    What Does a Creative Life Ask of Us? | Success, Failure, Faith & the Creative Process w/Jakari Sherman

    Choreographer and ethno-choreologist Jakari Sherman sits down for a wide-ranging conversation about the experiences, questions, failures, and discoveries that have shaped his life and work as an artist.  Jakari reflects on his early relationship with rhythm, his unexpected path from engineering into dance, and the evolution of his creative process. The conversation also explores faith and creativity, the difference between surrender and submission, the role of wonder and humility in making art, and Jakari's growing understanding of himself not as the center of the creative process, but as a participant in something larger than himself.
