Hello! Welcome to Dear Dance! My name is Haley, I'm a professional dancer living in NYC, and I know a TON of creative people. I'm a big believer that dance can be the thing you love most in life, but it can't BE your life. Not if you want to have a sustainable career. So who are you as a person outside of dance? What other passions help you fuel your creative spirit as a whole? What keeps you grounded as an artist? What do you do when the industry shuts down and there are no dance jobs...?

218 | Balancing Two Artistic Passions With Amar Smalls

Season 2 · Episode 31

Friday, November 11, 2022 • Duration 33:51

Hello Everyone!

I was so excited when Amar Smalls reached out about being on the podcast. He is so funny and extremely talented. We talked about his dance journey, how he ended up in Ailey 2 (so iconic), Jake the snake, his art collective BROKELAND, and how sometimes he feels like Hannah Montanna.

AMAR SMALLS (Brooklyn, NY) began his dance training at The Abrons Arts Center Henry Street Settlement in New York City. In 2017, he graduated from Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Arts and Performing Arts. He was a Scholarship and Independent Study student at The Ailey School and also trained at the Harlem School of the Arts and Steps on Broadway. At age 16, he started an art collective entitled BROKELAND, where artists create music, film, and paintings.

215 | Creating Creative Community with Shiloh Goodin and Sara Brians

Season 2 · Episode 28

Friday, October 21, 2022 • Duration 51:16

Hello Everyone!

Yay! First interview back after a while and it's a good one.

Shiloh Goodin and Sara Brians are theatre-makers and the co-founders of Collectus. With years of witnessing and living the hardship of the creative career, they formed Collectus to give artists a damn break from having to carry it all themselves. They create and run an immersive creative support groups called Pod that has been called "a game-changer," "creative therapy and think-tank combined," and "more powerful than I could have even hoped." Sara performed as a Rockette and has worked on six Broadway shows. She now directs and choreographs for live theatre, events and film and is a dance educator at several of the country's top theatre & dance schools. Sara is also obsessed with cycling and plants. Shiloh has performed and choreographed around the world in musical theatre, teaches at conservatories like AMDA and AADA, and is making her Broadway debut this year. She was trained early as a facilitator and community organizer through her years serving on the California Youth Council, designing and running statewide conferences for young activists and leaders. Together, Sara and Shiloh use their combined experience as directors, educators, facilitators and creatives to design true community support for creative people. So artists can go solo, but not alone.

Find Shiloh Goodin and Sara Brians on instagram at @joincollectus and their website www.joincollectus.com.
