The Irish Gods of Multi-Passionate Creators

There's a lot of talk these days - maybe always - about the need for creative people to "niche down," pick a lane, and focus on one thing. But is this really necessary? Does it catapult us to success, or does it lead us to cut off avenues of growth?

Please tell us:
1. What are the multiple arts you practice? List 'em all out. We want to cheer you on!
2. What advice do you give yourself or others who are harangued to pick a lane and stay in it?

Thank you so much for visiting me here and for sharing your thoughts. I'm having a ball with you!

WHAT IS THIS CHANNEL ABOUT?
It's about how creative people like us can draw on the resources of Irish folklore and tradition to create your unique art with more JOY, freedom, and prizes. Poetry, seasonal lore, words and wordsmithery, music, storytelling, and traditional customs are all on the menu here!

WHO AM I?
I'm a poet, singer, storyteller, and scholar and teacher of Irish language and folklore with a PhD in Celtic Languages and Literatures from Harvard University where I've been teaching for the past 25 years. I also run the Bardic Academy, a school for singers, harpers, poets, and pianists, as well as the Celtic Wisdom School where we study Irish folklore with an eye to growing in creativity, wisdom, and joy.
