Mindful Grooving

Annnnnd we're back with another Minisode! In this Mindful Groove, Brittany leads you through a breath work practice called, Three-Part Breath. This breath work is a valuable tool for when you need to hit pause and let go of some tension. Set aside the distractions and find a comfortable seat. Let's get you breathing deeper and fuller! 

Greetings!

Brit and Sara interview singer, songwriter, composer, producer, educator, and dancer, Hope Littwin! We dig into a conversation about creative process, storytelling, healing through art, as well as Hope's latest single, 'Hollow.'  

Follow us on Instagram @MindfulGrooving for all the latest! 

About Hope:

Hope grew up in dance and theater before she took to music, first as a singer songwriter then as an opera singer then as a composer and music producer. She loves to collaborate with artists of all kinds on big, daring, expressive works. She currently lives in Chicago, IL where she produces music from her home studio, plays her various instruments, writes songs and teaches composition and music production.

Words from Hope:

"I am an intellectual nomad and an energetic creative who operates best in large scale collaborative works with choreographers, directors, film makers and visual artists in creating lyric neo-mythologies for the contemporary stage and screen." My work is expansive and visceral, inspired by the harmonies of renaissance vocal works, songwriters of the 60s, improvisation in jazz and the futuristic world of music tech."

"This country doesn't use educational institutions to educate young artists on the healing & connective power of art, only teach them about art as a key to some kind of impossible to reach systemic 'success'... YET somehow, WE ALWAYS COME BACK TO OUR OWN CREATIVE TRUTH TO HEAL, TO LOVE, TO CONNECT, TO LIVE.... It is our nature and our life line!" - Yara Travieso
