  • Ep7: Productivity, Challenges and Navigating Failure
    Aug 30 2022

    "Trusting the process" seems to be the buzzword these days ... Well, it is definitely easier said than done - we know! Letting go and surrendering to what life has planned is a process of learning within itself. In this episode, Bianca and Bronwyn discuss our all-time favourite... procrastination! We chat about how we can meander our way to productivity through taking action, and how to navigate its challenges by surrendering to the process. Sometimes all it takes is a slight change of perspective....

  • Ep6: Instagram: Friend or Foe?
    Aug 15 2022

    In this episode your hosts, Bianca Schulz and Bronwyn Craddock, tackle the ongoing debate of Instagram and the role it plays in our lives. Is it necessary to maintain a social media presence for our careers as performers? Or do the negative mental effects of it outweigh the pros? We discuss how we can create a healthier relationship with social media: how it can be helpful but also detrimental, and how can we find a balance.

  • Ep5 Part 1/2: Travel To Europe, They Said: Every Dancer’s Conflict
    Aug 5 2022

    After over a year being away from the microphone, Bianca and Bronwyn have a long overdue catch up. Whilst Bianca speaks from Europe, Bronwyn tunes in from South Africa. As young South African dancers, we are constantly fed the idea that, by travelling overseas and dancing in a European or American company, we will reach the epitome of success for our careers. Oh! And don’t forget that we “can’t dance past 35 so you have to get your career in NOW”. 

    In part one of this episode, we challenge this societal notion by exploring how the dance industry differs between the continents, how much potential South Africa’s creative flare holds, and why we should appreciate what South Africa has to offer. We discuss how these worlds collide, freelancing vs. full-time company life, the role that time - or the lack thereof - can play in our careers and how washing the dishes can be a form of meditation.

    In part two of this episode, we extend our conversation to the more philosophical and emotional sphere. We delve into the importance of following one’s intuition and the consequential ripple effects it can have on one’s life. We open up about how each of us have developed in the past year by discussing the relationships with our egos, non-violent communication and the importance of being fully present.
