Journey of an Artist
The path to success is rarely a straight line. And the path to success as a creative professional? That line tends to be especially squiggly. In the new series, Journey of an Artist, singer-songwriter and poet, Emmeline, talks to creatives from all walks of life about their passions, their paths, and the persistence they’ve employed to reach a point of professional and personal fulfillment. Emmeline sits down with voice actors, poets, dancers, musicians, graphic designers, stylists, and more to discuss the decisions they’ve made, the challenges they’ve faced, the obstacles they’ve overcome, and where they’d like their vision to take them next. She also reinforces the belief that—with love, grit, perseverance, and an abundance of joy—anything is possible.You can live the life you want, the life that brings you the most joy, and Emmeline's guests are living proof. Episodes air most Sundays at 12 PM CST on Deep Ellum Radio. For behind-the-scenes information and insights, follow Emmeline on Instagram at @EmmelineMusic.

Taking a Play from Script to Stage with Training Set's Creative Team
"It has to be good vibes all the way."
How does an idea become a script? How does a script become a full, on-stage production? How does one assemble the team necessary to make that transition as seamless as possible?
In this episode, Emmeline sits down with the creative team behind the brand new play, Training Set, to answer these questions and more. The episode features actors and producers Chelsea LeSage and Jenilyn Rodriguez, writer Sonny Marwah, and director Serena Norr. The team shares the organic process by which the show came together and the magic by which they were able to assemble a creative support system. They also talk candidly about the challenges of taking a show from script to stage in just a few months' time. Chelsea shares her mantras for synergy, Jenilyn talks about the ways in which theater can be healing, Sonny discusses his goals for audience reception as a writer, and Serena shares the collaborative attitude that she tries to bring to every production. They also talk about the magic of having friends that encourage and support your creativity!
Training Set opens on December 3rd and runs through December 7th at Theatre Row in New York City. To learn more about the play, or to buy tickets, visit the official website and be sure to follow the show on Instagram. There will be a special talkback after Thursday's performance!
