S1,E13 - Defining Talent With Zoia Wiseman

Today's episode includes many delightfully unexpected highlights, including establishing that an atlatl is NOT an axolotl, that paleontology IS like acting, and that not all electricians wire the same (nor are wired the same). Such an intriguing web of topics is par for the course when talking with Zoia Wiseman, who recently received her MFA in Television, Film, and Theatre/Acting Option from Cal State LA, having come into that program with over two decades of experience as a professional stage manager, lighting designer, instructor, and more. In this episode, Zoia and Laura discuss the distinctions and intersections of talent, skill, and artistry - a discussion that is greatly enhanced by Zoia's ever-present lens of the consummate lifelong learner.
