creativity is along with why it's important for us.

    How Travel Rewards the Curious: Interview with Adam Bregman, Writer and Music Enthusiast

    How Travel Rewards the Curious: Interview with writer and music enthusiast Adam Bregman   In this week’s Travel Create Repeat podcast I talk to Adam Bregman: writer, music enthusiast and world traveler about his love of Los Angeles, the American South and how he met his Italian wife while traveling. We also reminisce about the Los Angeles music scene in the late 80’s, early 90’s along with memories of our old café haunt, The Mad Hatter. The Mad Hatter was more than a café, but a magical moment in time that fostered creativity and community. It was where Adam and I became friends.   This episode is also a love letter to Los Angeles, which is where I’m from. Adam also weaves many tales that implicitly show how his curiosity is rewarded, from how he met his wife in Europe to getting a chance to see once in a lifetime music legends.   Bio   Adam Bregman's debut novel is Angelino Heights. He has spent an inordinate amount of time wandering around Los Angeles, where he was born and ran for mayor in 1993. He has written extensively for the L.A. Times and L.A. Weekly, covering every aspect of the city. He has also contributed to more than 40 publications including the Stranger, San Francisco Chronicle, Boston Phoenix and OC Weekly. He currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia. – (courtesy of Shots Crime and Thriller Ezine)   If you enjoyed this podcast, please consider subscribing to my email on my website: www.travelcreaterepeat.com There you can stay up to date on my travel blog, podcast episodes and see what’s in the art shop.   You can also support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/TravelCreateRepeat   If you’re watching this on YouTube, liking, subscribing and leaving a comment is very appreciated.   Music attribution for this episode: Music licensed through Soundstripe.

    How Creativity is a Process: What is Creativity series ep 1

    Creativity as a Process is the first Episode on the What is Creativity series What is Creativity?: Expanding our ways of looking at Creativity. Creativity can be tricky to define. But I would say art is even more elusive. Many people do not believe that they are creative or maybe they feel they were as children but have somehow lost their creative spark or connection. I want to push back on that belief and say that everyone is creative. It isn’t something you lose as you get older. It’s always with you. What I’m offering with this series is an inquiry into many ways of looking at what creativity is, what it can be and opening up its limitless possibilities. It is an endless exploration and as you listen you may come up with some ideas I haven’t even mentioned. That’s what I’m talking about. That is creative! Creativity encompasses many things, it isn’t just about making art. It’s a thread that is woven throughout our life. It’s not just what we do but the way we choose to do it. We were created by our parents and while we’re alive, we design our lives for ourselves and with others. It’s a physical, mental, emotional and even spiritual process. Maybe you’re making something art related, but you might be making a schedule or doodling while talking to someone or picking out something to wear or telling a story or a joke or experimenting in the kitchen or taking a new way home… When working on a project we make decisions, we might create a physical thing and then we might feel something about that thing. We might have many feelings about it. We may take some time to think about that thing depending on what it is. If it’s something meaningful to us, we might need to talk about it with others and get some kind of feedback. Or if we share it either as a finished thing or a work in process, it becomes a connection with others. Through creativity we may choose to connect with others. Maybe we take a class and join a group of people with a common creative interest like writing, dancing, singing or sketching. It can be energizing and inspiring to be around other people while they are creating. Through others we can learn new skills. Maybe they can help us realize something about what we’re doing that’s helpful. Creativity can be deeply personal and done as a form of emotional process. Some people utilize creative arts therapies with an art therapist. Our own creativity has the potential to open up things that we thought were closed. The work we create in these situations may not ever be seen by anyone else. But this kind of work can be extremely meaningful and beneficial. Not all creative work needs to be shared. Just as Travel is creative, creativity is also a form of travel. We can get lost in the intricacies of making. We can lose time and lose ourselves as we are absorbed in the process. It’s a wonderful feeling to be in a creative flow. In this series I will explore different ways of looking at creativity. You can also check out the What is Travel series. I hope you’ll join me on these deep dives into what travel is and what creativity is. And please let me know if you have any ideas or insights of your own.

    How I travel and teach dance with neurodiversity - Brenda Russell Interview

    Brenda Russell podcast interview How I travel and teach dance with neurodiversity In this episode, Brenda shares her experience growing up in Portland, Oregon, in a racially and culturally diverse working-class family. She also talks openly about the challenges of being neurodivergent (AuDHD, CPTSD and Synesthesia), overcoming issues with her voice and eventually becoming an accomplished performer and movement/dance teacher who travels and lives internationally. Bio Brenda Jean Russell grew up in Portland, Oregon in a working-class neighborhood. She has over 24 years of teaching and performing experience. She founded DanceMode, a movement and social dance platform, offering partner dance instruction, somatics, and workshops across London, Europe, and Portland. Her work focuses on teaching a movement-based lifestyle, sensual living and community through social dance.   You can follow Brenda on Patreon here You can see her general class offerings here Peek inside one of her offerings Camp Balboa If you enjoyed this podcast please consider subscribing to my email on my website: www.travelcreaterepeat.com There you can stay up to date on my travel blog, podcast episodes and see what’s in the art shop. You can also support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/TravelCreateRepeat   How my podcasts are made If it’s a Solo podcast I’ll start with a script that I write myself, usually by hand and then typed into my computer. Then I record in my podcast video/audio editor. I use my computer camera and a separate mic. I edit in my podcast video/audio editor. The editor tools I use may enhance the sound if there were any recording issues: tuning up the volume or minimizing background noise. I edit sound using both the transcript as well as the wav file. There are many AI bells and whistles in my editing software which I don’t really use, as I’m wanting to create something human. Handmade is my esthetic. For the video editing, I lay public domain/royalty free images and video on top of parts of my recorded video. I also use some of my own images and videos. Each image and video clip is hand-placed by me. I am making all the creative decisions every step of the way. When I record a podcast interview with another person it’s pretty much the same as above. Instead of a script I start with a general outline with questions. When editing an interview, I’ll probably use fewer images for the sake of time and emphasize images of the guests’ artwork or anything else that I feel would enhance the interview.

    Alexandra Sokoloff & Craig Robertson: How 2 crime writers co-wrote a novel & stayed happily married

    Alex and Craig Podcast summary How two crime writers co-wrote a novel and stayed happily married. In this podcast I spoke with Alexandra Sokoloff and Craig Robertson about their recent book, THE GRAPEVINE, a thriller about a mother in search of her missing daughter along the California highway coastline. It’s part of a series called The Lost Highway. Alex and Craig are both accomplished authors with strong opinions as well as coming from very different cultural backgrounds. Yet, they manage to navigate the complexities of working together to ultimately create something unique and still stay happily married. We joked about this during the interview. They shared how they worked together along with all the differences that ultimately add dimension to their creative process. We also talked about their many travels, conventions, as well as, a residency they went on in New Zealand, which was the place where they brainstormed their current co-written novel, THE GRAPEVINE.   Writer Bios ALEXANDRA SOKOLOFF is a native Californian who sold original scripts and wrote novel adaptations for major Hollywood studios before becoming the award-winning author of fourteen thrillers. CRAIG ROBERTSON spent twenty years as a journalist, covering some of the biggest stories across the globe. His eleven crime novels, mostly set in his native Scotland, have been shortlisted for all the UK’s major awards. They met in the US, now live in Scotland, and despite writing two books together are still married.   Book synopsis The Grapevine The Lost Highway Thrillers Book 1 How far would you go to find your missing child? Lou Gomersall’s going as far as it takes. When her nineteen-year old daughter Abby disappears, Lou embarks on a reckless road trip in the family RV, scouring the highways and back roads of California. A year later, the police don’t believe Lou’s theory that four other missing young women have been taken by the same elusive predator. So when another college sophomore disappears, Lou jumps on the fresh trail, enlisting millennial vanlifers, Gen Z entrepreneurs, boomer RVers, homeless sages, truck stop sex workers and everyone in between in her do-or-die mission to rescue Abby… Or kill the man who took her.   Author contacts: http://alexandrasokoloff.com https://www.facebook.com/craig.robertson.31586 http://www.facebook.com/alexandra.sokoloff https://authoralexandrasokoloff.substack.com https://www.instagram.com/craig_robertson_author/ https://www.instagram.com/alexandrasokoloff/   Thanks again for listening!

    Travel is a Journey: What is Travel? - ep 1

    What is Travel series: The many ways of looking at Travel Travel can mean so many things. It’s more than going from one place to another, and it’s greater than having an experience. It can be a physical movement from A to B, but it can also be a mental and emotional process. Travel can be contained in a moment through a memory or daydream. We can travel via our senses, through space and time. We travel in stories and art. We travel outward as well as inwards. And we don’t have to go very far to have a transformative experience. After living as a nomad since 2017, I am interested in exploring the multitudes of what travel is along with expanding our way of looking at it. When you think of travel, what are the first things that come to mind? Maybe you envision a vacation to Europe or the Tropics or some faraway place. Maybe a business trip or a retreat of some kind? There are so many reasons why we might be drawn to travel. A vacation, rest, retreat, business, school, escape, a spiritual journey, a bucket list, a long-time dream and so much more. I invite you to join me in this exploration of travel, taking a deeper look at more possibilities of what it can be and ways travel can be even more meaningful.

    Alea Bone Interview: How I changed my life for art

    Alea Bone Interview How I changed my life for art In this episode, Alea shares her path from Northern California to Yosemite to Portland to Los Angeles, and finally, to Joshua Tree. We talk about her process of working with found objects and how she discovered the beauty of bottlecaps and tin. Alea also discusses the impact of travel on how she makes her artwork, arriving at a big realization about how she wants to live her life and what it means to find her forever home. Artist Bio Alea Bone received her BFA in Illustration from the Pacific Northwest College of Art. Soon after graduating, she traded in her paintbrush for tin snips and a hammer. Her art is tactile and physical, cutting leather and pounding metal. She gleans inspiration from discarded items such as bottlecaps, beer cans and vintage tin. Over the last 15 years of working with recycled materials, she has discovered that objects have a way of finding her - rather than the other way around.  Growing up in Northern California and spending time in Yosemite, she gains inspiration from the beauty of nature. She recently relocated to the desert from Portland, Oregon in a car loaded with more bottlecaps than personal possessions. Her extensive collection has been donated by friends from all over the world throughout the years. These materials represent a collaboration of intention, generosity, and love, and add communal energy to her work.  To see more of Alea Bones work go to: aleabone on Instagram And BoneWerx on facebook If you enjoyed this podcast please consider subscribing to my email on my website: www.travelcreaterepeat.com There you can stay up to date on my travel blog, podcast episodes and see what’s in the art shop.
