Jessica Altchiler —
Hello and welcome to the Story Project. This is a podcast for artists to heal through conversation, cultivate community, and create change in the industry and the world at large. Every individual deserves to feel safe and supported in the environments where they perform, learn, teach, and create. This is a space for artists to tell their stories and express their truths in an effort to become more embodied and empowered.
My name is Jessica Altchiler and I am the host and creator of the Story Project. Our mission here is to create healthier, safer, and more supportive environments for performing artists. And I believe that when we create those spaces for each other and ourselves, that will permeate into the world around us. We are committed to inspiring artists to rediscover, redefine, and recommit to their own joy.
We focus on identifying, celebrating, and paying attention to all of the elements that make a whole artist. That includes all of our passions, all of our needs, all of our emotions, and all of our desires. And we offer conversations, tools, and resources to help artists prioritize their well-being from both a personal and professional perspective. Let's see where this journey takes us. Together.
