Send us a textIt's the last episode of 2025! On this episode the Beaveman presents one of the most ridiculous conspiracy theories out there. The belief that Lyme Disease was created in a lab on Plum island at the Plum Island Animal Disease Center. I mean, let's not just assume that Lyme Disease has been around for thousands of years. That would be ridiculous. It's clearly a biological weapon created by an evil genius in order to wreak havoc on the battlefield by causing a rash and vague symptoms like fatigue and joint disease weeks to years after exposure. Oh wait, that is ridiculous. Welcome to some of the most ridiculous conspiracy theories that could only be imagined in the USA. Thank you to all our listeners.

Auditions take on a new clarity as John Corella shows how dancers can stay grounded, choose an outfit that supports their presence, rely on their 3 tricks, and move through the journey with steadier confidence.   John talks openly about the pressure dancers feel and the emotional weight parents carry. It raises important questions. What helps someone stay centered in a room full of nerves? How does a dancer build confidence when the result is out of their hands? He explains why courage grows in spaces where dancers can try, fail, and continue without shame. He also breaks down what teachers actually notice, from focus and kindness to an outfit that helps them remember you. His take on improv feels especially helpful. The 3 tricks approach gives dancers something reliable to lean on when the moment feels unpredictable.   Listeners will leave with a clearer sense of the audition journey and the mindset that helps a dancer stay steady through every high and low.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction to Dance and Auditions 03:03 Navigating the Audition Process 05:52 Preparing for Auditions: Tips and Tricks 08:46 The Importance of Presentation and Focus 12:10 Understanding the Audition Environment 15:10 Improv and Showcasing Your Strengths 18:04 Coping with Rejection and Disappointment 20:57 Post-Audition Reflections and Growth 23:50 Final Thoughts and Encouragement Connect with John Corella: Follow Dance Dad with John Corella on Instagram Follow John on Instagram Join Dance Dad with John Corella on Patreon Visit John Corella's website Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

From the coveted corner booth at Skip Paige' Little Bar, this episode of Big Conversations, Little Bar dives into how improvisation can reshape the way we communicate, create, and connect. The conversation traces a winding artistic path—from Chicago theater roots and a self-directed college experience to global adventures that tested resilience and deepened empathy. Along the way, the Melanie Blue shares with Patrick Evans and Randy Florence how improv and acting strengthen each other: acting adds depth to improvisation, while improv builds trust, listening, and adaptability for scripted work and real life. The hosts reflect on taking beginner improv classes, confronting fear, and discovering surprising community inside the classroom. You'll also hear about corporate workshops that use “improv mindset” techniques to help teams present better, collaborate faster, and loosen up—without losing substance. Plus, there's a spotlight on an upcoming desert theater production featuring Georgia O'Keeffe, and why creative mentorship can change everything.Takeaways:Improv isn't just jokes—it's honesty, character, and grounded reality.“Yes, and” supports better listening, trust, and collaboration offstage.Safe, playful spaces help adults take creative risks and grow confidence.Acting skills deepen improv; improv skills strengthen scripted performance.Fear doesn't disappear—courage is moving forward while holding it.Life experiences can become fuel for teaching, empathy, and artistry.Corporate “improv mindset” workshops build presentation and team dynamics.Community forms fast when everyone shares beginner-level vulnerability.#BigConversationsLittleBarPodcast #PatrickEvans #RandyFlorence #SkipsLittleBar #MutualBroadcastingSystem #CoachellaValleyResidents #SkipPaige #McCallumTheatre #MelanieBlue #Improv #Improvisation #YesAnd #Acting #TheatreCommunity #PalmDesert #CoachellaValley #Creativity #CommunicationSkills #PersonalGrowth #DesertEnsembleTheatre

A replay episode from our powerful interview with Lisa Kays on how improv can deepen conversations around tough topics like race and oppression. Click Here to View the Original Episode Shownotes Improv in Therapy and in Life – Explore the power – and sheer fun – of using improvisation in therapy! Dr. Ann Kelley and Lisa Kays discuss how improv can deepen conversations around tough topics like race and oppression. They examine white supremacy culture and show how improv values like collaboration, slowing down, and embracing complexity can challenge these norms. Improv fosters creativity, playfulness, and self-reflection to help reduce defensiveness and strengthen relationships in everyday life, at work, or in our closest relationships. By creating a supportive, collaborative environment, improv deepens connections and helps people tap into a wider range of emotions. “A culture of improvisation is collaborative – it is nature – you cannot do it by yourself.” – Lisa Kays Time Stamps for Improv in Therapy & Life 03:30 The integration of improv and tough conversations 10:03 The origins of improv and its connection to social justice 14:27 Contrasting white supremacy culture and improv culture 19:20 Questioning cultural norms and valuing relationships 25:29 The power of the ‘And’ in joining and connecting 38:27 The power of improv in building secure relationships 53:25 Embracing creativity and letting go of perfectionism 58:12 Creating a culture of support and collaboration 01:05:04 Applying improv in everyday life 01:09:10 Deepening connections and accessing different emotions About our Guest for Improv Therapy – Lisa Kays LICSW, LCSW, LCSW-C Lisa Kays, LICSW, LCSW-C, LCSW, is an independently licensed clinical social worker in Washington, D.C, Maryland, Virginia, Oregon and New Jersey.
