  • Laban/Bartenieff Studies with Colleen Wahl

    Laban/Bartenieff Studies with Colleen Wahl
    May 30 2022

    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

    Dancing in Los Angeles and Finding Your Niche with Hunter McCabe
    May 4 2022
    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
