  Send us a textThis episode is by request, from my woman Rebecca, who asked, "When you're creating a larger piece of work (i.e. something longer than the standard 3-5 minutes), at what point do you ask others for feedback? At a rough draft phase or more of a pre-final phase?

• Episode 129: "I HATE setting choreography!" or Product based vs. Process based work

  Send us a textWhat you'll hear:Me yammering on about vacuuming up leaves from the yard, and the shedding habits of live oak trees Announcing my artist-in-residence-ness at ARC Take 2 Studios to show in a double billing on June 20th at Queen Street Playhouse 2:12A caretaking update on my dear ole dad's hip replacement surgery 4:00The Charleston Artists Salon took place this past Sunday, and it was dynamite.  If you want to start one in your area I talked about the process I used to create it here in Episode 100, around the 7 minute mark until the 12 minute mark. 5:00If you're local to Charleston and want to learn about future Charleston Artists Salons, please go here and sign up so I can let you know about it!  Product vs. Process based work, wtf is the difference 6:45How I realized we needed to talk about this, a lot of my students don't want to set choreography 13:35I think the answer lies in WHY we feel resistant to setting choreography (taking this route as it's often a "problem" I hear about)  16:45Is the resistance gremlin territory, or is it genuinely counter to your zone of genius?  One way to know if you're in gremlin territory or not is to see if your process of creating is counter intuitive to your objectives 18:30Don't go back to sleep.xoRachelSign up here for monthly blasts and functional wooFind me on InstagramSupport this podcast on Patreon
