Ep. 4: Tenacity in the DIY Arts World and SoLow Fest with Chris Davis

ReVisioning the Arts

Chris Davis, organizer of SoLow Fest (www.solowfest.weebly.com) joins me to talk about tenacity and resilience in the DIY world. Keep this podcast in your arsenal for the times when you feel down about your art and the world isn’t meeting you. Chris’ inspiring stories of continuing on his path without traditional fame and glory (but with much love and admiration from those in his community) will help you to reframe success as an artist.

Chris Davis (actor/writer) is a writer and performer residing in Philadelphia, PA. His solo shows have toured throughout the United States and Europe. Recently he won the Special Prize as part of the Thespis Monodrama Festival in Kiel, Germany.

Recent projects include solo shows One-Man Nutcracker (“a refreshing splash to the face…”), The Presented (★★★★ - The List), The Last Emperor of Mexico, One-Man Apocalypse Now (★★★★★ - “superbly crafted” - Underdog Reviews), Juan-Winfield, Bortle 8 (“…a strikingly original writer and performer.” - The Scotsman), Drunk Lion (“A potent success” ★★★★★ - Wee Review), and Violence of the Lambs (“…absurd comedy at its very best." ★★★★★ – The Student Newspaper ).
