On this week's episode, our guest is Jennifer Turner, former dancer and founder of Gemini, a branding studio and educational platform for female entrepreneurs that marries voice and visuals, writing and design, for more meaningful, memorable brands.

So, she jetéd from ballet to university, where writing became her creative outlet and eventually, her career. She’s written the copy for over 150 websites and collaborated on more than 200 brands, from as far as Tanzania and the Caribbean to her own backyard on the West Coast of Canada.

31 - Darius Barnes

Wednesday, September 30, 2020 • Duration 01:59:20

On this week's episode, our guest is acclaimed Broadway performer Darius Barnes, former dancer with the New York City Ballet, Suzanne Farrell Ballet, and Dance Theater of Harlem!

In addition to performing in Mean Girls on Broadway, Darius has appeared in the 2019 Broadway revival of Kiss Me Kate, made his Broadway & Principal debut in the Tony Award-winning musical, Memphis, and has been seen in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark, and Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella, to name a few.

Darius is an accomplished choreographer—currently assistant choreographer on the Michael Jackson Musical developmental labs--and alumnus of the New York Choreographic Institute. In 2010, he was invited to choreograph a piece for the New York City Ballet.

On top of his impressive resume of experience within the classical ballet community, and his credits in Broadway and Off-Broadway productions, Darius has also branched out into working as a producer.

We are so thrilled to have him on the show today to discuss his journey from Baltimore School of the Arts, to SAB, NYCB, the Suzanne Farrell Ballet, DTH, Broadway, and beyond!

22 - Jess Spinner, founder of The Whole Dancer

Wednesday, July 1, 2020 • Duration 01:20:08

On this week’s episode (recorded May 27th 2020), we welcome Jess Spinner, former professional ballet dancer turned Health Coach and founder of The Whole Dancer. She supports dancers in reaching their body goals through one on one coaching and her online course, The Dancers' Best Body Program.

Tune in to hear Margaret and Jess discuss:

· The concept of “bioindividuality” and the dangers of a “one-diet-fits-all” approach to nutrition

· Audition season tips and how adopting more of a “business mentality” can help you manage stress and improve your performance

· The benefits of being less negative and critical of others and of yourself, and how you can retrain yourself to maintain this better attitude and improved internal monologue

As we look ahead to (hopefully soon!) getting back into the studio to continue pursuing whatever our individual dancing goals may be, it’s a comfort to know that resources like Jess and The Whole Dancer are now available like never before to dancers who want to improve their mental and physical resilience, better their self-talk, and reach their fullest potential as artists and people.

Wednesday, June 24, 2020 • Duration 01:01:42

On this week’s episode, recorded April 21st 2020, we are pleased to welcome Tamisha Guy. Tamisha is a native of Trinidad and Tobago, and came with her family to the United States when she was eight years old. She was named one of Dance Europe’s Best Dancers of the Year in 2017, was featured in the segment “Spotlight on Success” in Dance Informa Magazine, and in 2016 she made Dance Magazine’ Top 25 To Watch list as well as winning the 2016 Princess Grace Award.

Tamisha has danced for the Martha Graham Dance Company and is currently a member of Kyle Abraham’s company Abraham In Motion. She is one of the most exciting, acclaimed contemporary dancers working today and we are so excited to have her on the show to talk about:

Why she took a gap year before going to SUNY Purchase (and how she used her time away from dance)
The importance of managing your personal finances and not getting bogged down by the “starving artist mentality”
The joys of collaborating with choreographers to create meaningful, fulfilling work

20 - Kathleen McGuire Gaines, Founder of Minding the Gap

Wednesday, June 17, 2020 • Duration 01:07:51

On this week’s episode (recorded May 5th, 2020), we’re pleased to welcome Kathleen McGuire Gaines—former dancer, and since 2014 a contributing writer to Dance Magazine. Over the last 10 years, Kathleen has written more than 100 articles on dance for Dance Magazine, Pointe, Dance Spirit, and Dance Teacher magazines, including Why are we still so bad at addressing dancers' mental health, which went viral in 2017. Kathleen is the founder of Minding the Gap, whose mission it is to disrupt dancer culture to value the importance of mental health through advocacy, research, and eventually, resources and solutions. Her ambition is to enact a movement which results in mental health being regarded with the same seriousness as physical health in dance culture. Join us for this latest in an ongoing series on dancer mental health and hear Margaret and Kathleen discuss, among other topics: the results of a survey on dancer's top mental health concerns (eating disorders aren't even in the top three!) why it's in the dance world's best interest to change its culture around mental health for the better, including some interesting statistics about just who it is that makes up the majority of dance audiences ways that dance companies and management can better serve their artists' mental health needs without breaking their budgets --- For more information, as well as any links, see the blog post for this episode: https://www.margaretmullin.com/episodes/episode-20-mcguire-gaines Follow Kathleen McGuire Gaines and Minding the Gap: https://www.instagram.com/we.are.minding Follow Beyond The Barre: https://www.instagram.com/beyondthebarrepodcast/ Host: Margaret Mullin http://www.margaretmullin.com/ https://www.instagram.com/margaretmullin/ Producer: Sarena Fishman Jimenez http://www.sarenafishman.com/ http://instagram.com/sarenafishman Music: William Lin-Yee https://soundcloud.com/williamlinyee

18 - Josh Spell: Mental Health and Self-Discovery During Crisis

Wednesday, May 27, 2020 • Duration 01:13:24

On this week’s episode, join us for another discussion about dancer mental health with Josh Spell—former dancer (Pacific Northwest Ballet and Kansas City Ballet), licensed social worker, and Primary Therapist with Opal Food + Body Wisdom in Seattle, WA.

As we tackle another week of learning to navigate this “new normal” of the world in varying stages of lockdown, Margaret invites Josh onto the show as a professional in the field of mental health to shares some wisdom about:

· ways of looking at one’s at-home dance class and fitness regimens that avoid guilt and shame (hint: you’re not a bad person if you don’t feel like taking class today…)

· how we can stay centered using the “art of non-productivity”

· how to be at peace with your body as it changes

· how to open yourself up to the possibility of self-discovery by acknowledging pain, rather than resisting it

· finding ways to “cross-train” our brain and take care of our mental health, just as we strengthen the other muscles of our body
