Wade Jackson — Awakening our Humanity through Play

“Life can crush your spirit and Art is about reminding you that you have one.” — Wade Jackson on Please Blow My Mind Think back to those moments in life when things magically fell into place. Remember that time you told that joke and made everyone in the room fall over laughing or maybe the deep connection that you had when you first met your partner and while looking deep into each other's eyes you opened a portal for potential love. Still with me? How do these moments happen and how can they happen for you? The answer is buried deep within this podcast and within our guest, Wade Jackson as he takes us on his mind-blowing adventure into a world of self-creation, self-discovery and self-expression through improv and play. If you want to play better with others better, do follow Wade and the team at Covert Theatre - 51 Mackelvie Street in Ponsonby, Auckland - NZ’s spiritual home of improvised comedy.
