In this warm and candid episode, I chat with Toby Lewellen about his path from reluctantly signing up for ballet class as a child to spending 11 years as a leading artist at Ballet Arkansas.Though he originally saw it as a stepping stone, Toby stayed for over a decade, drawn in by the community, repertoire, and opportunity to dance featured roles. He shares behind-the-scenes stories about partnering with his wife onstage, why being an ugly stepsister in Cinderella was a career highlight, and what led to his graceful transition out of performing after an injury.Now in a new chapter at Boca Ballet Theatre, Toby discusses his role as Director of Development, the challenges and rewards of teaching, and the unique structure of Boca's summer intensive—where dancers gain rare, extended access to top company directors.Key Topics:✨Toby's training at Peoria Ballet, Grand Valley State University, and Butler University✨Joining a company with just three dancers (!), and being part of its growth over the course of his professional career✨The realities and rewards of dancing in a small company✨The importance of mental health and community in a dancer's career✨The unique programming Toby is a part of at Boca Ballet including their summer intensive and college dance fairConnect with Toby:INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/tobias3651BOCA BALLET WEBSITE: bocaballet.orgBOCA BALLET INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/bocaballetEMAIL TOBY: tlewellen@bocaballet.orgLinks and Resources:Get your copy of The Intentional Career HandbookSet up ticketing for your next event with DRT (Make sure to mention that The Brainy Ballerina sent you!)1-1 Career Mentoring: book your complimentary career callLet's connect!My WEBSITE: thebrainyballerina.comINSTAGRAM: instagram.com/thebrainyballerinaQuestions/comments?

If you're a regular listener then you most likely know who Melisse Brunet is. I had wonderful conversations with her in my August 15 and October 24 episodes. If you are not familiar, I suggest listening to these episodes because she is fantastic--a Paris-born native of France who became a U.S. citizen last winter, Melisse conducts the Northeastern Philharmonic as well as the Lexington, KY Philharmonic and guest lectures across the country at various colleges and universities. She was heavily featured in the documentary Maestra and is purely delightful, hopeful and inspirational. Well yesterday afternoon I attended the Philharmonic's Holiday Pops concert that included singers from Wilkes University, Marywood University and the Choral Society of NEPA as well as musicians from the Valenches Music Company and dancers from the Ballet Theatre of Scranton and it did not disappoint. The performances were as sparkling and magnificent as the suit that Melisse was wearing (visit my Instagram RealFunny_Wine_Girl_Jeannine to see). Melisse conducted with such a fun, playful and joyful style that I was smiling through the whole concert. She is absolute fun and pizazz. I wanted to share my thoughts so I recorded this Sunday evening after I left the concert. I hope you'll support local arts in NEPA or wherever you live because it really does fill our hearts and connect us in ways that are vital to our humanness---to show one another kindness, empathy and love!

Hometown Radio 03/23/23 3p: Ballet Theatre of SLO prepares for "Hunchback"

A Duluth man appeared before a federal judge on Monday and admitted his guilt in participating in the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. John David Ross Gould agreed to the plea agreement — in which he would plead guilty to parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building — with prosecutors on November 30 before formally entering it this week, according to court documents. Gould is accused of entering the Capitol with other rioters while Congress was meeting to certify the Electoral College votes, which would make Joe Biden president. Rioters had attended a rally with former President Donald Trump, who lost to Biden in the 2020 election and claimed it was the result of fraud, before they marched to the Capitol. Gould left Trump's rally and walked to the Capitol, where he entered the Senate Wing door on the afternoon of January 6, 2021, according to the statement of offense. He then walked into the Capitol Crypt. A line of police officers tried to prohibit people gathering in the crypt from going any further, but the crowd pushed past them. The statement of offense says Gould then went to the Small house Rotunda and then upstairs to Statuary Hall and into a connector outside the House of Representatives chamber. He admitted to watching a group of rioters try to force their way into the House chamber before going down a hallway and entering the Rayburn Reception Room, where he took a selfie in a mirror. Federal officials previously said Gould allegedly sent the selfie to a co-worker with a text message that read, "Can you see me in the mirror?" He left the Capitol 39 minutes after he entered it. Gould is scheduled to be sentenced in federal court on April 28, 2023. He faces up to six months in prison, up to five years on probation, a fine of up to $5,000 and an obligation to interest or penalties fines or restitution that is not made in a timely manner, according to the plea agreement.   Every interception Hayden Clark throws is painful. The 6-foot-1, 205-pounder can recount each interception from his junior season and what happened on each play, from one pass that he forced to one where he didn't see the safety roll over to another that bounced off a running back's hands. Thankfully, the anguish has been rare during the Hawks' run to Saturday's Class AAAAAAA state championship game against Carrollton at Georgia State. His recollection of this season's mistakes — make that mistake — is more brief. Clark has thrown just one interception in 269 pass attempts this season. The quarterback's ball security is certainly noteworthy, but it's only a small part of what he means to a high-powered Mill Creek offense that averages 45.9 points. He has completed 161 of those 269 passes for 2,142 yards and 24 touchdowns, and has shown the mobility to rush for 303 yards and three more TDs. In last Friday's 48-14 win over Milton in the state semifinals, he completed 7 of 8 passes for 143 yards and two TDs, along with a 10-yard rushing TD, to kick start the rout before leaving with a minor injury. He broke the school career record for passing TDs in that victory with his 51st. The Mill Creek coaches ask plenty from Clark, now seasoned in his third year as a starter. He spreads the ball around to a variety of receivers — 15 Hawks have caught passes — makes quick decisions in his team's busy RPO-or Run Pass Option-game. As the Mill Creek wins and Clark's highlights pile up, the interest from college recruiters has picked up, though Coach Josh Lovelady admits to frustration that colleges didn't give Clark more attention earlier in the process. Clark said recruitment is “going okay,” and that West Georgia is one of the schools he talks with regularly.   David Pierce Sr. can still recall the first fire station — if you can call it a fire station — that Suwanee used when it formed its old volunteer fire department in 1953. It was, in reality, a barn with a dirt floor, although it gets called a garage to make it sound a bit swankier. It was more of a place that a ember of the City Council offered as a spot to park Suwanee's fire engine when it wasn't being used than it was anything remotely resembling modern day fire stations. And, Pierce — who is now a spry 90 years old — would know all about the structure and the challenges that the Suwanee Volunteer Fire Department had in using it. He was that department's first fire chief after all. The old Suwanee Volunteer Fire Department is long since gone, having been merged into Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services in 1981, but a fire station has remained in the city since that time. Pierce got to see a new fire station for Suwanee on Monday morning — that was very different from the old barn — during the ribbon cutting for the new 10,788-square-foot Fire Station 13 building at the corner of Main Street and Suwanee Dam Road. The $7.8 million special purpose local option sales tax-funded facility replaces the old Fire Station 13, which was turned into StillFire Brewing a few years ago. Although the old Fire Station 13 building closed a few years ago, the lack of a building did not stop its crews from during their job. In 2021, Fire Station 13's crews responded to 2,322 calls. They serve 29,330 residents and are assigned to protect a 25.03-square-mile area. A Dacula resident who attends the University of Georgia has been nominated by U.S. Representative Jody Hice to attend the U.S. Military Academy — or the U.S. Naval Academy or even the U.S. Air Force Academy. Hice's office announced that the congressman nominated Benjamin Cook for the Military, Naval and Air Force academies. Cook is one of 22 students from the 10th Congressional District who received service academy nominations this week. A nomination from a sitting member of the U.S. House of Representatives or the U.S. Senate is one of the items needed to be considered for an appointment to a service academy. Of the 22 students who received nominations from Hice, nine of them were nominated for more than one academy. Six of the students in that group  — including Cook — were nominated for three academies. Buford placed first and Mill Creek took second after Saturday's final session of the Southern Slam, giving Gwinnett a 1-2 finish in a tournament stacked with top wrestlers and 38 teams. Buford put up 235 points and Mill Creek's runner-up total was 207.5. Archer was 15th at 87. Maddox McArthur and Drew Gorman were individual champions for Buford. McArthur won at 132 pounds with a 3-1 decision in the finals over Eastside South Carolina wrestler Colt Schrader. Gorman pinned Mill Creek's Amantee Mills at 1 minute, 57 seconds in the 138-pound finals. The Wolves' D.J. Clarke Kieron McCormack and Gavin Pope had runner-up finishes, Rylan Ibold and Aaron Riner were third and Grayson Santee (170) finished fourth. The Hawks' other placers in the top six were Amantee Mills Jaheim Mills Teequavius Mills John Boratyn), Aaron Garcia Banks Bitterman) and Blue Stiffler. Archer's Sam Rwibuka was the champion at 285 after defeating Jeremiah Jackson of High Point Academy of South Carolina 9-3 in the finals. Teammate Max Hennebaul was sixth at 106. The Gwinnett County Chamber of Commerce is among the top 1% of chambers in the nation when it comes to business practices, according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The Gwinnett Chamber recently received five-star accreditation from the U.S. Chamber. It's the highest designation a chamber can receive and this is the first time Gwinnett's chamber has received it. Only 201 of the more than 7,000 chambers of commerce in the U.S. have achieved five-star accreditation, according to Gwinnett officials. Gwinnett Chamber officials said the accreditation recognizes "sound policies, effective procedures and positive impact on the community." The chamber had to go through a six-month process and complete an application that is more than 200 pages long in order to achieve five-star accreditation. It had to show it met standards in communications, finance, governance, facilities, human resources, program development, technology, benchmarking and government affairs. #GwinnettDailyPost #Georgia #LocalNews        --          -         -          The Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast is local news for Lawrenceville, Norcross, Duluth, and all of Gwinnett County. Register Here for your essential digital news.             This podcast was produced and published for the Gwinnett Daily Post and GwinnettDailyPost.com by BG Ad Group    For advertising inquiries, please email j.southerland@bgadgroup.com For more information be sure to visit www.bgpodcastnetwork.com   https://www.lawrencevillega.org/  https://www.foxtheatre.org/  https://guideinc.org/  https://www.psponline.com/  https://www.kiamallofga.com/  https://www.milb.com/gwinnett  https://www.fernbankmuseum.org/         See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
