Trigger Warning: Mention of Eating Disorders and mental Illness Welcome back pole dancers to this episode of Science of Slink! This week we are touching on how perfection harms people's movement, progress, and mental states. To wrap up the video I'm including recommendations for how to avoid perfectionism influences and how to rework patterns of our internal perfectionism.  Let's start by defining perfectionism, perfectionism is "excessively high personal standards of performance accompanied by tendencies for overly critical evaluations of one's behavior" (Frost, R. 14) perfectionism is different from conscientiousness which exhibits characteristics such as being responsible, organized, hard-working, goal-directed, and adhering to norms and rules.  So why is perfectionism so bad? Perfectionism has been correlated with being a source of chronic stress, it's associated with a much higher risk of a large range of negative mental health outcomes. One of the big reasons these correlations have been found is because perfectionism steals your ability to enjoy your accomplishments and the things you enjoy.  I recommend reframing perfectionism mindsets and here are some ways I recommend reframing your mindset. First, be honest about whether perfectionism is negatively affecting you. Do you enjoy activities less because of it? Are you under more stress than necessary? Working with a mental health professional can be a huge step in the right direction to help us notice where perfectionism is impacting our lives. One really important thing when looking for a place to practice, try to find spaces where failure is treated as a normal part of life--because it is! Lastly, but most importantly, work on reframing in your pole practice:  Have goals around the amount of time spent training a skill or number of attempts as opposed to "nailing it" At the end of each training session, write down one thing that felt really good (no qualifiers!) Change up your social media feed: mute (temporarily as needed) professional performers and seek out dancers at a similar level and with a similar body type as you (and even then, remember: it's a highlight reel!)

On the Saturday November 18, 2023 edition of the Richard Crouse Show, we meet Nick Broomfield, director of the new documentary “The Stones And Brian Jones,” now playing in theatres. With candid interviews and never-before-seen footage he reveals how Brian Jones, the founder of the Rolling Stones, was left behind in the shadows of history. Broomfield props the film up with first-hand accounts, particularly from former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman, whose enthusiasm for the music, and Jones's contributions to it, is infectious. The old stories are bolstered by the addition of new, fresh interviews but it is the focus on Jones as a brilliant musician and not simply another rock ‘n' roll casualty, that elevates “The Stones and Brian Jones.” The story has its sordid moments, but Bloomfield emphasizes the very heart of Jones's being, the music. We'll also get to know Chelsea McMullen, director of Swan Song, a documentary that takes us inside the National Ballet of Canada's 2022 legacy-defining new production of “Swan Lake,” choreographed for the first time by the company's artistic director Karen Kain, who famously debuted in the ballet in 1971. The film's intimate, character-driven approach chronicles creative conflicts, devastating injuries and personal sacrifices amongst its subjects who, in various ways, confront ideals of race, class and body standards as they navigate a tradition that has historically valued uniformity and compliance. Then, John Carney, the Irish musician and director of Flora and Son, a new Apple TV+. comedy about a mom, played by the fabulous Eve Hewson, who tries to connect with her rebellious son with music. The director of the Academy Award winning film “Once” tells me about his music saved his life and why he didn't include my favorite Dublin pub in the film.

You might know Neve Campbell from films like “Scream” and TV shows like “Party of Five,” but before Hollywood, her first love was ballet. Now, Neve is the executive producer for a documentary called “Swan Song” about legendary ballet dancer Karen Kain's final performance. Neve joins Tom to talk about her love of dance, what it was like to meet and celebrate one of her first idols, and what makes ballet a great form of storytelling.

Mounting something beautiful can be an act of all out war...On this very special episode we dive into the art of creation in one of the more hallowed halls of performance art in our fair country.  It's time to mount an iconic ballet coming off of the pandemic, it's time for a 'Swan Song'SWAN SONG immerses viewers inside one of the world's leading ballet companies as it mounts a legacy-defining new production of Swan Lake, directed by ballet icon Karen Kain on the eve of her retirement.  The verité-driven feature documentary closely follows Kain and a group of young dancers drawn from the National Ballet of Canada's ranks, weaving Swan Lake's dramatic creation process with intimate scenes from the subjects' personal lives as they push toward one of the most significant opening nights in their company's history. It doesn't only take a village to mount a ballet production, it's actually akin to a war of attrition as director Chelsea McMullan takes us into the thick of the battle, not only following Kain as she prepares for retirement but also in the middle of the company so that we get a sense of how much effort it takes from all involved to make something like this work.We had the pleasure of sitting down with Chelsea and co-writer/producer Sean O'Neill to talk about the challenges of the shoot, the hurdles they had to clear, the magic of dance on screen and how easily this could have turned into something very, VERY different.'Swan Song' is playing at the TIFF Bell Lightbox now and rolling out to various other theatres in the days and weeks to come.

Reflection on Karen Kain's Career

Reflection on Karen Kain's Career

Karen Kain had to also learn the hardest way possible in 1994, the misinformation we are told by the drug companies and pediatricians. Her baby girl was vaccinated with the DPT vaccine at 6 weeks of age and she immediately had severe seizures, which ended her life at 15 years old. She was blessed to get compensation for her daughter's injury and continues to fight the fight for our voiceless victims!

Mark talks with Brendan Saye, newly-promoted principal dancer with the National Ballet of Canada. Brendan opens up about his life as a ballet dancer from an early age, his rising prominence in the dance world, and the mysterious symptoms and sudden illness that almost cost him everything. After a long recovery, through periods of darkness and intense retraining, Brendan is poised to continue his dramatic comeback during artistic director Karen Kain’s milestone 50th anniversary 2019/20 season with the company.

In this NAC 50th Anniversary podcast, Karen Kain, Artistic Director of The National Ballet of Canada, and Rex Harrington, Artist-in-Residence, both acclaimed former principal dancers with the company, share memories about performing at the National Arts Centre and during Karen's farewell tour across Canada. Throughout her career, opportunities came to Karen through artists Rudolph Nureyev, Erik Bruhn, John Neumeier, Glen Tetley and Jiří Kylián and her exquisite performances were made all the more memorable by Rex's innate gift for magical and magnetic partnering. Under her artistic directorship, The National Ballet of Canada has become one of the top international companies in the world. Both she and Rex explain how this was achieved. In closing, Rex speaks of the rewards of coaching and passing on knowledge while Karen shares her vision for the coming years.

Author and Parent Advocate for Special Needs families, Karen Kain has become a beacon of light carrying an inspiring message with a purpose. In her memoir, "A Unique Life Fully Lived: A Personal Story of Love, Hope and Courage", Karen has written a mother's loving tribute to her only daughter in her search to create a 'full life' for Lorrin. At 6 weeks old Lorrin received a bad vaccination which was later found out to be a “hot” lot. Lorrin suffered severe brain damage from the vaccine. It left her a quadriplegic with daily seizures, non-verbal, blind and only able to blink for communication. Yet Lorrin lived to fifteen ‘full and unique' years. The government never argued the cause of injury and Lorrin received an award from The National Vaccine Court in 1998. Karen shares how she was forced to set goals and made decisions to create a life without boundaries. The book describes the unique and extraordinary life experiences that Karen created for Lorrin and the soul connection between mother and daughter that continues to this day. Lorrin lived a full life: best friends, slumber parties, horseback riding, overnight camp, Girl Scouts, and attending the school prom resplendent in a red satin gown complete with tiara. She swam with dolphins, participated in the school play, and she and her canine companion won first place at her middle school Halloween dance contest. In documenting their victories, challenges, and sorrows and sharing the tools and skills she learned to navigate life's journey, Karen's story is inspiring and resonates deeply in the hearts of everyone. Since Lorrin's death, Karen has been traveling around the US sharing her story to educate and inspire parents to live life to the fullest no matter their situation

An active member of the dance community for more than 35 years, Risa Steinberg served as the associate director of The Juilliard School from 2009 to 2016. As a solo artist, teacher, rehearsal coach, and director of the works of José Limón, she has toured the world performing and teaching extensively. Risa is a former principal dancer with the José Limón Dance Company, Bill Cratty Dance Theater, Annabelle Gamson, Anna Sokolow's Player's Project, Colin Connor, and American Repertory Dance Company of Los Angeles. She has been a guest artist with choreographers including Wally Cardona, Sean Curran, and Danzahoy of Caracas, Venezuela. Her solo concert, A Celebration of Dance, features repertory from Isadora Duncan and Doris Humphrey to contemporary choreographers Wally Cardona and Ann Carlson. As a reconstructor of the works of Limón, Risa has worked with companies and dancers around the world including Nureyev and Friends, Frank Augustyn, Karen Kain, and the Pennsylvania Ballet. She was a dance panelist for the N.Y.S. Council on the Arts and presently sits on the Artists Advisory board for Danspace Project at St. Marks Church. In this episode we cover the following topics: Talent recruitment (objective vs. subjective characteristics, adherence to standards) The importance of skill development early in a performer’s career Limitations of fear based learning When coaches are the problem Capturing emotion and feeling without being overcome with emotion to the point that it detracts from execution Part vs. whole learning/periodization of dance Do generational changes require different educational approaches How do performers (and their directors) avoid complacency despite adhering to the same "script" night in and night out

Why is the film Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe causing such a media frenzy? Why was it banned from the Tribeca Film Festival? Could it be because what it has uncovered is so threatening to people who want to hide the truth? Today's show is 'Vaxxed Uncensored'. Guest, Karen Kain, who appears in the film, is the mother of Lorrin, a healthy baby until a vaccine caused seizures and turned her into a blind, non-verbal quadriplegic. Guest, Polly Tommey, a co-producer of the film, is the mother of Billy, a boy with autism, and founder of media outlets for autism awareness. With autism rates skyrocketing, and no other proven explanation in sight, you need to hear what these filmmakers have found. Yes, it's scary to consider that the CDC could be perpetrating a cover up, while more children are diagnosed with autism each day, but it's scarier not to know. Is Vaxxed 'anti-vaccine'? Is it about making vaccines safe? Or is it sensational hogwash? Listen and then you decide.

Yorgos Loukos, légendaire directeur artistique du Ballet de l'Opéra de Lyon créé en 1687, s'est entretenu avec Isabelle Brisebois la veille de la représentation de la compagnie au Centre national des Arts, le 22 avril 2015. Au fil d'une belle conversation, Yorgos nous fait part de son expérience comme danseur—et notamment de sa participation à une tournée canadienne du Ballet national de Marseille mettant en vedette Karen Kain en 1975—et de sa réorientation au sein de la compagnie grâce à Roland Petit. Il souligne la particularité du Ballet de l'Opéra de Lyon qu'il guide depuis 1991, de ses danseurs et de son répertoire, constitué d'œuvres produites par des chorégraphes de danse contemporaine parmi les plus marquants et les plus inventifs, dont Trisha Brown, Merce Cunningham, Maguy Marin, William Forsythe, Jiří Kylián, Nacho Duato, et des représentants de la jeune danse française tels que Christian Rizzo, Boris Charmatz, Benjamin Millepied et Rachid Ouramdane. En terminant, Yorgos nous parle de son association, en tant que directeur, au Festival de danse de Cannes et au Festival d'Athènes, d'un rêve qu'il souhaite réaliser, et de l'état actuel de la danse.
