What does the evolution as the radio as a functional tool to performance space have to do with the creative process today? How do form and structure create the conditions for creativity to grow?

In this episode of The Craft of Being, filmmaker and director Alek Lev joins me for a conversation about navigating the space between order and play. We trace how projects—whether film, theater, or collaborative endeavors—take shape when guided by thoughtful planning and made alive through adaptability.

This dialogue explores how logistics can hold space for intuition, how transferable skills move across creative disciplines, and why building systems is less about containment and more about expansion. Creativity thrives when structure is designed to let ideas breathe.
