Dance Reflection is a weekly Friday podcast with Peter Mills and Yari Stilo, centred on conversation, shared practice, and taking time to look back in order to think forward. This guest series extends that reflection by inviting dance artists and practitioners to recount their yesterday, a day in their lives, tracing what they did from beginning to end. Through this simple structure, each episode opens a conversation into the textures and rhythms of living with dance. Across the course of a day, a wide range of activity comes into view: rehearsals, teaching, creating, resting, travelling, organising, or simply noticing. Moments that might otherwise seem peripheral become part of a broader understanding of practice, revealing how dance is carried, interrupted, adapted, or sustained. The day becomes a way of approaching larger questions: what it means to work with dance, how a practice continues over time, and how it moves through different contexts, demands, and conditions. Whether the day is full or uneventful, structured or improvised, it offers a situated perspective on a life in dance, where practice is not separate from daily life, but continuously shaped within it. Rebecca Hilton is an Australian dance person now living in Sweden. She was a Professor of Choreography in the research profile area Site, Event, Encounter at Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH). Her practice spans decades of dancing, performance-making, and collaborative research across embodied, community, and institutional contexts. Interested in how choreographic thinking operates in daily life, her work explores oral traditions, embodied knowledge, citation, and the relational spaces where movement meets lived experience.
