Podcast appearances and mentions of kate jacobson

Kath and Jan welcome the powerful dancer Daisy Kate Jacobson to the podcast as we parse the meanings of lissome, lithe and willowy as it relates to dancers. Like a true dancer, however, Daisy prefers to concentrate on strength, rather than patriarchal labels. We talk about Daisy's evolution from being a tiny child chorus member in The Nutcracker to playing the lead, Clara. After attending Juilliard, she worked with LA Dance Project and now is a protégé of Twyla Tharp, after working on Twyla's reboot of “Nine Sinatra Songs.” Kath and Jan realize they are old enough to remember the original version of that piece in back in the day. We discuss Daisy's Franco-American roots, her commitment to being mostly vegan, and how to maintain balanced eating with the torching of calories that comes with dance. We talk about Daisy and her boyfriend sharing cooking duties and eating disorders within the dance community. Daisy reveals how she needs to supplement her diet with animal products to help with a hip injury. Finally, Daisy almost convinces Kath & Jan to take an adult ballet class, currently the subject of a documentary she is working on. As long as we can wear sweats, we are in. A fascinating and illuminating conversation. Listen in!

Canada's intellectual culture is now like a barren soil that struggles to give life to even the simplest flora. They're just not that smart. We make too many right wing cranks, self-help charlatans, blood-thirsty reactionaries, insipid centrists, and third-rate Hayekians. But which are our worst? We invite our new friends from the Harbinger Media Network … Read More Read More

“I can be a human who dances and not just a dancer who happens to be a human” In this episode we speak with Daisy Kate Jacobson.

About Daisy: Daisy grew up in Manhattan Beach, CA where she trained at South Bay Ballet. She received her BFA in Dance from The Juilliard School in 2017 and joined LA Dance Project soon after. At LA Dance Project, Daisy has performed new works by leading choreographers such as Benjamin Millepied, Justin Peck, Shannon Gillen, Kyle Abraham, and Ohad Naharin.

This week Alberta United Conservative Party leader Jason Kenney was extremely triggered by a piece in Vice that explored the anti-semitic origins of his attacks on environmentalist groups, so Kate Jacobson of the Alberta Advantage podcast (quoted in the piece and later publicly attacked by Kenney) joined me to talk about it, as well as how antisemitism is inseparable from capitalism, why Justin Trudeau only cares about corporate crimes when the US State Department tells him to, why we're helping start Vietnam II in Latin America for some reason and of course, we also complain about the NDP.

On this episode: Fresh from the birthplace of the CCF, The Calgary-based Alberta Advantage podcast provides bi-weekly commentary and analysis on local and provincial politics from a left perspective. In this conversation, co-host and producer Kate Jacobson joins Andre Goulet to discuss how the Alberta NDP have given the province a political education and why the party shouldn't be counted out in the 2019 election. Plus: how United Conservative Party leader Jason Kenney's political career has been the ultimate ideological conservative grift and why the uniqueness of provincial politics is due to the deeply conservative tendencies of rural Alberta.
