Listen to a conversation with musician, artist and playwright Michelle Pauls as she discusses her work as a grief activist in Philadelphia, and how she has turned her personal grief into an interactive theatrical experience.
Following the untimely death of her husband and artistic collaborator, Stan Heleva, Michelle turned her grief into an immersive, interactive, and storytelling experience in a production entitled It's Complicated....This Gift of Life.
Michelle is also the leader of a Philly-based band, The Poettes.
Described in the The Poettes' website as “a cross between Captain Beefheart and The B-52s. Part spoken word, part rock – n - roll. All fun! "
"Life is all about letting go and moving forward. After all, life is short, art is long!"
