Incredible conversations, not just for dance nerds!
This is such a phenomenal podcast, I look forward to each episode. First of all, the questions are on point—as in I often find myself saying “great question” out loud. They are a level beyond surface, and the research behind them combined with Alicia’s professional résumé I think really gets the guests to open up and enjoy the conversation in a magical way. It really makes the whole thing go. Also their variety, including broad questions from a unique perspective, to well researched tidbits that the guest has probably never been asked before, to really touching anecdotes of how Alicia saw the guest perform once upon a time and how impactful their art was to her life in that moment- very special range of discourse. The other thing that is special about this podcast is that it is approachable to an amateur fan like me, but gets into details of ballets or instructors that I’ve never heard of but I’m sure ring bells to people that are much deeper into the art. Not an easy balance! The convo stretches my knowledge while also surely being engaging for professionals. Even if you’ve never been to a performance, these artists share human stories that everyone should find engaging from the standpoint of persistence and achieving success. Now, the guests: crazy good! We are so lucky to be a fly on the wall to hear these caliber of artists share their stories. The guests all really open up and I’d bet each one loved sitting for their talk. One of the things I love most as I’m learning about dance is how much of a grind it is and how much work artists put into making it look beautiful to an audience. Hearing how these elite dancers approach their presentation is eye opening. Also, even though they all have wildly successful careers, learning about their setbacks, periods of uncertainty, and persistence is valuable whether you’re a fan of dance or not. The depth that these conversations achieve while still being entertaining is such a joy. Bottom line, A++ podcast. Do yourself a favor and consume every episode asap. Thanks so much to Alicia Graf Mack for this gift!!
