EPISODE DESCRIPTION:"This is my therapy," we say while entering the theatre. "That was therapeutic," we exhale after dancing out our stress. We know that art is healing, but can it truly replace therapy? In Episode 83 Grace talks with therapist Ameya Calvocoressi about the ways art can heal us, and how therapy can help us create better art.SHOW NOTES:Ameya's band Rotary Ghost is on InstagramThe Art Life (David Lynch documentary) is currently streaming on HBO MaxNarrative HumilityInternal Family Systems Therapy by Richard C, Schwartz and  Martha SweezyGhetto Klown (John Leguizamo's return to the stage)Ghetto Klown by John Leguizamo , Christas Cassano, and Shamus Beyale (graphic novel adaptation of the stage show)Rocket Fantastic: Poems by Gabrielle Calvocoressi (Ameya's sister)Send Grace your requests for new topics and interview guests: theartlifeshow@gmail.comRELATED EPISODES:Episode 72: Are Witches Artists?
