Care, A Creative Practice

Angel Glasby (she/they) and Ke’Ron J. Wilson (she/they) hold a tender conversation about creating environments of care for trans dance artists in rehearsal, and how that care enriches art. Through their lens, we begin to see where the intersection of Black trans and non-binary experiences is situated in the larger landscape of dance. Though transphobia and real tangible harm are inflicted on trans people, Angel and Ke’Ron hold the joy that persists just as close and tenderly.

This podcast reminds me of the talks about life, connection, and soul that feel very meaningful to my time in the studio. Especially with the lockdowns, I miss those talks that are apart of the dance community when I go into a dance studio. Thanks to the hosts for being this sense of spirit into the conversations. I’m excited to see where this podcast goes 🤗
It’s a new standard.

WWDUD? What would dance union do? This is a real question I ask myself as an artist, performer, dancer, choreographer, community builder, supporter, fan, human. KEEP ON! With the real conversations, killer guests, total vulnerability. Subscribe now, or be ignorant forever.
Desperately needed discussions in dance

If you’re needing something more than interviews with ballerinas, look no further. Melanie and J are able to have fun, crack jokes, and at the same time discuss deeply important topics in and around the field. If dance can change and heal the world, The Dance Union will be leading us.

A place to share ideas. A place to voice concerns. A place to demand change. A space of resistance. A space to unify. A podcast.
