Art without fear

“Love what you’re able to give” - Ihsan Quamie In this episode we looked into fear and how it impacts the art that we produce. We shared music, and reasoned on what fear meant to us as artists. Our guests are Joy and Rob, Leaders and creators of Imaginary Millions. A long running,revolutionary open mic event. The event was one full of warmth, vulnerability, and groove. We discussed: * Whether fear is essential to art (and performance) * Removing limits from the creative process & free form * How we can use and overcome our own fear In early 2020 Imaginary Millions won The Albany's 'Pizza and Pitches' competition; with the goal to bring the event into a theatre space.
