Wonderbound Ballet artistic director and choreographer Garrett Ammon has a long, successful history as a dancer, director and choreographer but his collaborations with Colorado rock bands are what drew me to Wonderbound's incredible work.

What happens when you get three Tennesseans on a podcast to talk comics together? They might ramble a bit but do yourself a favor and listen to my chat with comics creators Ryan Haddock and Nick Wyche. They have an amazing new younger readers book out from Wonderbound called The Brothers Flick: The Impossible Doors. I have not recorded another episode that hit me in the feels the way this one does. It's an incredibly touching backstory and a delightful book. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hey all, the CDB Crew is back with a regular episode after our short break. For this special episode, Darci chose the recently released, first volume of Verse by Sam Beck, published by Vault Comics on the Wonderbound imprint. If you are familiar with Beck's previous works, it will not come as a surprise about how great a read this is and how gorgeous it looks. We hope that we can convince you to pick up this under-the-radar masterpiece. That's not all that makes this episode special. We are introducing a new format all-together: we are adding in a new, ongoing segment, DIY Corner- where we will discuss comics that are being self-published, self-released online, and/or are being Crowd-Funded, while cutting back on our discussions and news segments.

For the inaugural DIY Corner, we talk about Dirruti: Shadow of the People, Hans Vogel is Dead, The Uncontrollable Wreck-Lass!, and Kardiakía: Stories of Representation: Queer Love and Fat Bodies. We also talk about Dune: A Whisper of Caladan Seas #1 by Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson, Jakub Rebelka, and Ed Dukeshire (BOOM); The Night Mother by Melanie Gillman; and A Righteous Thirst for Vengeance #1 by Rick Remender, André Lima Araújo, Chris O'Halloran, and Rus Wooton (Image) The Night Mother can be found here: https://melgillman.tumblr.com/post/664267309279576064/the-night-mother DIY Corner: Dirruti: Shadow of the People: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/autonomouscollective/durruti-shadow-of-the-people Hans Vogel is Dead: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/castironbooks/hans-vogel-is-dead-volume-i The Uncontrollable Wreck-Lass!: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/amoralstingray5/the-uncontrollable-wreck-lass?ref=profile_saved_projects_live Kardiakía Stories of Representation: Queer Love and Fat Bodies: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ehmautoproduzioni/kardiakia?ref=discovery_category Comics Deserve Better is a weekly podcast hosted by Brian, Carrie and Darci which covers the world of Independent Comics.

Stephanie knew throughout her dance career that she wanted an ambitious 2nd career outside the dance industry. While pursuing her degree through the LEAP program, a professor asked if she was considering a career in writing, based on her talents. She got started writing marketing copy at Lincoln Center while still performing at the Met Opera - traipsing between her desk and rehearsals. After landing a dream job at Wonderbound in Colorado, a career-ending injury forced her into Count 9, so she networked her way into newsrooms by leveraging her expertise covering the arts. Now she is an arts reporter at WFPL in Louisville KY, balancing breaking news with her love for covering the arts and a side projects producing the innovative DIY Dancer magazine.

In this week’s episode I speak with Clay Rose, singer, songwriter and frontman for the Colorado based Gasoline Lollipops.  We discuss Clay's hesitation of jumping into sold out post-COVID performances.  We delve into Clay’s tumultuous life and childhood; including his stay at a psychiatric facility as a teenager, his time on the road with his father, and his lifelong battle with drugs and alcohol.  We also discuss our sobriety, his friendship with Gregory Alan Isakov and the Gasoline Lollipops 5th studio record “All the Problems Money Can Buy.” Clay and I trade similar stories of our youth, navigating trauma and the punk rock pits of our hometowns. Clay’s story is both epic and tragic, but for now he has come out on the other side.  Please enjoy my honest and heartfelt conversation with Mr. Clay Rose.

Welcome to House of Comics #23! Slow week on the news side, but luckily, we’re a comic book podcast that reads the books and we ended up having a lot to talk about. On top of getting great issues from some of our favorite titles from the Big 2, we also got one of the best indie weeks of the year in our opinion. Between new books, new arcs, finales, and back issues, we talked about just about every genre/subgenre of comics you could think of without even realizing it. We pop around the industry for a few news topics, but the real topic of the day was yet another surge of high-quality indie titles that you should be adding to your pullist as you listen to this podcast.

We visit a recycling center to answer questions about what can be recycled and where all that cardboard, glass and paper ends up. Then, the Colorado Ballet, Wonderbound and Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble collaborate on a new show. Next, what Hickenlooper and Bennet did in Iowa this weekend. Finally, cannabis companies are vying to go public.

Dawn Fay (Producing Director, Wonderbound) "I think the big goal was to push the art forward, and that's still ongoing. That's never gonna stop. The complexity of it, of our shows, the fact that now we have bands like Chimney Choir or Ian Cooke or Jesse Manley and his band and even working with Tom Hagerman who wrote a new composition for the symphony. So that's the big thing for us, is that constantly pushing that envelope of new and constantly pushing the artists that we work with to keep notching up as we keep notching up is beyond." On this episode of Behind The Scene: Guest: Dawn Fay (Producing Director, Wonderbound) Official Site: wonderbound.com The song for this episode is called Lullaby and is by Tom Hagerman, one of Wonderbound's most frequent musical collaborators.

Witchcraftsy welcomes another witchy renaissance woman with today’s guest Kris Drickey of Chimney Choir. Not only is she a talented musician, Kris has created a donation-based yoga experience on Monday nights at Leon Gallery in Denver, she’s a skilled bodyworker and founder of Honeycomb Healing, and even finds time to… you know…COMPOSE A BALLET with Wonderbound in […] The post E10 – Singer Kris Drickey Voices in on Creating a Magical Life & Self-Care appeared first on Witchcraftsy.

with Ryan EstesCelestial Navigation > Get Tickets HereOCTOBER 13 – OCTOBER 22, 2017Garrett Ammon - Artistic DirectorBreaking Boundaries: Sci-Fi Meets Ballet and the Stars are the LimitWonderbound’s season opening production, Celestial Navigation, takes to the stars in a daring sci-fi adventure set to a new album by Ian Cooke BandPrepare for blast off, as Wonderbound launches it’s 2017-2018 season into space with Celestial Navigation. Set to brand new music by Ian Cooke Band, this sci-fi ballet follows a daring heroine as she travels the galaxy in an odyssey-esque adventure to rescue her kidnapped love.“I'm thrilled Wonderbound is opening its 2017-2018 season in collaboration with Ian Cooke Band,” said Wonderbound Artistic Director Garrett Ammon. “Ian's new album, THE FLIGHT I FLEW, is adventurous, heartfelt and quixotic and has provided the soundtrack to a new production that continues our tradition of creating accessible and surprising new dance for the Denver community.I was raised on Star Wars, Star Trek and Planet of the Apes, so creating a sci-fi ballet is a fantastic adventure that has captured my imagination. I hope it does the same for audiences.”

Ian Cooke is one of our favorite recurring guests in the CPR Performance Studio. Last month the Denver experimental folk artist made his fifth appearance at CPR's OpenAir to share music from his forthcoming LP "The Flight I Flew." Music from the record will serve as the soundtrack for Celestial Navigation, the new show from Denver dance group Wonderbound opening Oct. 13. Ian Cooke and his band -- featuring Tom Hagerman of DeVotchKa -- played three songs from "The Flight I Flew." Cooke also spoke with Alisha Sweeney about creating an "intimate" vibe on the new LP, writing a narrative that takes place in outer space and what it's like to see his music interpreted through dance.

Jesse Manley spent the past few years collaborating with Denver dance troupe Wonderbound. The Denver musician wrote music for five performances including "Dust," a piece on the Dust Bowl era of the 1930s. His songs reflect the folk and Americana music of that time. Manley and his band went on to record the music of "Dust" as an album, which they released last week. Prior to the album release show, Manley performed three songs from the record in the CPR Performance Studio. He also spoke with Jeremy Petersen about his history with Wonderbound, playing the Weissenborn slide guitar and reading up on the Dust Bowl for his latest work.

The members of Chimney Choir have defied genres and labels with their music since they got together in 2011. The Denver band blends folk, electronica, rock and even ballet music on last year's "Boomtown." Chimney Choir will release the album "(dream)" with an interactive live show at the Mercury Cafe on Saturday. The band stopped into the CPR Performance Studio beforehand to preview some music from the new LP. They talked with Alisha Sweeney about composing "sound collages," collaborating with the Denver dance troupe Wonderbound and what they have in store for their concert this weekend.

Electric cars are more attainable thanks to tax breaks in Denver, Boulder and Adams counties, raising questions for taxpayers who pay the bills. Then, as its its 150th anniversary nears, the Denver Press Club faces the challenges of the digital age. A collaboration between Wonderbound and Curious Theatre transports audiences back to the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. And, the inspiration for a new musical composition came from the Mother Cabrini Shrine in Golden, Colo.

Denver band Chimney Choir discusses their collaboration with Wonderbound on the new ballet 'Boomtown'. Learn how their entire creative process has been transformed, what they've learned about living and creating in Denver, and the latest details of their postponed-yet-still-forthcoming Dream album.

Rachael Kras discusses her work designing costumes for Wonderbound's newest production, Marie. Also joining the show, special guest co-host Meredith Strathmeyer.

Meredith Strathmeyer, Candice Bergeron, and Damien Patterson of Wonderbound stop by to discuss Winter, the newest collaborative production of the ballet company.

Sarah Tallman, dancer and choreographer for Wonderbound, sat down for an interview about her new piece prepared for the upcoming production Enduring Grace. Hear about Tallman's influences and creative process as well as the classical dance roots that underpin Wonderbound's modern take on dance, collaborative art and performance.

Denver-based singer-songwriter Jesse Manley joins to discuss his creative work in making folk music new again. From his collaborations with the modern ballet company Wonderbound on A Gothic Folktale to his continued work on his own live show, hear about how he is exploring early American folk, blues, and jazz music in all sorts of new collaborations.
