This is “COLLISION” !

A visual podcast where dance, dialogue, and social media collide.

Collision exists for the next generation of artists.
Students.
Company dancers.
Freelancers.

This is about being better.
And doing better.

With each episode released on my YouTube channel, I sit down with eight powerful dance artists and choreographers.
Real stories.
Real tools.
Real pathways.

We talk about how they got here,
how they keep moving forward,
and what it really takes to survive and grow in today’s artistic climate.

These journeys aren’t just stories,
they’re blueprints.

And in contrast, and in collision with these conversations,
Bessie Award nominated artists
Joy Marie Thompson and Symana Sarai
take it to the streets.

Asking one question:
“Why is dance needed for humanity?”

Because dance transcends borders.
Cultures.
And communities.

This is “Collision”.

Thank you to everyone involved!
