The Whistling Hens duo, comprised of Natalie Groom (Affiliate Artist of Clarinet at UMBC) and soprano Jennifer Piazza-Pick (Assistant Professor of Voice at Queens University of Charlotte) were at the National Women’s Theatre Festival at NC State presenting “Imposter! Reclaiming Rejection as a Motivating Force.”
In this event, they performed Thursday by Ashi Day and Musical Invective by Jennifer Stevenson. Together the Hens unpacked ways depersonalize and disarm rejection by way of humor, and reclaimed insults and imposter syndrome as a motivating force to help fellow artists take back their creative joy.
