"Stepping into the flow of creativity is stepping into healing, and it’s stepping into yourself."
Imagine stepping onto a stage, your heart pounding, ready to share your most personal stories with a room full of strangers. That’s the kind of raw honesty comedian and screenwriter Freddi Gralle brings to her craft. In this episode of 'Artists Rising', host JennyRebecca Ronning chats with Freddi about the highs and lows of embracing vulnerability in artistic expression.
Freddi opens up about experiencing 'vulnerability hangovers'—that emotional hangover you get after revealing too much of yourself—and why it’s worth it for the sake of authentic connection with her audience. Freddi also dives into her journey of finding her voice and making herself visible as an artist. She reflects on the misconceptions surrounding comedy, emphasizing that it’s not just about being shocking or controversial. Instead, it’s about connecting with people on a deeper level.
Having lived in Germany and felt disconnected from the creative community there, Freddi shares how she discovered her passion for comedy and the nervous excitement she still feels when performing new material. The conversation also touches on the challenges of adapting comedy for different cultures and languages. Freddi discusses how certain jokes might not translate well across cultural boundaries and the importance of reading the room's energy.
Her insights into improvisation reveal how being present and responsive can make or break a performance. Freddi and JennyRebecca also explore the importance of mindset and self-care for artists. From mental preparation before a show to using music as a creative catalyst, Freddi shares practical tips for maintaining balance in a demanding career. This episode is a treasure trove of advice for anyone struggling to find their voice or connect with their audience.
Tune in to hear Freddi’s candid stories and valuable lessons on why vulnerability and authenticity are essential in art. Whether you’re an artist, comedian, or simply someone looking to live more authentically, this episode offers a heartfelt guide to embracing your true self.
