  <title>Coping 101: Socks On My Hands</title>
  <description>Dustin Curtis talks with socks on his hands for a living. He's at once an artist, administrator, performer and&amp;amp;nbsp;Puppeteer.&amp;amp;nbsp;As Executive Director of&amp;amp;nbsp;Socks On My Hands Productions, Dustin leads the nonprofit Puppet Arts organization which focuses on Creative Skill Fluency. He's studied the&amp;amp;nbsp;artform internationally, been President of the Puppeteers of America and founded Trivia Puppet Company out of Seattle. As Dustin puts it,&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;Puppetry is a universal language, one that teaches relation and empathy - a pathway to relate, connect, and encourage people&amp;quot; -&amp;amp;nbsp;of all ages. Nathan Hale High School's Podcast Club Advisor and fellow Theater professional, Gavin Reub, sat with Dustin to discuss the ages-old art of Puppetry, the unique ways it can foster identity and expression, and the importance of creative communities that live outside the mainstream. &amp;amp;nbsp; Co-presented by 4Culture,&amp;amp;nbsp;Coping 101's&amp;amp;nbsp;Artist Mental Health Stories amplify voices from King County's cultural sector to empower individual artists, uplift the creative community and destigmatize mental health from a teen's perspective. No matter our age or background we all face challenges, and there are many healthy ways to find balance.
