Patricia Delgado: From Principal Ballerina to Tony Award Winner Growing up Cuban-American in Miami, Patricia Delgado found her love of performance early and spent seventeen years with Miami City Ballet, a decade of that as a principal dancer. But when she faced a series of injuries, she was forced to confront a question she wasn't ready to answer: what comes next? In this episode, Patricia opens up about the physical and emotional toll of stepping away from the only identity she had ever known, how she found her way into choreography alongside her husband Justin Peck, and what it meant to reconnect with her Cuban roots through the Broadway hit Buena Vista Social Club, leading her to be the first Latina to win a Tony Award for Best Choreography.

This week on the She Shield Podcast, Sofia and Lena Miculek switch things up for a more laid-back, reaction-style episode as they break down some of the most iconic female fight scenes in action movies and TV.From the brutal close-quarters fights of Atomic Blonde to the over-the-top gun handling in Resident Evil, the tactical chaos of Black Widow, and scenes from Ballerina, they dive into what actually makes sense… and what's pure Hollywood magic.The conversation covers everything from realistic weapon manipulations and reloads to hand-to-hand fighting, movement, tactics, and how cinematic storytelling changes the way action is portrayed on screen. Some scenes surprised them with how grounded they were. Others? Not so much.This episode is much more visual than usual, so if you want the full experience and to watch the clips along with the reactions, head over to the She Shield YouTube channel linked in the resources section. This one was all about having fun, breaking down action scenes through the lens of real-world training and competition experience, and opening the door for more episodes like this in the future.Episode Resources & Ways to Support the Show

Hoy La Órbita de Endor toca hablar de BALLERINA del universo de John Wick, un spin-off que nos presentó una película bastante más que digna que sirvió para continuar teniendo acción desenfrenada, filmada y montada con la mejor eficacia. Y es que esto es cine de acción de alta gama. Acción Premium, sí, señor. Con una Ana de Armas que no hacía exactamente las mismas cosas y con la misma contundencia que John Wick, pero a su manera mataba a un número de enemigos muy parecido. Junto a Albert Galdor PR17, Lord Pelayo y Antonio Runa, tendremos un festival de tiros, puñetazos, cuchilladas y persecuciones.

In this episode of The Brainy Ballerina Podcast, I'm joined by former professional dancer and writer Gavin Larsen and renowned dance photographer Gene Schiavone to discuss their collaborative book Infinite Steps: Thirty-Three Dancers and Their Lives in Ballet, a powerful collection that pairs intimate essays with striking photography.Together we explore how storytelling and imagery reveal the humanity behind ballet, the diverse paths dancers take, and the deeper purpose that sustains a life in dance.Key Points in this Episode: How Gene's original book idea evolved into a collaboration with Gavin to bring deeper storytelling to his photographs The beauty of preserving a dancer's fleeting career in photographs and essays The importance of showing the humanity behind the dancers The commonalities they saw between the dancers interviewed: a strong sense of purpose drives dancers more than external success, the daily work matters more than performance highs, and every career path is uniqueConnect with Gavin:WEBSITE: www.gavinlarsen.comINSTAGRAM: instagram.com/gavinalarsenEPISODE 62: The Truth About Being a Ballerina with Gavin Larsen Connect with Gene:WEBSITE: www.geneschiavone.comINSTAGRAM: instagram.com/geneschiavoneofficialGet your copy of Infinite Steps:AMAZON: https://amzn.to/4lUWSUS (affiliate link)UNIVERSITY PRESS OF FLORIDA: https://floridapress.org/9780813081502/infinite-steps/Links and Resources:Join the Brainy Ballerina Book ClubConnect with Chronicle StudioAPP: https://chroniclestudio.passion.io/INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/chronicle_cdt_studio/FACEBOOK: facebook.com/chronicleCDTstudioMORE INFO: allongefilms.com/chroniclestudio1-1 Career Mentoring: book your complimentary career callLet's connect!My WEBSITE: thebrainyballerina.comINSTAGRAM: instagram.com/thebrainyballerinaQuestions/comments?

„Stalino – Geschichten einer besetzten Stadt“ erzählt in fünf Episoden von der deutschen Besatzung der ukrainischen Stadt Donezk während des Zweiten Weltkrieg. Damals trug die Stadt den Namen des sowjetischen Diktators Joseph Stalin – Stalino. Ich begleite euch als Host durch den Podcast. Wir folgen fünf Menschen, die die deutsche Besatzung ganz unterschiedlich erleben – von einer Ballerina, die für die Deutschen tanzt, über den Bürgermeister, der im Auftrag der Deutschen die Stadtverwaltung umbaut, bis hin zu einem jüdischen Mädchen, das den Holocaust überlebt. Das Projekt wird in der Bildungsagenda NS-Unrecht von der Stiftung Erinnerung, Verantwortung und Zukunft (EVZ) und dem Bundesministerium der Finanzen (BMF) gefördert.

Season 6, Episode 719: From Stage to screen: Brandi Swan's Path into Professional Adult Entertainment. Brandi Swan's journey from theater stages to adult film sets is anything but ordinary. After years as a dancer, she discovered pole dancing, which eventually led her into adult entertainment—though not before she learned what "making it wink" meant during her very first audition (talk about a learning curve, yikes!). Now working with major studios, she's finding her preferences through experience, crediting co-star Jay Romero for making her comfortable during a successful first anal scene. Brandi has a Master's Degree in Theater and she loves dancing exotically and doing adult entertainment because 'she loves the thrill, the art of seduction, and the people she meets along the way." Beyond the bedroom, Brandi's navigating the demanding business side of adult entertainment. She recently graced the red carpet at both AVN and XBIZ events. At XBIZ in Los Angeles, she spent a week networking through panels and speed-dating events with agencies and directors—exhausting work that contrasts sharply with her previous theater career. She's setting boundaries (no hard hits to the face), embracing her submissive side, and planning to eventually transition from performing into directing and producing, bringing her film background to create more sophisticated adult content.

In our first edition of Meet the Founders, we meet Luana Lopes Lara, creator of Kalshi, a prediction markets startup that allows users to trade on the outcome of real-world events - from inflation and interest rates to elections and geopolitics.Kalshi drew attention for showing Zohran Mamdani as a favourite in the NYC mayoral race, as prediction markets gain traction as political barometers. But the wider industry has also faced scrutiny: a trader on rival platform Polymarket reportedly made nearly half a million dollars betting on the capture of Venezuela's former president Nicolás Maduro before it was announced. The controversy around prediction markets has placed Lopes Lara and her company at the centre of a growing regulatory and ethical debate in the US. In this episode, the Brazilian founder explains how the discipline and resilience of ballet has shaped her approach to building a business, and why she believes markets can often forecast the future better than experts.If you'd like to get in touch with the team, our email address is businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresenter: Sam Fenwick Producer: Amber Mehmood Sound mix: Toby JamesBusiness Daily is the home of in-depth audio journalism devoted to the world of money and work.

On today's episode of "Conversations On Dance" we are joined by American Ballet Theatre ballerina Zimmi Coker. Zimmi recounts how, as a former dance herself, her mother gently guided her through her initial training, how she fell in love with ABT and began to receive plum roles in major full length works, and, most harrowingly, how she overcame a devastating injury that had her pulling out of performances and in searing pain for more than a year and a half. Zimmi will be performing featured roles in ABT's upcoming seasons at the Koch Theater and the MET in New York City; follow her on instagram at @zimmy9 for further updates on her casting.

This movie is cool. And not just because the second half of it looks like it takes place in a snow globe. BALLERINA, a spin-off of JOHN WICK, stars Ana de Armas as a ballerina assassin, and the Film School Janitors might be in love. And this movie deserves more love. And flame throwers!

With over 15 years of experience, Josephine is one of the most influential and trusted pointe shoe fitters in the world.We dive deep into what actually makes a pointe shoe right (or wrong), why pain is not something dancers should push through, and how pointe shoe fitting is a dynamic, ever-changing process throughout a dancer's career.Josephine also breaks down virtual pointe shoe fittings, common misconceptions dancers have about their shoes, the real risks of dancing in dead shoes, and what dancers can do to advocate for themselves, especially when they don't yet have the language to describe what they're feeling.This conversation is equal parts educational, practical, and eye-opening, and it's a must-listen for dancers at every stage, as well as teachers and parents who want to support long-term dancer health.Key Points in this Episode: Josephine's path into pointe shoe fitting and building The Pointe Shop Why pointe shoe fitting is not a one-and-done process How virtual pointe shoe fittings work Common pointe shoe misconceptions dancers have The dangers of dancing in shoes that are too dead The truth about “cheater shoes” and synthetic pointe shoes What dancers should track to advocate for themselves long-termConnect with Josephine:WEBSITE: thepointeshop.comINSTAGRAM: instagram.com/thepointeshopINSTAGRAM: instagram.com/josephineyleeLinks and Resources:1-1 Career Mentoring: book your complimentary career callGet 20% off your first order of ALOHA protein bars: https://aloha.com/BRAINYBALLERINALet's connect!My WEBSITE: thebrainyballerina.comINSTAGRAM: instagram.com/thebrainyballerinaQuestions/comments?

Misty Copeland broke barriers in 2015 when she became the first Black woman to be named Principal Ballerina at the American Ballet Theatre. She didn't begin dancing until she was 13—and once she found ballet, she leapt fearlessly into her future. Now, Misty is opening doors for girls who never saw themselves represented in ballet, proving that talent, passion, and courage—not background—determine who belongs on stage.

In our first Munchies' choice episode back from the break, we were gifted a delightful stunt-cast-isode featuring one of the true titans of stage and screen. Yes folks, this SVU features none other than the modern voice of Shaggy Rogers himself, Matthew Lillard, in a, how shall we say, difficult role for him opposite some nobody casting pulled in off the street named Carol Burnett. We also see not Judge Al Bertuccio get defenestrated into a parked car, Fin casually dropping slang from the 1930's into conversation, and the writers' room creating new ethnic slurs from scratch. This one gets a hearty recommendation.

Welcome back to Not A Bomb! —the podcast where we resurrect cinema's most infamous box office disasters and ask the burning question: was it really that bad? We're celebrating five years of cinematic redemption.The “celebration” of 2025's biggest cinematic misfires rolls on, and this week, Troy and Brad pirouette into the bullet-riddled ballet that is Ballerina. Set in the ever-expanding World of John Wick, this spin-off tries desperately to remind you that, yes, the John Wick franchise is still very cool, very successful, and very much alive—even if this particular entry feels like it's limping to the finish line in high heels.Ballerina stars Ana de Armas as Eve, a vengeance-fueled assassin with a tragic backstory and a penchant for pirouettes and pistol-whipping. The film's marketing promised a sleek, stylish detour into Wick's world, but what audiences got was a muddled mix of lore-dumping, recycled set pieces, and storytelling that felt like it was choreographed by committee.Troy and Brad dive deep into the film's long and winding production history, including the last-minute call to bring in franchise godfather Chad Stahelski to punch up the action. Is Ballerina a misunderstood gem or just a misstep in an otherwise bulletproof franchise? Tune in as they dissect the good, the bad, and the ballet of it all—and decide whether Ballerina deserves a second dance or a swift exit stage left.From the world of John Wick: Ballerina is directed by Len Wiseman and stars Ana de Armas, Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, Lance Reddick, Norman Reedus, Ian McShane, and Keanu Reeves.To celebrate the last 25 years of film, the Not A Bomb podcast is compiling a Top 25 list from the Not A Bomb community. If you would like to submit your own list, please use this form to enter your 25 choices. For a film to be eligible, it must have been released between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2025.
