January 27, 2026Episode 18: Dans le Rien: Moving Through the Nothingness
What happens when you find yourself in le rien—the nothingness between what was and what’s next? In this episode, I reflect on the meaning of dans le rien, where the phrase comes from, and how to navigate creative and personal liminal space without rushing to fill it. This is a gentle, honest conversation about staying present, trusting the pause, and allowing clarity to emerge in its own time.

January 13, 2026Episode 16: When Your Body Betrays You
This episode is a conversation about what happens when the body you built your art around changes—through injury, illness, aging, or circumstances you didn’t choose. I share my cancer experience and how it forced me to adapt my aerial practice, not as a cautionary tale, but as a reality almost every aerialist will face at some point. This isn’t about pushing through at all costs—it’s about longevity, grief, adaptation, and learning how to stay in the air when your body rewrites the rules.

As the year winds down, I’m taking time to reflect on what I accomplished, what challenged me, and what I’m calling in next. In this episode, I share my goals for the coming year and my word of the year—abundance—as a guiding intention for how I want to move forward.

December 16, 2025 Episode 12: Why I Hate The Nutcracker (and Why It’s Time for Something New)
It’s Nutcracker season… so let’s talk about it.
In this episode of The Aerial Alchemist, Fallon breaks down why The Nutcracker has become an outdated and creatively limiting tradition — from its messy origin story to the cultural stereotypes baked into many productions today. We talk about why certain sections no longer sit right, how this ballet has come to dominate December stages, and what that dominance costs the dance world.
This episode is an invitation to imagine something different: winter performances that are inclusive, intentional, and reflective of the many holidays and cultures celebrated this time of year.
