The Body Remembers: Art and Trauma, with Shaun Leonardo | Ultradilute Podcast


Listen Later

Artist and Arts Leader Shaun Leonardo joins Roddy Schrock to discuss how creative practice reveals the body's intelligence and capacity for transformation. Leonardo's decade of work with incarcerated individuals and trauma survivors has led him to a radical premise: certain experiences cannot be processed through language alone. His methodology strips away narrative to reveal the essential gestures that carry our deepest truths—what he calls the "choreography of how we've learned to move in reaction to what happened to us." 

We also explore the extractive nature of arts institutions, sustainable rhythms for creative workers, and what organizational health might look like when human needs are centered. Leonardo, co-director of Socrates Sculpture Park, offers insights from both sides of the creative ecosystem. "We have to see and analyze the impact in the body. There are certain experiences that can't be articulated through verbal language." 

For those drawn to natural healing, Leonardo's approach reveals timeless principles: creating safe containers for transformation, honoring individual rhythms, and trusting the body's innate wisdom—principles that reveal why both artists and healers have always known: the body remembers what the mind cannot hold.
