Episode 13: Art vs. Management: A Balancing Act
"What do you do, exactly?" It’s a question Alfred University Performing Arts Production Manager Randy Wachtel hears constantly. In this presentation, Wachtel explores the delicate balance of maintaining an artistic soul within the structural demands of management. By reflecting on a career where every stage and meeting room served as a classroom, he shares how a lifelong pursuit of art has shaped his approach to work, life, and the creative process.
