Emmy award winning choreographer, Tyce Diorio and I cover A LOT in this episode. We talk about finding and being friends in a dog eat dog world, we discuss our processes and passion for movement coaching, and of course we talk In The Heights (in theaters and streaming on HBO Max NOW!) Like so many, I have looked up to Tyce for years, and this episode feels a whole lot like sitting down with my hero… and then winding up having a pillow fight and braiding each other’s hair (yes, games will be played!)! It's pure fun, ease, and openness. ENJOY! Quicklinks: Get Tickets to In The Heights Here: https://www.intheheights-movie.com Katie Holmes “Get Happy” So you Think Piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNV4VxIVW7I 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 because you’re in the right place. Dana: Hello, good people and welcome to Words That Move Me. I’m Dana, I’m jazzed that you are here and I am so, so, so excited to share this conversation with one of my favorite people in the biz, Mr. Tyce Diorio who I have known and looked up to for years and years, because if you do not already know Tyce, you are about to find out his career is truly remarkable, um, and vast, so wide reaching. Um, and finally two summers ago, Tyce and I got to work together on In the Heights, which we’ll get to chatting about in just a second. But first let’s do wins! Let’s do wins! Because In the Heights is my win. This week in the Heights, the film is in the world. Please go see it. If you are healthy, if you are comfortable, go see it in a theater because dang it this is the stuff the big screen was built for! I’m Celebrating in a crazy way inside and outside being a part of the production. More specifically the choreo team that put more than 280 dancers on the big screen. Many of them for the very first time I’d like to add, I genuinely don’t have words, which for those of you who listen a lot is, you know, is saying a lot. I don’t have words, um, to explain my gratitude or my pride in being a part of this project, but I will try to find them soon because an In the Heights choreo team episode is coming through the pipeline. So buckle up. It’s going to be so great. I’m very, very excited. I hope I have more adequate words to explain the way I feel about this project. And of course, we’ll be talking a little bit about the process, but In the Heights is in the world. That’s my win. Please go see it and share this, win with me. Um, if you’ve seen it, then heck that can be your win too. But if you haven't seen it, I’m dying to hear what is going well in your world. It’s your turn. All right. Awesome. Congratulations. I’m so glad that you are winning. Now. Let’s dig into this Tyce Diorio Ooh, where do I begin? Tyce is a force to be reckoned with on the dance floor and also in the business. But as you’re about to find out that is balanced with tremendous kindness, a gentleness that is difficult to find in this industry and also an appreciation for the simple things like, you know, genuine human connection and friendship. So for those reasons, this episode is strong, but also super, super soft. And you will 100% on a stick around for the laugh at

Classic, iconic, if you love (or honestly even if you hate) musical theatre, casting decisions, or *choices* we cannot recommend this movie enough. What's more meta than a documentary about the audition process for a Broadway show about audition processes? Is there any element of A Chorus Line that we actually enjoy? How does a show even make it to Broadway in the first place? What makes a perfect Oscars acceptance speech? And why oh why does Nastacia wear that wig to the final auditions?! Look, we may have melted down a bit in this episode but we DID get to finally share our many, many thoughts about Tyce Diorio!

For Season 2 I am changing it up and basically becoming a traveling journalist...no big deal. Today of all dayzzzz I am in the hizzzouse of my amazing friend, Mason Cutler in Topanga Canyon. You may recognize Mason from the “Higher Love” music video or seen him on tour with Taylor Swift, Demi Lavoto, or Shaping Sound. Maybe you saw him as a principal dancer on the sandy beaches of Teen Beach Movie or when he claimed his jock role of Colt Channing in Teen Beach 2! His fusion of contemporary and hip hop dance styles have given him opportunities to work with with many world renowned choreographers in the industry such a Kenny Ortega, Margueritte Derricks, Chris Scott, Tyce Diorio, Tony Testa to name a few.I would describe Mason’s style as Mason. He is one of a kind. He is a mover, part mer-man and creative extraordinaire. Over the last few years, he has submerged himself into music. Writing and creating his own music. He performs and also teaches master classes set to his own music. I am so proud and inspired by him all the time. This is one my sweetest chit chats yet because Mase is such a good one!
