  • Between Light and Shadow: The Art of Remembering Through Dance

    Between Light and Shadow: The Art of Remembering Through Dance
    Jul 23 2025
    We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are. — Anaïs Nin Join me for a journey into perception, memory, and vulnerability as experienced through contemporary dance. In this episode, I reflect on two captivating works: Corina Kinnear and Company's "Forgotten Time" and Jordan Saenz's "The Shadow Poems". Discover how movement resonates with our inner stories and draws us into the ebb and flow of time. A Few Key Takeaways 1. Forgotten Time by Corina Kinnear and Company: Shifting Memories, Elastic Time Corina Kinnear's "Forgotten Time" envelops you in a contemplative, almost cinematic world. Imagine a stage awash in subtle lighting as dancers drift in and out of shadow—each movement a meditation on how memory and perception stretch and contract the moments that make up our lives.
    • The choreography doesn't just recount events; it surfaces the nostalgia and anticipation that inform how we experience time itself.
    • Music, lighting, and presence work together to prompt reflection: Which memories do we hold onto? Which do we let slip by?

    Dance Life Parallel: Artistic creation—and our lives—are shaped by how we recall the past and imagine the future. Every step carries the echo of memories remade in the moment. 2. The Shadow Poems by Jordan Saenz: Dancing with Vulnerability "The Shadow Poems," co-created and danced by Jordan Saenz and Ariana Daub, exposes the intricacies of our inner world—dysregulation, fear, surrender, grief, and the hard-won gift of self-compassion.
    • The dialogue between the dancers' bodies is riveting: sometimes leaning in for support, breaking away. It's a study in dependency and the bravery it takes to let go.
    • The motif of shadow—shifting and morphing as the dancers approach the light suggests how appearances, attachments, and identities are amplified or diminished by our proximity to what we seek.
    • The choreography conjures the yoga concept of aparigraha (non-attachment), posing the question: What are you holding onto too tightly?

    Dance Life Parallel: Vulnerability is a practice, onstage and off. Recognizing it and moving through it is where transformation lives. 3. Personal Reflections: When Life Meets Performance It's those small, unscripted moments that shape the experience:

  • Dancing Through Time: Lessons from Little Women Ballet

    Dancing Through Time: Lessons from Little Women Ballet
    Jul 2 2025
    I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning to sail my ship. -Louisa May Alcott I invite you to join me as I step into the enchanting world of the Little Women Ballet immersive experience at Heritage Square Museum in Los Angeles. Surrounded by the rich history of Victorian-era homes and the artistry of live ballet, I found myself reflecting on how the timeless journey of the March sisters mirrors the challenges and triumphs we face as creatives and entrepreneurs. As we explore this unique blend of dance, storytelling, and community, let us uncover the lessons that can move us forward—on stage, in business, and life. A Few Key Takeaways Let’s step into the world of the March sisters and discover five unique lessons this immersive experience offers for dance, life, and business. 1. Site-Specific Storytelling: The Power of Place Unlike a traditional stage performance, the Little Women Ballet unfolds across the historic Victorian homes of Heritage Square. Each audience group is guided through the museum, experiencing intimate dance vignettes in different rooms and gardens. This site-specific approach transforms both the art and the audience, reminding us that our environment shapes our creativity and message1. Dance Life Parallel: Just as the dancers adapt to each unique space, we as artists and entrepreneurs must learn to thrive in ever-changing environments. Flexibility—both literal and figurative—is key to growth. 2. Resilience in the Face of Adversity The Little Women Ballet team faced a devastating setback when a fire destroyed their props, costumes, and decorations. Yet, with the support of their community, they rebuilt and returned stronger than ever1. Business Lesson: Setbacks are inevitable, but how we respond defines our journey. The ability to rebuild, reimagine, and reconnect with your mission is what sets successful ventures apart. 3. Personalization and Audience Engagement Every guest receives a colored ribbon matching one of the March sisters, guiding their route and narrator for the evening. This thoughtful touch personalizes the experience and deepens the audience’s connection to the story1. Entrepreneurial Insight: Personalization isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a strategy. Whether in dance, teaching, or business, tailoring experiences to your audience creates lasting impact and loyalty. 4. Celebrating Women’s Stories and Leadership Choreographer Emma Andres, just 26 years old, leads a cast ranging from ages 10 to 75, all donning handmade 19th-century costumes. This ballet is not only a tribute to Louisa May Alcott but also a movement to center women’s voices and stories in dance1. Life and Business Takeaway: Representation matters. Lifting up diverse voices and empowering the next generation of leaders—especially women—enriches our communities and industries. 5. Community and Collaboration The immersive experience concludes with Victorian folk dancing, inviting guests to join the cast, followed by a meet-and-greet and photos. This blurring of performer and audience fosters a sense of community and shared joy1. Dancepreneuring Mindset: Collaboration and community-building are at the heart of both artistic and entrepreneurial success. When we invite others to participate, we create something greater than ourselves. As I wandered the...

  • The Beauty of Ambiguity: In Search of an Exit

    The Beauty of Ambiguity: In Search of an Exit
    Jul 2 2025
    Not everything needs to make sense to be meaningful.

    In this episode of The DancePreneuring Studio, I invite you to step into the beauty of ambiguity with me as we explore the world of ‘In Search of an Exit’ by Steven Atwater and Thomas Ford. We’ll discover how embracing uncertainty, valuing diverse perspectives, and finding strength in both vulnerability and playfulness can inspire growth in dance, life, and business. Join me as we celebrate the power of small, supportive spaces and the creative freedom that comes from making your own meaning—on stage and beyond.

    A Few Key Takeaways
    1. Embrace uncertainty and ambiguity—allow yourself to make your own meaning from experiences, both in art and in life.
    2. Value diverse perspectives and stories, recognizing that each viewpoint adds richness to our understanding and growth.
    3. Use vulnerability and playfulness as strengths; they foster deeper connections and spark creativity, whether on stage or in business.
    4. Appreciate the power of small, supportive environments—intimate venues create space for genuine connection and community, fueling artistic and personal development.
    5. Remember that not everything needs to “make sense” to be valuable; sometimes, the most profound insights come from what is left open to interpretation.
    6. Recognize how dance dramatizes the search for identity and belonging, resonating with universal themes of otherness and self-discovery.
    7. Notice the impact of artistic choices, like unconventional staging, which invite both performers and audiences to reconsider their roles and perspectives.
    8. Celebrate playfulness and experimentation, understanding that humor, risk-taking, and creative exploration are essential for innovation and fulfillment in any field.
