Podcasts about Tiler Peck

This week, Hear the Dance host Silas Farley is joined by three dancers who know William Forsythe's 1992 ballet Herman Schmerman well: Original cast members Jeffrey Edwards and Associate Artistic Director Wendy Whelan, and current interpreter Tiler Peck. Edwards and Whelan recall the unique physical and artistic challenges Forsythe's choreography posed, particularly as he called for improvisation and constant change in the studio—sometimes up until the dancers hit the stage. For Peck, Forsythe is as essential a creator as a mentor, particularly as her own career as a choreographer takes off.

Hello Everyone, I am so excited for you all to listen to this really pleasant conversation I had with Tiler Peck. The world renowned, incredibly dynamic, musical and versatile dancer of today. People have said about her "I don't even have to hear the music to be able to know what it sounds like when I watch you dance." Tiler Peck started dancing at her mother's studio at the age of two and was introduced to various dance styles. She worked with former Bolshoi principal dancer Alla Khaniashvili and former New York City Ballet dancers Patricia Neary and Yvonne Munsey. Peck's journey led her to the School of American Ballet (SAB) and eventually to New York City Ballet. She had to navigate the transition from jazz to ballet and overcome feelings of comparison and insecurity. P eck's musicality is a defining characteristic of her dancing, and she describes it as being an extension of the music. She believes in breaking the rules and being fearless on stage. In this conversation, Tiler Peck discusses the importance of musicality in ballet and how it can be taught. Can it be taught to the degree Tiler is gifted? She emphasizes the need for dancers to listen to the music and become comfortable with it, allowing it to guide their movements. Tiler also shares her experience as a perfectionist and how it has both helped and hindered her progress. She highlights the importance of finding a balance between striving for perfection and letting go to fully express oneself. Tiler also talks about the significance of downtime and having experiences outside of ballet, which can enhance a dancer's artistry and bring more depth to their performances. Let's meet Tiler!

In the latest New Combinations episode, Associate Artistic Director and host Wendy Whelan chats with Principal Dancer Tiler Peck about memories from their time dancing together and Tiler's upcoming choreographic debut with the Company. Tiler describes how her internal sense of musicality drives her choreographic practice as much as her work as a performer, and shares that this commission from New York City Ballet came at exactly the right time—the dancers' happiness and enthusiasm in the studio were "exactly what she needed."

You can also check out this episode on Spotify!Principal dancer for the New York City Ballet, Tiler Peck, woke up one morning in 2019 in excruciating pain and unable to move. She was diagnosed with a herniated disc in her neck on an MRI, and multiple doctors recommended surgery. They also suggested she might never dance again. When Tiler asked if she could instead pursue physical therapy before — or instead of — surgery, one doctor asked if Tiler's physical therapist wanted to be responsible if she ended up paralyzed.Tiler went from abject despair to dogged determination to heal on her own terms.And that's what she did. Tiler listened to her body and sought a more nuanced approach to her neck. In the process, she learned more about herself than she ever imagined. From the physical manifestations of emotional distress to the power of saying “no,” Tiler's seven months of immobility turned into a process of self-discovery.As a result, she came back to ballet stronger and smarter. In this episode of Beyond the Prescription, the dancer shares her insights about doctors, self-advocacy, and the power of knowing our own body and mind. She and Dr. McBride discuss treating the patient — and not just their test results — and the critical importance of more holistic approaches to health and well-being. Join Dr. McBride every Monday for a new episode of Beyond the Prescription.

This week Reid talks through the process of designing a new work for Tiler Peck for the Boston Ballet... but the recording got erased, and he had to start over and it didn't really work out.

If self-awareness, and awareness of the world around you is the goal.  I strongly recommend taking on a daily creative project as part of that regimen.  Here is why:  To make creative work, you must look both outside AND inside. You must call on imagination and ACTION. you must find your voice, and use it... even if all it speaks is questions. Show Notes Quick Links Toni Basil Swan Lake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbBzyTJPt30 Transcript: Intro: This is words that move me, the podcast where movers and shakers, like you get the information and inspiration. You need to navigate your creative career with clarity and confidence. I am your host master mover, Dana Wilson. And if you're someone that loves to learn, laugh and is looking to rewrite the starving artist story, then sit tight, but don't stop moving cause you're in the right place. Dana: Hello. Hello everybody. And welcome back to the podcast or welcome for the first time. If you're new, I am so excited that you are here. And as always, I am super jazzed about this episode. Like very jazzed about this episode. Um, today I want to talk about something that hasn't been addressed here on the podcast in quite a while, broadly creativity, but specifically creating something daily and here on the podcast, we call that doing daily. Now of course, before we do that, I do want to share a win and I want to hear yours. And I also want to tell you that I am wearing overalls today, not jingle bells. These are overalls just wanted to let you know this will be a very spirited episode because of my jingle bell overalls. Okay. Let's talk wins this week. My win is that I am so honored to be teaching for my dear friend, Tiler Peck's summer intensive. And I am not sure if enrollment is open, I will definitely find out. Um, and when I do, if it is open, I will absolutely link to that in the show notes. And I will brag loud and proud about it on all the socials so that if you are able to, you can enroll in those classes. I am simply super proud to be a part of this all star lineup. And I'm just very excited about this intensive. All right, that is my win. Now you go, what's going well in your world. Congratulations. Keep crushing it. I'm jazzed for you. Okay. Let's get to it. When I created this podcast, it was not my goal to create a community of daily doers. It was my goal to create a podcast about navigating a creative career. I had written a book of tips and tricks with notes and quotes, a bunch of things that I had collected along on my journey. And on January 1st, 2020, I was ready to. Now, here we are over six months later, living in very, very different circumstances, a global pandemic resulting in over 9 million cases and almost 500,000 deaths worldwide. COVID-19 also brought the US unemployment rate to 13.3% today, much higher in California I believe. Add civil unrest in response to police brutality and the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and sadly. So, so many more. The rise of the black lives matter movement. The rise of awareness of other oppressed groups all over the world, the awakening of many to systemic racism and the call for anti-racism. Okay. And now here we are. So way back in January feels like lifetimes ago. When I decided to create this podcast about navigating a creative career, a podcast about making it, I decided that the most important part of making it is making actually

Tiler Peck was dancing before she could walk. By the time she was four-years-old she had a talent for remembering three minute dance solos. “I was dancing all the time,” says Peck who has been a principal dancer with the New York City Ballet for over a decade. "My mother put me in soccer and I would leap and dance down the field.” Working professionally since she was a child, Peck made her Broadway debut when she was 11 in Susan Stroman's revival of The Music Man. Currently living in her family's home in Bakersfield, California, she is hosting daily ballet classes on her @tilerpeck Instagram. Peck also has a new children’s book, Katarina Ballerina, (Simon & Schuster), which she cowrote with Kyle Harris (The Inheritance). In the book Katarina has a love for dance but her feet turn in and her curly hair doesn’t always fit into a sleek bun. Katarina isn’t perfect, but at every turn, people tell her she is beautiful. “Katarina has one thing that you can't teach. She has a light within her that makes people want to watch her dance,” says Peck. “While technique can be taught, love and passion can’t. The message is for kids to own their unique gifts. That makes you stand out.” Produced in part by the Broadway Podcast Network. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dr. Judy gets together with ultra-determined professional dancer Tiler Peck. Tiler is a principal dancer in the New York City Ballet, an actress; a fashion designer (Tiler Peck Designs), and author, recently penning her first children’s book, “Katarina Ballerina” which explores self-acceptance and embracing our own uniqueness at any age. Tiler reveals her childhood roots, growing up among accomplished dancers and athletes, and her journey from jazz and hip-hop to the competitive world of ballet. Tiler is a recovering perfectionist and she describes how she learned to embrace her imperfections, turning them into unique strengths. Her world crumbled when she suffered a devastating neck injury that took her away from dance, and the painstaking process of finding a doctor who understood exactly what was at stake. Her difficult road back to dance involved venturing down roads she never thought she would, and a rediscovery of who Tiler really is without dance in her life. As the COVID-19 pandemic sidelined her professional dance career once again, Tiler shows us how she turns adversity into opportunity. Her love of dance and teaching inspired her to create a free daily online ballet class that anyone at any level can attend and learn from and enjoy, and she has given her time and talents to fundraising for other performers whose careers have been put on pause. This episode delves deeply into the life of a true artist and a consummate professional who shows us all how determination leads her to live a successful, passionate, thriving life every single day.     In this episode, we discuss:  1. Talent v. Discipline – which is more important? (5:00) 2.  Being your personal best and stop comparisons (8:25) 3. What perfection really is (13:48) 4. How Katerina “the misfit” was born (18:20) 5. The imperfections that Tiler embraces about herself (27:35) 6.  Tiler’s debilitating injury that changed her life (29:35) 7. Tiler’s dance down the naturopaths and the surprising revelations she learned (39:50) 8. Who Tiler is without dance (43:00) 9.

Lauren chats with the talented Tiler Peck- principal dancer with the New York City Ballet, children's book author, and designer! Have you taken her daily instagram live dance class?!

Tiler Peck, principal ballerina with New York City Ballet talks training, streaming class on socials, and finding herself AND HER STRENGTH thanks to the most challenging time of her life.This episode is all about flipping the question: “Why is this happening to me” into “How is this happening for me?” and THAT is a winning mindset. Show Notes Quick Links: Tiler Peck: https://www.instagram.com/tilerpeck/?hl=en New York Times Article: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/13/arts/dance/tiler-peck.html Words That Move Me Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/WTMMPodcast Transcript: Intro: This is words that move me, the podcast where movers and shakers like you get the information and inspiration you need to navigate your creative career with clarity and confidence. I am your host master mover Dana Wilson. And if you're someone that loves to learn, laugh and is looking to rewrite the starving artists story than sit tight, but don't stop moving because you're in the right place. Dana: Hey everybody, and welcome to the podcast. I am so excited that you're here. I am very excited about this episode and I'm very excited to try something new for the beginning of every episode. Um, yeah, I think I'm gonna make a new habit. Tell me if you love it. Tell me if you hate it. I actually mean that. I want you to give me the feedback. So, uh, send me a message at words that move me podcast or we could do a little callback from episode seven and you can toe vote. Toe voting is a game nay an art form that my husband invented and I talked about in episode seven. I use this game when I'm going through the airport, but you can use it right now or all the time. Toe voting is, um, when you silently and invisibly vote in favor or against, um, someone's choices or behavior out there in the world. It is silent. It is invisible. It is just for you. But, uh, the toe vote works like this. Your little toes and your shoes will respond either by jumping up and down and approval or frowning and digging themselves into the floor. That's what a toe vote is. Um, we're back. My new top of the cast habit is called wins. Now, I did not invent the concept of starting with wins. Actually, I became familiar with this concept. Thanks to my acting teacher, Gary Imhoff who teaches the professional artists workshop here in Los Angeles. Cannot say enough great things about Gary. But, um, it's been awhile since I took an acting class. It's been awhile since I did wins and I cannot think of a better time to, uh, remind ourselves of the things that are going well then this very moment. So here is how wins works. I'll go ahead and start. All right. I'm actually busier than I have ever been, which is ironic because I'm a person whose work almost exclusively depends on large groups of people. Um, but I'm getting to do a lot of things that I've always wanted to do. Number one, train more. It seems like a lot of people are offering Instagram live or otherwise livestreams classes. I think it's so much fun. It's very cool. Um, another win, I actually added curtains to my dance space, um, which required a sewing machine and a power drill, which usually gives me the nervous fields. Um, but because I had to use it for like an hour, I got really solid. I'm much more confident with my power tool skills right now than I was, uh, a week or so ago.

If you're obsessed with the world of professional ballet, this one's for you: this week Perrie sits down with Tiler Peck, a principal dancer with the New York City Ballet Company who recently wrapped this year’s run as the Sugar Plum Fairy in The Nutcracker, one of the most iconic ballets ever staged. Tiler explains why putting on that particular costume was pivotal to her life, but also indulged (many) questions about the cutthroat pop culture representations of professional ballet dancers. She also talks about her love of shoes, her close relationship with fashion legend Valentino, and what the future might look like for the New York City Ballet, which faced some high-profile management changes in 2018.  Follow @tilerpeck on Instagram and Twitter.

Anita Waxman, co-founder and director of Ceras Health, has been involved with healthcare technology and the development of new modalities that have changed the course of medicine over the past thirty-five years. In 1975, Anita founded and served as CEO and Chairman of Howe-Lewis International, a management consulting and executive search firm. Howe-Lewis serves the biotechnology, medical electronics, and healthcare communities. It is dedicated to healthcare and not-for-profit communities and is retained by its clients to recruit the entire range of executive-level talent. From its founding, Howe-Lewis has demonstrated its commitment to partnering with both major, established institutions and with emerging, growing organizations to identify and attract the very best leaders.    In 1977, Anita was the co-founder of Diasonics Inc., the company that introduced both diagnostic ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to market. Diasonics was at the forefront in changing the way that medical imaging could diagnose disease. In 1984, Anita along with Dr. Nicholas Cummings founded American Biodyne Inc. She served on the board of directors through its growth and sale to Medco Containment Services (later acquired by Merck). Along with KKR, Merck Behavioral went through a leveraged buyout and as a freestanding company (known as Merit Behavioral) its revenues grew to over $800 million. The company was later sold to Magellan Behavioral Care. Ms. Waxman served on the Board of Directors of SOS International, a worldwide medical service company that, working in some of the most inhospitable places on earth, offered international standards of medical care where it was otherwise not available, or where cultural or language barriers prevented its proper implementation. Through her involvement with SOS International, Ms. Waxman became a Director and Co-Founder of International Medical Care, Ltd., which is a rapidly growing Geneva based company that staffs and operates family practice outpatient clinics and provides emergency room health services throughout the world. Currently, Anita is a cofounder, director, and consultant to Ceras Health, which is dedicated to reducing the cost of healthcare.

Anita Waxman is a multiple Tony Award-winning producer. As CEO of Alexis Productions, she has garnered seventy-one Tony nominations and sixteen Tony awards. Anita is currently working with Jimmy Buffett, Frank Marshall, and Grove Entertainment to bring Escape To Margaritaville, a musical based on the music of Jimmy Buffett, to the world's stage. Anita is also producing Little Dancer, a musical based on the story of Edward Degas. Through Alexis Productions, Anita produced and won multiple Tonys for The Real Thing written by Sir Tom Stoppard, and the successful revival of Cabaret starring Natasha Richardson and Alan Cumming. Other productions include Jesus Christ Superstar, Becoming Chaplin, Rocky, the Tony Award winning Best Revival of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Music Man, A Moon for the Misbegotten starring Gabriel Byrne, The Wild Party, The Waverly Gallery, Electra, A Night in November, A Little Night Music, Enron, American Idiot, Love Never Dies, Present Laughter starring Frank Langella, Mrs. Klein starring Uta Hagen, Wild Honey starring Sir Ian McKellen, The Vertical Hour, Bombay Dreams, Gypsy, the West End productions of Ragtime, the Broadway revival of Rodger and Hammerstein's Flower Drum Song, the hit revival of Noises Off, The Elephant Man starring Billy Crudup, and many more. Two of her shows have won Pulitzer prizes: The Young Man from Atlanta and Top Dog/Underdog. She is a member of the Broadway League.

NYC Ballets lead dancer, Tiler Peck, makes it look easy. The real story, behind the often cruel world of dance.

This week I discuss the three things that judges look for when evaluating artistry on floor. I break down each deduction and provide my best interpretation of the JO Code of Points. The music in the episode is Stevie Ray Vaughn's Little Wing which I reference when I talk about my floor routines. This was the music I had when I competed in college. Please take a look at our blog post on www.leotard.com this week to watch the YouTube videos of the three routines I reference for having wonderful artistry. I also think it's worth watching the profile of Alexei Ratmansky on YouTube, some Misty Copeland videos and Tiler Peck to see how they create such an amazing story with their dance, choreography, expression, and quality of movement. I think this provides some unique perspective to athletes typically focused on only gymnastics. Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend and good luck to everyone competing or TOPS testing. Keep dancing and don't forget to point your toes! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lifeinaleo/support

Today I am bringing to you another husband & wife team, Lauren and Francis Veyette.  You may recognize the last name from a few of my previous interviews and this is because Francis is Andy Veyette’s brother.  This also means that Megan Fairchild, Robbie Fairchild and Tiler Peck are all intertwined not only through ballet but also through marriage.  You’ll hear today that they spend most of their holidays together and the six of them are extremely close.  I truly loved this interview for so many reasons – one because of the most unique journey taken by Lauren in dance. She was interestly quite fast tracked into the New York City Ballet, while still in high school, but then chose a different path – one that was more of a perfect fit for her.  Lauren actually left her professional career to pursue college and then went back to dance and is now a Principal dancer with Pennsylvania ballet.  And her husband, Francis….one of the four Veyette brothers shares a ton about his life growing up in California and the amazing sacrifices his parents made to help him pursue his career in ballet.  Francis is also a principal dancer with Pennsylvania Ballet and has recently received a promotion and is now the director of Pennsylvania Ballet 2 which is their second company.  

Today I continue my interivew with Tiler and Robbie.  In this episode they share more about dancing with the New York City Ballet, offer advice to aspiring dancers and share a bit about their upcoming wedding.

Tiler Peck was born in Bakersfield, California. She began her dance training at the age of seven, studying privately with former Bolshoi Ballet Principal Dancer Alla Khaniashvili in Hollywood. At the age of 11 she began studying at Conjunctive Point in Culver City, California, with former New York City Ballet dancers Colleen and Patricia Neary. During this time she also studied with former NYCB Principal Yvonne Mounsey at Westside School of Ballet in Santa Monica. At the age of 12, Ms. Peck entered the School of American Ballet, the official school of New York City Ballet, for most of the 2000-2001 Winter Term. She returned to SAB during the summers of 2002 and 2003, and that fall began as a full time student. In September 2004, Ms. Peck became an apprentice with New York City Ballet. In February 2005 she joined the Company as a member of the corps de ballet and was promoted to soloist in December 2006 and principal dancer in October 2009. Robert Fairchild was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, and began his dance training at Dance Concepts at the age of four with Rebecca Bateman and Kaelynne Oliphant. His formal ballet training began at the age of ten at the Ballet West Conservatory with Sharee Lane. Other various teachers include: Laura King, Trey Barber, Brooke Healy, and Jaqueline and Heather College of Utah Regional Ballet.   Mr. Fairchild attended the 2002 and 2003 summer courses at the School of American Ballet (SAB), the official school of New York City Ballet, and enrolled as a full time student in the fall of 2003. In June 2005, Mr. Fairchild became an apprentice with NYCB, and the following June, he joined the Company as a member of the corps de ballet. He was promoted to soloist in May 2007, and in October 2009 was promoted to principal dancer.

Earlier this year, Tiler and Robbie were in St. Louis for NYCB MOVES. It's interesting having a conversation in the middle of a hotel business center! People were checking email, mailing packages and slamming doors. We had fun. They were both very generous and St. Louis loved them.
