Grief, Gigs & Getting Through

Session details:

Grief doesn’t wait for the production to wrap, so how do we keep doing the work when we’re in the midst of a life changing event? And how do we support someone else who is? This candid discussion with Jennifer Kramer, Production Props Supervisor for Aladdin worldwide, explores grief in the entertainment workplace—from the loss of a parent to any major life loss or change—and the role that leaders, peers, and coworkers can play. While centered on the loss of a parent, the conversation applies to grief of all kinds. In this interactive conversation, we’ll focus on practical ways to offer support while respecting deadlines, call times, and the reality that sometimes the show really does have to go on.
