#8 – Expressing the Intangible with Muhammed Kaltuk


Listen Later

What’s your relationship with emotions? Are you able to articulate how you truly feel? Whether it’s joy, grief, love, anger, or confusion – emotions don’t always translate easily into words.


For choreographer and artistic director Muhammed Kaltuk (Muhi), dance has become the translator. Rather than forcing words onto feelings he doesn’t yet understand, he lets movement lead the way. Through dance, Muhi explores, expresses, and ultimately makes sense of the intangible.


In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • ​Muhi’s creative process: From first spark of inspiration to the final piece
  • ​How intuition, collaboration, and experimentation shape his artistry
  • ​The story behind his latest work, Same Love
  • ​Why embracing the unknown and adopting a beginner’s mindset can spark transformation
  • ​Thoughtful reflections and encouragement for anyone navigating a creative path

... and so much more!


If you’ve ever been overwhelmed by a feeling you couldn’t name, this conversation might just feel like coming home.
