Creating Behavior with Charlie Sandlan
Creating Behavior is a podcast exploring artistry, human behavior, emotional truth, and the creative life through the lens of acting.
Hosted by Charlie Sandlan — Artistic Director and Master Teacher of the Maggie Flanigan Studio in New York City — the show examines what it truly means to live as an artist in an age increasingly shaped by superficiality, distraction, and performance.
Through solo reflections and deeply honest conversations with actors, writers, directors, and artists, Creating Behavior explores discipline, vulnerability, imagination, empathy, creativity, identity, and the pursuit of truthful human behavior.
Rooted in the belief that acting is an art form — and that the best actors are artists — the podcast challenges shortcut culture and surface-level performance, while advocating for rigor, humanity, emotional courage, and artistic integrity.
Whether discussing craft, psychology, film, literature, culture, or the inner life of the artist, each episode is an invitation to remain curious, fully alive, and devoted to the deeper pursuit of truthful artistry.
