It's the finale episode of Season 4!  It's going to be a bare bones episode again with no intro and no outro.  My voice recovered from strep, only to lose it again by teaching a clinic to forty-five Kindergarteners through 3rd graders.  I'm sure you all can relate.   It's a good thing that our guest on the podcast today holds enough sparkle that she doesn't need a flowery intro and outro!  I'm so excited to be chatting with Sarah Flisowski of Blinn College!

Barland Flisowski is a former member of the Blinn dance team and a graduate of Southwest Texas State University – now Texas State University – in San Marcos, Texas, with a degree in exercise sports science and minor in political science. She was also a member of the dance company Orchesis. She also earned her master's in physical education and health from Prairie View A&M University. Barland Flisowski started her teaching career at Mesquite ISD, where she taught for two years at Berry Middle school. She went on to Carrollton Farmers Branch ISD to become the director of the award-winning RL Turner Lionettes and dance department head. She was the director of the Lionettes for seven years before returning to Blinn as the head coach of the Blinn College dance and cheer teams. Barland Flisowski also is a 20-year staff member with American Dance and Drill Team School, where she has been the Novelty Staff Captain and Social Officer Coordinator.  Sarah has traveled to Florida as a member of ESP Productions, the halftime production company of the Citrus Bowl for over 10 years. She has been a speaker at Drill Team Directors of America and assisted with speaking at Texas Dance Educators Association. Sarah is a member of NDCA, National Dance Coaches Association where she is a Executive Board member, College Division Representative and on the Small College Committee. She has done choreography for high schools all around Texas and beyond and loves working with all dancers and helping them find their place in college dance.

This week on 5.6.7.EIGHT, Aleksandra interviews Charlotte Landreau, Lead Dancer at the Martha Graham Dance Company. Originally from France, Charlotte trained as a rhythmic gymnast for a full decade before transitioning into dance. She is a graduate of the Béjart School in Switzerland and the Martha Graham School.

It was so scary. And yet, so healthy. I just wanted to learn so much. It was an entire new world that I wanted to discover." “In order to promote more women in the arts, we really have to recognize the women that are already in power and are doing such an amazing job." “It is my responsibility to choose the mentor that I need. Depending on where I am in my career, my mentor will change." “I arrived in America without any friends or family. It was very stressful. But that was a challenge that I really wanted to take on."   Bullet Points (w/ timestamps) - Highlighting key topics discussed: 2:47: Charlotte discusses her work with the Martha Graham Dance Company and the pride she feels in dancing with the oldest dance company in America. 5:40: Charlotte retells her journey as a dance and how early work in rhythmic gymnastics taught her a lot about mental toughness, priming her for a dance career. 12:02: Landreau describes her mindset and emotions in leaving home at a young age to travel across the world with a dance company. 13:49: Charlotte shares some important advice on being mentally prepared for rejection. 17:00: Landreau explores the significance of mentors and how mentors have personally impacted her life. 19:32: Landreau, a world traveler, shares some advice for dancers on preparing for long flights, time zone changes, and other factors.  23:53: Charlotte speculates on changes to dance post-pandemic and gives her thoughts on one way that dance should change to stay relevant. 26:28: Landreau discusses the importance of women in dance and gives some ideas on how women should promote successful women leaders. 28:08: Charlotte discusses what’s next for her and explains her “go with the flow” attitude.   Bullet List of Resources –  Charlotte Landreau Personal Website Instagram LinkedIn   The Martha Graham Dance Company Company Website Instagram Facebook YouTube

They are used as a medium for prayer and each dance has its own significant meaning.
