On today's episode, GC and David speak with local artist, John S, Rushton. This local artist, with his fingers in every pie from theater to painting, joins us to discuss the urgency of creation. His life philosophy isn't just inspiring; it's a wakeup call to anyone who's ever felt the pull of a muse. We share laughter and poignant moments as we unravel his wide range of experiences, leaving no stone unturned in our pursuit of what it means to truly live an artistic life.
Our conversation flows from the symbiosis of personal growth and artistic evolution, touching on the richness that age and experience bring to the creative table. John's journey is a testament to the notion that art isn't just a static craft but a living, breathing extension of ourselves.
We cast our gaze toward the future, considering the significant role of theater and arts in community engagement and the pressing need for local investment in Winston-Salem's vibrant cultural scene.
We bid farewell with John's reflections on love, loss, and the ways in which they infuse our creative endeavors with a deeper sense of purpose, and what we can expect from him next.
And, in a final twist of levity with "That Dumb Shit", we debate the suitability of dog breeds for people of different heights and the potential insanity of eating a single potato chip with two hands.
