Amazing work Jess and Shelby!
Wow. These discussions that these two incredible humans are having are simply inspirational. What an amazing thing for every kind of artist out there, especially with what this past year has thrown at us. These two ladies have so much to offer and so much wisdom from the amazing careers they’ve had. Much love to both of them for speaking about so many beautiful and sometimes difficult topics. ❤️ they continue to inspire me! Xo, M
Smart, therapeutic, insightful and inspiring
WOW. Artists Becoming is exactly what the dance world needs. I would have loved to have access to something like this when I was a student/young professional.
However, I find that these podcasts are important for artists of any age or at any stage of their career. I have recommended Artists Becoming to many of my students as well as my fellow colleagues. These conversations are so important, timely, and therapeutic. If you want to continue your dance career/artform for many years to come, this is the tool you need! Thank you Jessica and Shelby for inspiring us all, for creating this community, and providing a platform for powerful conversations. Amazing work!!!
