    Laban/Bartenieff Studies with Colleen Wahl

    In Episode 9, I interview the incredible dance educator, Laban and Bartenieff Studies expert, Integrated Movement Studies Co-Director, author, researcher, and curious mover, Colleen Wahl! (What a list!). Colleen is one of my favorite people and teachers because she exudes such passion and joy about movement and all things Laban theory, philosophy, and practice. We get into SO many things about the Laban system and movement research. We talk about how the system relates to what we do as dancers and how it connects to life and the essence of creating and finding meaning in the world through the body. The Laban system is so expansive with regard to what the body can do, experience and perceive. It invites us to locate ourselves in the center of what we experience in our bodies and make meaning from that felt center. This work is really deep stuff, and Colleen has some very thought provoking ideas to share about it as we nerd out! We also talk about some of Colleen's very exciting collaborations and upcoming research projects including a new workshop she is creating that will happen this Fall 2022 in New York.

    Dancing in Los Angeles and Finding Your Niche with Hunter McCabe

    In Episode 8, we interview dancer, choreographer, teacher, and professional hair stylist and barber, Hunter McCabe from Tucson, Arizona. This is actually one of my favorite conversations thus far on the podcast. Hunter talks about his time in LA pursuing dance and industry work and gives insight into the ins and outs of the networking, balancing gigs and getting into the scene. We talk about finding your voice and niche as an artist, how he got into teaching and how he approaches his teaching practice and sharing his creative ideas. We talk about developing your sense of self and identity and staying true to that in an industry that can be challenging, using your platform as a positive influence, comparison syndrome (don't if this is an actual syndrome, but ya'll know what we are talking about am I right?), and lastly, we talk about taking the time to become clear and intentional in your artistry. Hunter is a great storyteller and I learned so much from him, we hope you enjoy the episode! Follow Hunter on IG: hmccabe333

    Prioritizing Time with a Creative Lifestyle

    In Episode 7, The Artist Arena Hosts Erin and Angelica talk about Erin's new big adventure and business launch, as well as the challenges of organizing your time as a creative. Because those of us who live a creative lifestyle don't usually have the typical 9 to 5, nor do we want to, we can face many challenges as we figure out how to organize and prioritize our schedules and commitments. Especially for dancers, whether you are in school full time or teaching, in addition to class, you're probably spending a lot of time in rehearsals for creative projects...and our bodies can only take on so much in a day. Oh, and don't forget we gotta fit in that cross-training and self-care somehow! Ahhh...yes, anyone else relate? We discuss these challenges as well as offer some tips and advice that we have discovered in our own finagle with time.

    Pursuing Graduate Studies Abroad at Trinity Laban with Katie Burks

    In Episode 6, Artist Arena Podcast Host Angelica DeLashmette Hurst interviews one of her long time dance artist friends, Katie Burks, about her experience receiving her MFA degree in choreography abroad in London. As it turns out, the definition of concert dance is very different from how we understand it here in America once you cross the Atlantic Ocean. We talk about Katie's brief time in New York City and why she left - we think its time to debunk the often held assumption that moving to the city that never sleeps is a right of passage for every dancer! We talk about making the decision to get a Master's degree in dance, what you should research and consider before applying to a graduate program, and we share some laughs and memories along the way!

  8. Imposter Syndrome with Vonie Kalich

    Imposter Syndrome with Vonie Kalich

    In this episode, we go from the Artist Arena to the Horse Arena with Vonie Kalich, an Equine Gestalt Coach and Health and Wellness Coach whose assistant is her equine partner, Cody. Vonie, Erin, and Angelica discuss questions about imposter syndrome and how it has shown up in our lives, art, and careers. We share stories as well as some great tools for examining imposter syndrome and agree that all the world's problems would be solved if everyone had a horse in their backyard. Vonie talks about how she works with the emotional intelligence of her horse to help clients connect with themselves on a deep level to face obstacles such as self-doubt. We also learn about the incredible healing power of horses, which reminds us of the ability we have to engage in non-verbal dialogue through the body; body to body transmission. As dance artists, we engage in this kind of communication all the time, which only further confirms our initial feeling that horses and imposter syndrome are connected to the work that we do as dancers and creators.

    Undergrad Horror Stories: Harmful Experiences in Dance Academia and the Silver Lining

    Everyone loves a good horror story around Halloween. For our second episode, we decided to share some of our own horror stories from dance school. No, we're not talking about the 2018 remake of Suspiria, (although Erin would not mind having had Tilda Swinton as a teacher!) In this Episode, we talk about some of our most problematic experiences in dance academia. The things some teachers told us that broke our souls at the time and now we can look back and laugh about it. We invite our guest, Shantel, to join the conversation and her stories left us shocked. We challenge and question the traditions, positions of authority, and audition processes that determine who gets to major in dance. We also discuss the many different paths and roads one can take in the field of dance and dance education, and how we make room for the many different talents, abilities, and interests one may have as a dance major. *This episode was initially released on 10/30/21 and an updated version of it was uploaded on 11/14/21.

    Creativity, Polarity, and Suspending Disbelief

    In our introductory episode of The Artist Arena Podcast, we dive deep into how the Covid-19 pandemic challenged and shifted our relationship between self and creative practice. We discuss how society has quickly shifted into polarizing and black-and-white thinking. We examine how dance is a powerful medium that challenges this, bringing us closer to understanding difference, embracing it, and finding and developing third spaces of thought, and lastly, how Jeffrey Davis's theory of Radical Openness and the concept of Suspending Disbelief can work together to help us find new solutions and engage in innovative creativity.
