Our second episode, recorded in early January 2021, is an interview with Luiza about her journey as a teacher and an artist as she's moved outside institutional frameworks and developed her DIY approach to teaching (from contemporary dance, to tarot, to language). We talk about how she has come to see teaching as a radical, creative practice as she's grown into her methods, the way she understands herself to be in process alongside her students, and the commitment and risk of teaching being a conversation.
