Creativity In The Age of COVID Episode 6 (11/19/2020)

Published: Nov. 20, 2020, 4 a.m.

Dr. Judi Bloom and Richard Skipper have joined forces to address the issues facing those in the entertainment industry in the new world we now find ourselves in. This is the show in which therapy and entertainment come together to show artists how to not only cope in the age of COVID but also how to keep creating. Dr. Bloom and Richard are joined by Mindy Fradkin, Sue Matsuki, and Deborah Stone. Mindy Fradkin aka Princess Wow is a real original and speaks and sings from her heart as she promotes raising awareness to the healing power of a genuine smile. In a non-pretentious way, Mindy shares personal anecdotes about her unusual life while wearing colorful clothing and hats that she creates in order to uplift and bring good cheer.  Sue Matsuki is one of the leading members of the cabaret community. With decades of devotion to the craft, the patrons, and the family of artists, Sue has developed into a kind of matriarch of the neighborhood. In fact, she is often referred to as "The Godmother of Cabaret" - a name that was passed on to her that she takes seriously. Always present at the shows, the ceremonies, the events, the workshops, the master classes, Sue takes her role to heart and always leads with a benevolence many find comforting and helpful.  A native New Yorker, Deborah Stone is a former professional dancer and fitness instructor on both coasts, and was a cast member in the original LA cast of La Cage aux Folles.  She did her first cabaret show in New York City in 2016 and has never looked back! https://mindyfradkin.com/ http://suematsuki.com/ Deborah-Stone.com
