The Loud Whisper Takeover

The documentation of the "behind-the-scenes" can have a massive impact on the distribution of a film, or creative project! Capturing the essence of the "behind-the-scenes" is planned in bigger productions, yet often omitted in small scale productions due to the lack of ressources. 

How can we leverage, organise, get excited, and build community throughout the whole process of sharing the "behind-the-scenes" of our movies and theater pieces?

In this episode, we welcome Yves Ruth, a multi-talented artist based in Belgium, whose journey from dancer to producer offers invaluable insights. I invited Yves after reflecting deeply on the critical moments I missed in documenting the BTS in my early career. 

Yves Ruth takes us through his experience of working on "BXL The Movie" as a producer, and the meticulous effort that went into managing artists and producing this feature film. He had a crucial role in planning a creative way of filming the making off of this movie. We also explore strategies for securing funding and maintaining behind-the-scenes enthusiasm over the long haul.

Est-ce que votre corps de danseur a tout ce dont il a besoin pour être prêt pour partir en tournée, face faire à un spectacle intense, ou donner cours de manière régulière? 

Cindy Claes, danseuse / chorégraphe / actrice d'action, a traversé de nombreux défis au niveau de sa santé, dont un problème de surpoids qui m'arrivait pas à être résolu par les médecins. Suite à une crise de vie, un accompagnement d'un coach  extraordinaire, une remise en question profonde se met en place par rapport à la nutrition. C'est l'étude de la nutrition sportive qui a permis à Cindy a transformer son corps et a donné un nouvel élan à sa carrière d'artiste-athlète.

Dans cet épisode vous apprendrez à différencier la fatigue mentale de la fatigue physique, une nuance cruciale pour adapter votre nutrition en fonction de vos activités. En ajustant votre apport en protéines, lipides et glucides de manière stratégique, vous pourrez non seulement améliorer vos performances en tant que danseur, mais aussi prolonger la longévité de votre carrière!

Enfin, nous abordons des stratégies saines et efficaces pour perdre du poids sans compromettre votre santé ni votre bien-être mental. Une perte de poids à court terme suivie d'une alimentation de maintien est la clé pour éviter des régimes draconiens. Les principes sont si simples, mais souvent mal expliqués.

Cindy, qui a un long parcours dans la danse Hiphop, Dancehall, et Krump, et qui aujourd'hui en tant que artiste-athlète surmonte tous ses challenges professionnels en tant qu'actrice d'action (Krav Maga, combat de scène, luttes chorégraphiées pour le cinéma, etc), vous partage son savoir.

Our host and action actress Cindy Claes has been on an intense Krav Maga (self-defense) journey. Initially training to perfect her fighting skills for the camera, it soon evolved into a transformative experience of emotional resilience. Many questions started to arise. She experienced tears in the training sessions, as well as a huge amount of love.

Join our conversation with Sergej Krivoruchko as we unravel the profound and unexpected connections between his Krav Maga journey and his new life in Bulgaria: a quest of calming the nervous system. How can Krav Maga and self-defense go beyond physical safety to become a journey of emotional healing and personal growth?

Sergej, founder of Authentic Bulgaria, shares his compelling story of finding security and safety within, first through Krav Maga and then by moving to Bulgaria. After running a Krav Maga club in Knokke, he left the busy bubbling cities of Belgium (or the concrete jungles as he calls it), and is now on a mission to create safe environments by taking people on tours in the wonders of Bulgaria.

Our conversation focuses on the calming of the nervous system, the finding of a community we belong to, and our body sensations when getting out of our comfort zones. Krav Maga and Sergej's new life in Bulgaria share this importance of needing to feel secure both physically and emotionally. Sergej's journey of belonging in a new society is a very special and mindful one.
