    A day in dance with SARA LINDSTRÖM LINDHE, Peter and Yari

    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.

    S1 Ep26 Dance Workshop (The One-Minute Dance)

    This episode focuses on time as one of the largest compositional structures in improvisation. Until now, much of the responsibility for timing has been left open, but here timing becomes the frame itself. The session asks a simple but demanding question: when does an improvisation begin, and when does it end? The core task is to create a dance that lasts exactly one minute. You are invited to begin immediately when the timer starts and to end without preparing an ending. By working within an extremely short temporal frame, the episode explores how duration shapes decision-making, attention, and narrative. A one-minute dance refuses the long arc of endurance and instead sharpens urgency, clarity, and choice. The task is then repeated multiple times. You are asked to perform the one-minute improvisation at least three times, noticing what remains consistent and what changes from iteration to iteration. Through repetition, patterns begin to appear and questions of composition start to surface, even within improvisation. The episode reflects on temporal framing more broadly, including counting, pauses, and measured durations as tools for structuring movement. Time is treated as an active material rather than a neutral container. A reference is made to Erwin Wurm’s One Minute Sculptures, where participants hold simple actions for exactly one minute, temporarily becoming a sculpture before it disappears. This connection situates the exercise within a wider artistic context. The episode closes with three reflective questions: How does time change your decisions?What gets prioritised when time is scarce?When does improvisation start to feel composed? Dance workshopExplore, imagine, move. A companion series to PETER, dance with. These short audio workshops invite you to explore dance through imagination, movement, and curiosity. A space to rethink what dance can be, anywhere, for anyone. To listen to the workshops: https://stillpeter.com/peter-audio-dance-workshop/ Music leaning by mobygratis
