Choreographer Holly Blakey and curator Kiera Blakey candidly discuss their paths to becoming creative leaders. Despite challenges, they've fearlessly carved unique artistic careers by taking risks, collaborating, and staying true to their values. In this conversation with Ceri, discover how they inspire others while making the arts more accessible. KEY TAKEAWAYS Embrace light and shade in your creative work, discomfort can lead to the most impactful art. Take the less travelled path and trust your creative vision, even if it doesn't fit the status quo. Setbacks and "wrong turns" are catalysts for growth that help you discover your authentic creative voice. They are necessary to evolve as a true artist. A strong work ethic and support network are crucial for navigating challenges in creative careers. Push for diversity and inclusion, creating art that is accessible to a wider range of people Acknowledge your achievements and contributions; celebrate how far you've come with gratitude. Creative siblings can be a source of mutual inspiration, encouragement and perspective! Messy, difficult experiences often plant seeds for the most meaningful creative work later on. BEST MOMENTS “There's a kind of unrelenting refusal to accept the confines of how dance is taught." "I want it to encapsulate all of those things - the pleasure, rhythm, feeling immersed in a moment or feeling full of memories." "It's more interesting to me to have a challenge. I like to work really hard.” "There's no mistakes Mom, it's just always learning." "We've spent time feeling like we're outside of something, so the journey of getting inside was really hard." "I'm so proud of what my sister's achieved, but also what she stands for - truth in your own conviction and belief in yourself." "You don't follow a status quo. You say, this is it, I'm presenting this. You know exactly what it is." "It's important to acknowledge how far you've come and what you've contributed together with others for others."
