Jessica Shaw wanted to be an actress until a performance changed her understanding of what theatre can do – and how play helps us connect with ourselves and each other.
Listen in for these highlights:
-Jessica leads Lara and her producer Jennifer through a classic improv exercise – with hilarious results
-Why feeling resistant to play is exactly the right mindset to have going into a play exercise
-How a civic theatre performance in Ghana blew up Jessica’s entire understanding of what theatre can do – shifted her vision for her life
-How play might save your tense family dinner and help you connect across generations
-How to tune into what makes you feel playful - and how to allow for more wonder in your day-to-day life
-Why finding your “little cheeky playful joy” might improve your emotional fitness (and make you more productive)
