Podcasts about dance teaching

We grow up with an idealistic , romanticized view of ballerinas, but Lo is taking you backstage with Lucy Ashe to spill some tea. Lucy Ashe trained at The Royal Ballet School for 8 years. She has a diploma in Dance Teaching with the British Ballet Organization. She is a former professional dancer and best selling author who has taken the literary world by storm with her unsettling thriller Clara $ Olivia: The Dance Of The Dolls, a clever glimpse into the world of ballet. Her newest novel "The Sleeping Beauties" was just released. Lo speaks to her about the creative process, writer's block and the up's and down's of industry rejection turning into success. She speaks candidly with Lo about the difficulties she experienced with her mental health and body image living life as a dancer. She is insightful, vulnerable, honest and remains grounded which makes for a great convo that will take you into a world Lo is so curious about.

Hello! We're back from our summer recess which means we have more episodes to come for the rest of the 2024 year!For today's episode, Hannah sits down with Austin, Texas filmmaker Maggie Bailey, discussing her 2022 dance documentary, Moving Together. This particular doc is something I myself (Hannah), have not seen in the dance documentary mode. What made this movie really stand out from others is that the story blends a soothing balance of cinematic movement that we commonly see in screendance, but then pairing those vignettes with gentle interview voiceover. Overall, Maggie guides viewers on a weaving journey between the relationship of music and dance through the lens of 6 collaborators who approach the art form in their own way.In this interview, we learn about Maggie's technical process for making Moving Together and dive into some of the elements that make this movie extra special. –Moving Together loglineMoving Together explores the intimacy of collaboration between musicians and dancers in Flamenco, Modern, and New Orleans Second Line in both performance and class environments. As artists, we collaborate with other disciplines consistently, but what pulls us back to specific people for collaboration? 
This feature length, performative documentary investigates the relationships between Michael Wall, modern dance accompanist and composer, and Jesse Zaritt, dancer and choreographer; Olivia and Isai Chacon, a Flamenco dancer and Spanish guitarist; and New Orleans natives Michelle N. Gibson, cultural ambassador, choreographer, performer, and Thaddeus Ford, sixth generation Trumpet player. –Follow and get in touch with Maggie Baileywww.maggiembailey.com@maggiembailey @movingtogetherfilm– Got a question?

Carving time out to create your own work can be a bit difficult and sometimes it's intimidating to start. As Frameform goes into the summer break, we are offering creative prompts designed to help you practice creating dance films on a regular basis. These are not recipes for masterpieces, rather ideas to help you break out of familiar patterns and discover new and interesting ideas for future work regardless of budget or technical familiarity.Happy creating!–4:01- Prompt 15:28- Prompt 27:10- Prompt 38:26- Prompt 49:33- Prompt 5 This episode has been transcribed for your reading pleasure.

Frameform is thrilled to collaborate with Cinedans on several episodes to commemorate the 20th edition of the Amsterdam-based festival which took place in late March 2024. Through its adventurous film programming along with its substantial professional development program, Cinedans has established itself as a destination event for anyone interested in dance film and welcomes artists from around the world to its in-person event. Cinedans celebrated its bidecennial (yes, we looked that up) with a five day jam packed event filled with film screenings, meetings, and presentations . One of these presentations was a masterclass given by Iranian-Canadian musician and film director Kavah Nabatian, who also served on the jury of the event. The episode contains a short recording from this masterclass.http://kavehnabatian.com/films/Kite Zo A trailerhttps://vimeo.com/kavehnabatian/kitezoatrailerKaveh's film “Kite Zo A- Leave The Bones” -a docu screendance that takes a powerful and dynamic journey through Haitian history and culture-was presented in association with the three stated themes of Cinedans' 2024 event, “Resistance, Resilience & Freedom”. “Grief & Reconciling the Past”, and “Rituals & Healing”. These themes coalesced in a dedicated program called “Breaking the Chains” highlighting films with postcolonial themes from different countries and historical perspectives, portraying ancestral rituals, struggles for independence, spirituality and the persistent pervasive effects of slavery.The program opened with a ceremonial invocation and was followed by a Q&A with Christian Guerematchi (“CRNI TITO- Blaq Tito Addressing the Parliament of Ghosts”) along with Gabri Christa, Honore Van Ommoren and Steven Elbers from the film Kankantri-The Silk Cotton Tree, which premiere in the program. https://christianguerematchi.comCRNI TITO trailerhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b4Jsz5aOOs8Kankantri film pagehttps://www.gabrichrista.com/work/kankantriCheck out our Frameform Patreon page to access resources we have released and have coming up this summer.

Through its adventurous film programming along with its substantial professional development program, Cinedans has established itself as a destination event for anyone interested in dance film and welcomes artists from around the world to its in-person event. This year's edition of the festival featured a “Best of” segment where audience's could view the most popular films from the previous two decades, including three films from Iranian dance artist Tanin TorabiIf you've attended any dance film event in the last few years, you have likely seen the hypnotic film The Dérive which features Tanin moving through a Bazaar in Tehran, the capital city of Iran where dance has been banned since the country's revolution in the late 1970s. Tanin has since created two films set in Tehran, “In Plain Sight” and “Until”, the latter of which was created in the midst of the Woman Life Freedom protests in response to the murder of Mahsa Amini by Iran's morality police.Clare had the opportunity to speak with Tanin in person at Cinedans 2024, and only a few hours after this conversation took place, “Until” was awarded the Jury Award at Cinedans for Best Dance Short.Check out our Frameform Patreon page to access resources we have released and have coming up this summer.https://cinedans.nl/https://tanintorabi.art/

Lighting plays a large role in cinematography. In one scenario, light is a tool to just visually see images. While in other cases, light sculpts the features in a space – illuminating the curvatures of people's bodies, faces, sharp edges on buildings and furniture. Lack of light creates deep undertones such as darkness, evil, mystery, and secrecy while heightening other attributes to a film, like sound and emotion. In all, light is not just a necessity or a need– it's a tool that serves more purpose than one thinks.  In this episode, we'll be taking a look at a few handful films that exhibit great examples of integrated lighting as a character. These films use lighting methodically, whether it be elongated shadows, different colored lighting, or even lack of visibility inside a dimly lit landscape. Consider a more thought out lighting set-up for your next film, but listen to this episode first to gather up some ideas. -- Highlighted Dancefilms/Screendances:Cornered Dir.

Today's episode is part one of our “Dancine-Docs” series in collaboration with Dancinema, specifically the 2022 Capitol Dance & Cinema Festival in Washington, DC.We're connecting with Mimmo Miccolis and Carola Mamberto on their dance and documentary works that celebrate Italian arts and culture. First, we discuss the short documentary “Miccolis” which covers the story of how Mimmo grew from a boy in rural Italy with a passion for dance to a worldwide success and creative force in the ballet world. Much of Mimmo's works are focused on social justice issues and can be explored on his website. He is currently a faculty member at the school and choreographer for the Washington Ballet in DC.Next, we dive into “Magnifica”. Based on the works of Goldschmied & Chiari, and commissioned by the Italian Cultural Society of DC, “Magnifica” exists in many forms. We discuss the live performance, “making of” documentary, and the short screendance that brings new form and life to the signature smoke and mirror artworks of Goldschmied & Chiari. Learn and Explore More: Mimmo MiccolisWebsite | Social @mimmo_miccolis_officialCarola MambertoWebsite | Social @carola.mamberto The Washington Ballet Website | Social @thewashingtonballetItalian Cultural Society of DCWebsite | Social @italian.cultural.society Goldschmied & Chiari @goldschmied_chiari Watch the Dancine-DocsMiccolis Doc PreviewMaking of Magnifica PreviewMaking of Magnifica Full DocMagnifica Full Screendance -Submit to Dancinema for the opportunity to be part of the online program, or screen as part of a theatrical event in Washington, DC and/or Vancouver, BC.DancinemaWatch On Demand  / Submit / Social @jenraydancinemaCASCADIA Dance & Cinema Festival (Vancouver, BC)Submit / Website / Social @cascadiadcfestivalCAPITOL Dance & Cinema Festival (Washington, DC)Submit / Website / Social @capitoldcfestival-Check out our Frameform Patreon page for 6 awesome resources we released over the past few months ranging from Technical Tips for Video Editing by Hannah, a visual guide to all things Frameform by Jen Ray, a Zine by Clare, and more.

In today's episode, we welcome Lolly, a friend of the podcast and Dancinema collaborator. Dancefilm is a special mode of expression and calls for a different approach of reception. Lolly has been our liaison, guiding us to consider screendances – the way we view, feel, and discuss them – from a new perspective. Lolly's various projects intersect art, dance and somatic coaching. At Dancinema's festivals for a few years now, Lolly has led somatic meditations before screenings to help us transition from the buzzing of the outside world into a clearer mind and body space to actively receive the projects on screen. The results have been increased kinesthetic empathy and more lively, reflective conversations to follow each screening. All of us on the podcast have experienced it for ourselves, and we want to share a version of it for you at home through the podcast. Jump to 38:50  for our Somatic Meditation to play before you watch your next dancefilm, or just as a system reset whenever you need it. Mentioned in this episode: Audience as Community: Corporeal Knowledge and Empathetic Viewing - Research Essay by Karen Wood Cold Storage (2016)Dir.

This episode is full of COLOR. Maybe not every color of the rainbow, but do they look very pleasing to the eye. Today's keyword for this episode will be ‘aesthetic' which is definitely the first thing that comes to my mind while watching these 3 picks.Red, yellow, green, blue, and so on can emphasize many different moods. If you're someone with synesthesia, you absolutely know the feeling of what color does to the brain when you are either listening to music or reading a story. It wasn't until 1939 when Technicolor perfected the 3 color process making its big debut in MGM's The Wizard of Oz, making it a normal thing having everything we capture and watch in a full color spectrum. Today, color is used in film to heighten the tone of a story. We associate monochromatic colors with dramas and thrillers, while saturated palettes are most often seen in comedies and stylized sets. In post production, color is seriously pushed to the boundaries with its “looks” while going above and beyond with color keying green screens, or perhaps changing the hue of someone's shirt. When they say to color outside the lines, colorists took that saying to heart.In this episode we'll be examining films that demonstrate color that satisfies our eyeballs. We question what the color means to the film and why it works. At the end of the show, Hannah lays down some key tips for correcting and grading films.–FILMSFEELINGS (2022) - FranceDir.

If you thought we were done with location scout episodes, boy you are incorrect. We still have a few in our back pocket! We're going into the deep deep forest to ground our roots in what nature has to offer in this episode. Let's be real. Dance films taking place in the woods is a hard production. Most we've personally seen or made are not the strongest works. To be honest, forest films have a lot of limitations. To feel totally immersed, you have to take your gear and crew far away from battery supply. Available light and weather is questionable. The dangers of poisonous plants, sharp objects, wildlife, and land preservation are a few other curveballs you may face if you plan to make a film in this environment.But what is it about the woods that makes it so desirable to shoot in? Is it the feeling of being wild and free? Is it the mystical wonder that creates curiosity? Or is the land a symbol of something way bigger that only history can tell.We'll be looking at 3 very different films that highlight the forest with 3 contrasting personalities. They exhibit the forest floor beyond a backdrop, but a character in the space. You definitely need to watch as you listen, or you may miss the feeling mist and fresh air against your face.–FILMSGrief (2022) - FranceDir.

You're probably reading the title of this episode and thinking “site-specific choreography? Aren't most screendances site-specific?” You are certainly right, listener! You must be a screendance fan!As you know, site-specific episodes have been a recurring topic on the show. As we've segmented the dropped pins over the years, we've built an understanding of what the director may be conveying through movement within the landscape. The camera allows dance audiences to go on a journey that they may not be able explore on a live proscenium stage. The beauty of these films is that they push the boundaries of what these spaces can do. Art is experimentation and experimentation allows curiosity to run wild, and yet make all sense with it in the end.In this episode, we'll be picking apart the art of creating a site-specific dance film including many questions going from the very start of location scouting– Why do you want to create a film in/on/around this location? What is the significance of this space? What can you create in this space and what are your limitations? How do you want viewers to see and understand this environment? Along with all of that, we drop some useful advice that may help future makers well prepared for their next big film shoot.

In this episode, we are highlighting the wonderful Jennifer Scully-Thurston, also known as Rogue Dancer.  Frameform listeners may already know this friend of the podcast and fellow panelist at last year's Screendance Symposium. Enjoy this conversation with Scully and Jen Ray including experiences producing  festivals online and in person, creative approaches to curation and the pursuit of solutions instead of obstacles.  Jennifer Scully-Thurston (Scully) is a choreographer, dance filmmaker, curator, journalist, and video installation artist. She is founder and director of FilmFest by Rogue Dancer, a monthly thematic on-line event devoted to dance. She has curated and adjudicated for EnCore: Dance on Film, James River Film Festival, and Screen Dance International.Her dance films have been featured in Core Dance presents… REEL ART (commission), ADF Movies by Movers, Golden Earth Film Award (Best Female Director 2021), Direct Monthly Online Film Festival (Best Female Director 2019), DepicT! (Special Mention), and numerous other prestigious international festivals. She has been an administrator with Grasshorse (character animation studio), HOU & ATL Core Dance (performance company), and NC Arts in Action (in-school public dance program) and is currently Manager of Studio Programs and Community Engagement at the American Dance Festival.More about Rogue Dancer: We believe dance exists outside the walls of a proscenium stage.  It can exist in the wild with mischievous playfulness.  A person or organization can create work anywhere that wanders and behaves in unusual ways.  The creation and presentation of Dance Film is a great representation of these ideas.  We are dancers who have gone off grid to create work in our own way, with our own rules.–Thank you to Scully for being our first ever Frameform Fan and all of the wonderful support and engagement over the years. We are thrilled to share about your dynamic body of work and we're looking forward to having Frameform be part of ADF's Movies by Movers this season!–Listen to Season 3 Screendance Symposium Panel EpisodeWatch and Submit to FilmFest By Rogue DancerBecome a Rogue Dancer Patreon SupporterAmerican Dance Festival's Movies By Movers Follow on IG @roguedance @amerdancefest –Got a question?

This week, Clare speaks with Samantha Shay, a multidisciplinary artist and founder of the international production company Source Material, who is currently in residence at Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch. Samantha outlines her unique path to dance film and shines a light on her research and engagement with Pina Bausch's work. She also discusses the process (and some funny anecdotes) of the creation of her film Mother Melancholia, a film that approaches patriarchal politics and eco-feminism through an unguarded, unsettlingly beautiful meditation.Mother Melancholia continues its festival run along with Samantha's newest work, Romance. This film is another collaboration with dancers from Tanztheater Wuppertal and will premiere at Cinedans in late March. This episode is a part of a series in collaboration with Dance Camera West, featuring interviews with 4 selected filmmakers who were screening at this year's 2023 fest.–Watch the Mother Melancholia TrailerFollow Samantha Shay on IGFollow Dance Camera West–Got a question?

*CONTAINS SPOILERS* We've made it to the annual Beyond Spectacle episode which means our feature presentation today is our last viewing of the year. But before we wrap up on season 3 of Frameform, we're screening Anna Rose Holmer's 2015 indie feature, “The Fits.” A story taken place outside of Cincinnati, Ohio following 11-year-old Toni, a tomboy who struggles to fit into her new dance troupe while experiencing an epidemic of violent fits amongst the team. As we follow Toni's day to day routine– boxing with her brother, filling water canteens, and observing the next door dance team, Toni is captivated by the freedom of expression that dance offers outside of boxing. In this film, Holmer's cast completely features a playbill cast of non-actor dancers from Cincinnati's Q Kidz Dance Team after discovering their talents on YouTube.Watch the film before you download this episode, because we're full of spoilers today. ADDITIONAL READINGSScreendance Journal Article (Dis/Orientation: Rhythmic Bodies and Corporeal Orature in The Fits)How Did You Create aDirector/Actress Interview: Coming-of-Age Portrait Through DanceThe Transcendant Gaze –Thanks to all who have been tuning in all season!

This week's episode is dedicated to the life, work and legacy of Simon Fildes who was an international award-winning film-maker, artist, curator and teacher.  This episode features the voices of some of Simon's many collaborators and colleagues, who share their memories and reflections on both him and his work.Simon was a pioneer in choreographic approaches to editing and his work with frequent collaborator Katrina McPherson continued to push boundaries and expectations of the hybridization of dance and film. Simon was also a leader in the screendance field, facilitating networks and conversations that connected and inspired artists through both in-person and online initiatives. He worked as a curator for many organizations and  eventually established Screen.dance Scotland which showcased the work of other artists and filmmakers to a global audience. EPISODE CONTRIBUTORS:Ellen BrombergOmari “Motion” Carter & Anna Clifford (The Motion Dance Collective)Robin GeeAbby Warilow & Lewis Gourlay (Cagoule Dance)Ben EstabrookMitchell Rose SELECT FILMS:There is a PlaceDancer: Sang JiJiaCamera: Katrina McPhersonEditor: Simon FildesSix SolosDirector/Editor: Simon FildesChoreographer: Sang JijiaCoire RuadhProduced and Directed by Simon Fildes and Katrina McPherson BONUS READING:Repetition, revelation and transformation, the loop in video dance structure.Screendance Bingo (pdf download) MUSIC:Garden Music by Kevin MacLeod | https://incompetech.com/Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/Creative Commons CC BY 3.0 We would like to thank Simon's wife Wyn Pottratz for her support of this episode and continuation of Simon's legacy. –Got a question or suggestion?

In today's Pas de Cast, we're launching a new episode series where, rather than a specific location or film, we will be exploring how specific genres of dance intersect with cinema and technology. Ballet originated as a combination of choreographic display and social dance, and we have seen this evolve as our capacities to both choreograph and be social expand.Like a Ballet you may see In the theatre, We're splitting today's show into acts. In act one, we'll talk about a range of examples of ballet on screen, from mainstream to experimental.  In act two, will focus on how ballet has been and continues to be used as a tool beyond pure entertainment. Highlighted in this Episode:Pas de Deux (1968)Dir.

Ok, you caught us again in another music video episode. We just can't get enough of the power of dance and music uniting together in the world of visual entertainment. But in the years of the early 2000s, there was a flavor of music videos that were incredibly different from years past and future. One of those outside the box artists leading the way of wildly explosive yet iconically memorable music video hits is no other than Missy Elliott– the OG. How can you forget “Lose Control,” and its bizarre digital visual effects? Missy's head being pasted onto dancers crunking the desert floor, Ciara's epic dance moves while re-defining the lindy hop, and Fat Man Scoop alone with his hyped up vocals that leaves you screaming ‘LET'S GO.'The joy of Missy Elliott and the short-lived strange era of the early 2000s was such a memorable time for MTV and VH1 premiering the latest music videos, highlighting the best of the best. Missy Eliott takes the spotlight by bringing back the classics– whether they be old or new. Her take on a visual journey is to be totally beyond the planet we're living on.Lose Control - Missy Elliott (feat.

In this bonus Summer season we feature Rhee's highly acclaimed Coffee Talk web series. Originally produced for IDEA members, this web series features some of the dance industry's most influential voices. Join Rhee and his special guests as he leads interesting conversations on Dance Teaching, Curriculum, Dance Studio Ownership, the Dance Industry and Teaching children in the post pandemic landscape of 2022.  In today's episode Rhee chats with dance studio owner June Lawrence and Marketing expert Jennifer Randall.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's episode, Jen Ray discusses the documentary “How She Moves” with its co-directors, Anya Raza and Aisha Linnea. All of us Frameformers had the opportunity to see this film at Dancinema's 2021 Capitol Dance & Cinema Festival at Eaton Workshop in DC and we knew right away we wanted to share more about this important project on the podcast with the creators.About “How She Moves”: On the eve of Pakistan's 70th independence anniversary, we follow the spirited 90 year old guru Indu Mitha, as she prepares for her students' final performance before she retires. “How She Moves” pulls back the curtain on her life as one of Pakistan's few classical dance teachers. We observe her give a feminist and secular spin on classical dance, and see the transformative impact it has on her students. How She Moves, has toured 18 film festivals globally, and won 3 awards and 2 nominations.@howshemovesthedoc @aishalinneaofficial @anyarazaofficialWebsite: https://howshemovesthedoc.comTrailer: https://youtu.be/QLxRqdkoXWwDirectors' Statement:When we first heard Mrs Indu Mitha was having her final performance, we knew this was a rare moment in our history that had to be captured. At the tender age of 90, Indu's contribution to preserving ancient classical dance despite a backdrop of growing intolerance and conservatism in Pakistan, is a legacy to be celebrated. As two women filmmakers, it was a privilege to go behind the scenes into the unseen world of dance.In a conservative tight-knit society such as Pakistan, dance is a misunderstood subject, and women expressing themselves publicly is uncommon. Indu's journey as one of the few classical dance teachers in the country, challenges stereotypes about Pakistani women that abound both within the country and overseas. How She Moves reflects on the universality of storytelling through dance, and how it can be used to unite communities.We now unfortunately live in a time when women's views, lives, and bodies are a battleground in the so-called clash of civilizations. In a time when vitriol dominates and divides communities all over the world, How She Moves challenges these narratives by telling a universal story of hope and resilience.Please note this film is not an ethnographic representation, nor meant to exemplify Mrs Mitha's classical dance style, her innovative subcontinental music or themes, or the performance of her students.If you want to learn more about Indu Mitha and her dance, you can reach out to her daughter, who is also a dancer, Tehreema Mitha. @tehreema_mitha/Also mentioned in this episode:TEDTalk by Amy Cuddy: “Your body language may shape who you are”https://www.ted.com/talks/amy_cuddy_your_body_language_may_shape_who_you_are–ANNOUNCEMENTS:Want to submit your documentary for a theatrical and/or online screening?

It's 2022 and it's time to get with the program people. PUT YOUR WORK ONLINE. Do it in a fashion that makes sense to you. Whether that be hosting your own website portfolio or starting a YouTube channel focusing on the creative process. Overall, sharing *content* online is essentially necessary in this digital age. Representing one-third of the Frameform team (Hannah here), I find that the internet is the one of the best outlets to share and explore dance film as it already embodies a niche community spanning across the globe. As the next generation navigates its ways through short-form scrollable content, the digital hemisphere is a natural homebase to display a gallery of visually stimulating homemade works. It's time to normalize dance film online by tagging films in a way that makes it easier to find. Post your  experimental shorts, narrative driven ballets, and all the bingeable storytelling that will make people want to hit that replay button. We're one short host this week, but Hannah and Clare jump in, reflecting and  looking forward to what's to come on the forecast of the screendance metaverse.–ANNOUNCEMENTSThere are so many festivals accepting dance film submissions right now!

We're back with our regularly scheduled programming! In today's episode, we're back on the location scouting game by taking a closer look into dance films taking place in empty swimming pools! Like our previous episode with warehouse films, deserted swimming pools have populated the screendance world with its desaturated backdrop aesthetic. Something about the hues of blue tile and barren empty sea floor sets up a new proscenium for movers to navigate through. We break down the draw to this environment and what the film is doing differently from non-pool locations.

I was running an expensive hobby.   Spending a lot of time on my business but not seeing the financial return.   I don’t know why we, as artists, feel so guilty for charging.   But, I had to get over that!   On episode #98 of the Dance Boss Podcast, I take it back and dive into why my business wasn’t growing. One main reason was because I wasn’t being true to my learning style. I was trying on one-size-fits-all strategies instead of finding a strategy to fit me and my business.    Plus, I would charge the bare minimum, when I deserved so much more!   Once I got a coach, that became clear.   I owned my pricing, and I believed that people would pay for what I have to offer!   This is the third episode in a 4-part series that will help you monetize your dance teaching knowledge, and expertise online.   So stay tuned!   And, if you haven’t already listened to episodes #96 and #97 (parts 1 and 2) of the Dance Boss Podcast, what are you waiting for? https://erinpride.com/podcast/dbp96 https://erinpride.com/podcast/dbp97 Join us live Tuesday, August 25th from 3:00pm to 4:00pm, to ask questions, express concerns, contribute ideas, and have a great conversation!

It’s difficult to maintain a work-family balance when we are trying to get a new business off the ground. How can professional support help us? How does entering business awards help structure our business? How can we inspire our children to be entrepreneurs? In this episode, Stacey Morgan shares how she maintains her home life alongside her professional life, and explains how entering awards changed her perspective on her business. Some days I’m a really good business owner, some days I’m a really good mom, and some days I’m a mix of both—and that’s ok. -Stacey Morgan   3 Things We Learned From This Episode Don’t rely on support from your family only (04:57- 07:15) We often feel the need to put on the façade of ‘everything’s going great’ when speaking about our business to our family because we don’t want them to lose confidence in us. We need to have a community of professionals in the same position as us with whom we can speak openly and honestly about the challenges we face.   It’s not natural to be a 24-hour mom (7:17-9:30) We are inclined to think that if we don’t want to spend 24 hours a day with our children we are bad parents. This is not true to even previous eras of parenting. We need to balance the time we spend parenting and working to avoid feeling exhausted and resentful, and so that we can make the most of the time we have with our children.   Applying for awards helps you structure your business (13:41-15:35) As business owners we keep a lot of information in our heads and hardly ever communicate it to others. Entering business awards puts us on the spot in terms of all aspects of our business and it forces us to answer questions we have never considered. We stand to gain a well-rounded perspective of our business, see where we’re doing well and what we need to work on.   As mothers and business owners, we need to distinguish between our two roles whilst also recognizing where the positive overlaps are. Our family should not be our only source of support for our business, and we shouldn’t feel like we are neglecting them by not being there 24/7. We need a professional team and support structure so that we can take the time for our families. We must also make time for opportunities that can help our businesses grow, even when their value is not immediately evident. Entering awards is an extremely useful exercise as it makes us take a closer look at how our business is performing.   Guest Bio- Stacey Morgan, Founder and Principal of Port Macquarie Performing Arts (PMPA) and Podcast Host, is a passionate dance educator from Wauchope, NSW. She has received numerous awards at the Greater Port Macquarie Business Awards, namely, Excellence in Technology 2012, Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2014, 2015 and 2016, and Excellence in Innovation 2015. Stacey grew up dancing under the expert instruction of Francessca O’Donnell and gained her Associate Teaching Diploma from the British Ballet Association. She went on to dance professionally overseas and in Australian productions of musicals like Grease, Gypsy and 42nd Street. Stacey has a Bachelor of Creative Industries in Dance and a Bachelor of Education in Drama from the Queensland University of Technology, and she also has her Masters in Arts Education - majoring in Dance Teaching - from Deakin University. Prior to opening PMPA, she was Education Manager for the Royal New Zealand Ballet where she facilitated a nation-wide education program for dance.
