ArtStorming
Ever wonder what makes really creative people tick? Where do their ideas come from? What keeps them energized? What kinds of things get in their way? In each episode of ArtStorming, we’ll explore how new ideas come to life, and how the most creative among us stare down a blank canvas or reach into the void and create something new.
Host Lili Pierrepont takes us on a journey of discovery; inviting us to ponder what drives and sustains the creative spark within each individual.
With great appreciation for music written and performed by John Cruickshank.

ArtStorming the City Different: Myra Krien
Meet amazing Myra —dancer, performer, body poet, choreographer, set and fashion designer, and granddaughter of the great Zen philosopher Alan Watts. Myra discusses her lifelong passion for dance, particularly Middle Eastern and belly dance forms, and how she has incorporated these into her work as a performer, teacher, artistic director of her own dance company and founder of a youth mentorship program. Myra emphasizes the transformative power of dance, its ability to build community, and the need to approach it with respect, curiosity, and a willingness to transcend age and body type barriers.
Music for ArtStorming the City Different was written and performed by John Cruikshank.
