The Addictive Magic Of Performance - with Jess Khan-Lee

This week, Kevin talks to actor, dancer, and choreographer, Jess Khan-Lee, one of the most gifted performers working today, about what it means to be a performer, the intangible magic that happens when we connect with fellow performers and audiences, and how life has changed for the arts during lockdown. KEY TAKEAWAYS Freedom of speech is a two-way street. We can't decry others for speaking out, by insisting that our freedom of speech is being threatened, or we are essentially cancelling out our own argument. Performers are drawn to their professions because of the magical allure of it - that intangible connection we make when we connect with an audience through artistic expression. Even without an audience present, the performing arts allow us to create an enchanted connection between ourselves and our fellow performers. Any investments we make in the development of our career is an investment into our unique, personal artistry.
