  • Summary

  • At some point in dance we have to address the taboo things that people don't talk about. Like have legitimate conversations about those things and making changes systematically. Some aspects of dance are so traditional from when said style was first created. It is a fact that no dancer will ever achieve perfection, because there is always room to grow. That is what is great about creativity.

    But for some reason in dance as a system, people enjoy preserving traditional values, especially the toxic ones. Like the stereotype that dancers have to look a certain way in order to "make it". Dance is a limitless art form when it comes to how far it can grow, and it has the capability of going so far.

    Like dancers, dance (as a system) always has the capacity to grow regardless of people's perception on perfection. Dance consists of constant learning and change. It doesn't matter how much dance experience anyone has. We have every power to change stereotypes and the side effects of being in the dance world, but people aren't willing to change. That is pretty normal for every kind of issue in the world but I am targeting dance in particular.

    I love dance and I acknowledge that it shifted in a good way, but it still has a long way to go.

    This dance podcast, meant for everyone, discusses dance systematically from the prospective of a university student studying dance. The goal of this podcast is to encourage people to think about dance as a system in a lighthearted format. Episodes will be published every other Thursday. Welcome to the convo!

    Upcoming episodes will be released on the following dates:
    October 31st
    November 14th
    November 28th

  • Owning a Theatre, and Choreography with Lauren Tait

    Owning a Theatre, and Choreography with Lauren Tait
    Oct 17 2024

    In this episode, we speak with Lauren Tait, who shares her experience as a company director who owns a theater (that's pretty cool!) and discuss her choreographic process when it comes to creating dances. Dance creation comes from a lot more than a thesaurus of terms, it is movement generated by the body, for the body.

  • Favoritism is for the Weak

    Favoritism is for the Weak
    Oct 3 2024

    On this episode I share my approach to favoritism, bias, and jealousy and delve into what that could look like in the dance education world. My goal for the episode was to share potential risk factors of favoritism and encouraging dance students to think critically about their teachers perceptions of hard work, and their ability and willingness to provide feedback.

    Oftentimes, when a student observes potential favoritism going on, they are usually right, however it is important to keep in mind that sometimes not getting opportunities in comparison to peers could also be caused by other factors. If you are concerned of potential favoritism, I would advise talking to your classmates first or asking for feedback from the teacher and see how they respond to that.

    Please keep in mind that this is not a professional perspective. I am not liable if you take this advice.
