Hello Everyone,
Today we will be talking about nerves as an artist. How to cope and deal with this as an artist who is under high pressure.
We will be focusing this episode on Janet Baker who was a renowned opera singer of the 20th century.
She was an amazing Soprano considered one of the greatest Opera Singers. Her problem was she had crippling stage freight. As a dancer, I found this inspiring, even the greats struggle with fear!
I thought this would help many of you to talk about in your own unique pursuit.
Let's discuss!

Hello Everyone,
You all know I am obsessed with ballet and mental health. Here in this episode, we will discuss what is is to build a culture in the studio, useful for students and teachers to know, even parents.
Talking about this may also highlight If the culture you are in within the studio is not aligned for positive results.
Along with this, what my personal mission and vision is for curating my own culture and what BWI is all about :-)
Let's discuss!

Hello Everyone!
Today we are going to be talking about performing without purpose. What does that look like? How do we stay motivated?
Turns out this could be one of the most useful skills you could ever have. This is why when athletes retire, or win the Olympics, something which is SO goal orientated, can trip them up. They end up depressed and lose site of who they are.
This is a skill that will teach your resilience, mental strength and self motivation!

COME TO AUSTRALIA
Hello Everyone!
Today I am joined by my amazing friend Suvi Honkanen, Say hello Suvi!
We are talking about Summer schools. Is this something we should be doing?
Do we all have to do this?
In Ballet we feel so much pressure to do everything by the book, do everything just as everyone else does and how society tells us.
Let's discuss why that's not true and you can still achieve your dreams whilst carving your own path!
