Dreaming, tinkering, note-taking, messing around. Rehearsing, redoing, undoing, rolling upside down. The Process turns the spotlight on what happens long before an audience shows up. Through interviews with Chicago dancemakers and performers, this podcast is about the process, the value in the work and the working, and unpacking the methods by which we create dance.

Welcome to The Group Chat

Guess what, y’all? Season 3 of The Process is dropping on September 20th! This season, we’re diving into THE GROUP CHAT, featuring some of Chicago’s finest creatives—Kara Brody, Rahila Coats, SJ Swilley, and Camila Rivero Pooley. They’re sitting down with our host, Alyssa Gregory, to talk all things ensemble work. We’re getting into the real questions: What does an ideal creative process even look like? Is it possible? How does vulnerability shift when you’re creating with a group instead of on your own? And of course, we’re talking about self-care—because we all know how crucial that is in any creative journey.

Live Episode!

It's a live episode! Through support from Arts + Public Life Performance Residency we were able to hold an in-process showing of Kiki's work ABORT. After the showing we sat down with our audience to talk even more about the work and invited the audience to ask Kiki and Deja questions. On top of the live episode you get to hear recordings from in-process showing. So much gratitude to Kiki, for so bravely and generously sharing their project, Abort, with me and The Process podcast. It’s been so special to see Kiki’s project unfold during this residency here, and I’m so excited for you all to witness their incredible process. I must thank Soham Dance Space and Arts & Public Life for their support of this project. Both organizations have not only said “yes” to my many ideas, but they have also said “yes and” which is an incredible gift. Special thanks to Anjal Chande for being my right hand and left foot through all of this. It’s a joy making and creating with you. You are 100% stuck with me.

Listening Party

IT'S A LISTENING PARTY!! The soundtrack for Abort comes from a playlist Kiki made called Black Women Rock. Listen in as I sit down in the studio with Kiki and we go through her incredible playlist and talk about how sound plays a role in her creative process.

Inside the Studio

This season we are changing our process and following 1 artist over three episodes. Through support from Arts + Public Life I was able to work with Kiki King as they worked on a new chapter of their latest work ABORT. In this episode we are going inside the studio with Kiki. I talk to Kiki about what the studio means to them, how they approach choreography alone in the studio and with their collaborator, Deja Hood. In addition to our conversation you will hear voice memos recorded during rehearsals.

Nora Sharp

Hey Process Fam! Here we are volume3, episode 3. Y'all. today's episode is full of those good good vibes because my homie Nora Sharp is here. Nora's work spans dance, storytelling, comedy, and film, sometimes through solo performance and sometimes through directed collaborations. Personally, I like to say they are a movement comedian and truth teller. I’ve been lucky enough to work with Nora on several projects on and off the stage and Nora is invested in Chicago dance. I appreciate that they are not afraid of digging deep and doing the work to address whatever f*****y is happening. I’m so excited to talk with them about their latest work The Real Dance: A Micro Reality TV Show. If you haven’t watched- pause this podcast right now, go to their website, watch and come back and listen to this episode. It's 20 minutes of pure dance and movement bliss. Nora had lots of reasons to create this work but my favorite is “My excitement about forms of entertainment (such as reality TV) that can frame experimental or process-based work in a way that changes the tone, lowers the stakes, and expands the ways we’re invited to get invested in the work.” I told, Nora is not afraid to ask the hard questions and do the work to find out the hard answers. Our co-host for this episode is my good Sis, Tia Greer. Tia is one of the most realest and kindest humans that I know. She is close Fam and I’m thankful for the Black dance connection that brought us together many years ago. Tia moves and speaks from true honesty and always with true clarity. It’s beautiful to witness and also experience on stage with her.
