Beyond the stage and spotlight, this podcast uncovers the unseen layers of a dancer’s life. We explore dance politics, economics, sustainable practices, and rest as resistance. From injury prevention to dance psychology, education, and history, we question hierarchies and reimagine movement as care, critique, and change. A space for dancers and thinkers to reflect, resist, and redefine what dance means today.

    Let’s Talk: Enriching Choreographic Spaces with Sonia Soney and Henna Raisinghani

    In this episode, I sit down with Henna Raisinghani to talk about how choreographic spaces can become places of both creativity and care. We explore the world of dance movement psychotherapy and discuss practical tools that support dancers’ well-being while encouraging innovation. Together, we share ideas on how rehearsal rooms and performance spaces can be transformed into environments that not only inspire artistry but also nurture the people within them.

    Let’s Talk:Burnout, Injuries, Recovery & Care in Dance with Sonia Soney and Divija Melally

    What happens when a dancer’s body whispers for pause, but the world applauds endurance? In this episode, we delve into the layered realities of injuries, chronic fatigue, and the quiet moments dancers often feel they aren’t allowed to take. We explore how rest can be more than just a break, it can be a conscious, empowering act of resistance against the "push through the pain" culture. Through conversations on recovery, body awareness, and sustainable practice, we reframe rest as a radical form of self-respect and long-term care. Join us as we hold space for stories of burnout, healing, and the shift toward a dance culture that values well-being as much as performance. Because behind every strong performance is a body that also needs permission to soften.
