Listening into Being: An Actor’s Invitation
Presentation Announcement by Adam Blum (USA)
Blum, A., Fiorella, K., & Weigert, R. (2025, June 14). “Listening into Being: An Actor’s Invitation” [Presentation.] San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis (SFCP), San Francisco & remote.
What do therapists and actors have in common? Both are always listening for something to emerge – a character coming to life, a story taking shape, a feeling taking form. What happens when we direct this form of listening toward one another? Following the recent publication of her essay, “Listening into Being” (Psychoanalytic Inquiry, 2023), Emmy-nominated film and television actress Robin Weigert (Deadwood, Big Little Lies) will join us at the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis to discuss profound resonances between the actor’s and the analyst’s practices of listening.
Showcasing moments from some of her most compelling performances, we will form a dialogue between our kindred disciplines about the deeply responsive art of listening into being – listening to one another, and finding out who we become.
The event is hosted by Adam Blum, Psy.D. and features Kristin Fiorella, Psy.D. in dialogue with Weigert.
