Carmel, IN – May 13, 2024 – This week, The Omnibus Show welcomes Olivia Payton, Director of Social Media, for The Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre. Tune in as Payton explains the many hats she wears, as well as what the dance theatre is all about. She’ll share the exciting new shows coming up, as well as give her advice to aspiring dancers, and anyone who has a goal, like dancing, in life.

Payton is now the Director of Social Media, as well as an instructor, for The Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre. She actually started as a dancer herself. Hear about the rather ‘picky’ situation Payton found herself in as she started her dance career, and how that developed into her dancing from here to New York and back again.

Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre is the resident professional dance company at The Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, Indiana. They perform at The Tarkington Theater. The founder, Gregory Hancock, brings a unique perspective to the shows he chooses to put on. The shows highlight international cultures, diversity, and creativity, and they reach out to a wide variety of people. Payton pointed out the diversity of the shows presented – everything from a murder mystery ballet to a modern take on Exodus from the Old Testament.

Payton offered her outlook on what Gregory Hancock is all about: “I always tell people, it’s like when you go into someone’s home, it’s like you learn a lot about someone if you look at their music and their books.” Looking at the shows presented, it is clear to see the values and art that Gregory Hancock is sharing with the community.

The dance theatre does large shows, like those at The Tarkington, but also smaller pieces at their home theatre, The Florence, also located in Carmel. It is here where their next show, The Mélange Series, will take place. This is an improv series where the audience will experience art coming to life in front of their eyes. It features a musician, a dancer, and a visual artist. Payton will fill the role of the dancer in the next of this series, which takes place May 18 and 19.

“She (the musician) has the blueprint for everything. So, she knows what she’s singing. The dancer, myself, doesn’t know anything. So, I get to walk in and improv.” Payton goes on, “In front of all these people, I hear the music for the first time, which is a very unique experience.”

On June 7 and 8, Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre will close out their 26th season with Saga’s and Superstitions.

May 6, 2024 - This week, The Omnibus Show welcomes back Jeff Worrell. Worrell is the at-large Carmel City Councilman, now in his third term in office.

In episode 9, when Worrell originally appeared on The Omnibus Show, he discussed his life, experiences, and being in office. Tune in to today’s episode to hear Worrell’s summary of the focus in Carmel in the past few months and going forward, as well as his new series of community talks on civility and why this has become such a focus for him.

In the first half of today’s show, Worrell discusses the Elevate Carmel Plan – the items new Mayor Finkam would like to accomplish in office. One of those things is figuring out housing in Carmel with the assistance of the Housing Task Gorce. The mayor has several other items on task such as doing a full audit of Carmel’s debt and doing a full review of the Universal Development Regulations. The UDO are what we live and breathe by and abide by – such as the size limitations of homes, renting out homes, speed limits in roundabouts, curbs, and more - the things that guide the residents and keep them safe.

In his government position, Worrell is working to ‘gel’ with the new mayor and the other councilmen, six of whom are new. He is advocating for the mayor who is bringing new, fresh ideas to the table.

Worrell’s other exciting focus right now is on Civility. After being inspired by the book The Soul of Civility by Alexandra Hudson, Worrell began working with her and has started a series of talks in various locations around Carmel.

Worrell explains how he was moved by the subtitle, “Timeless Principles to Heal Society and Ourselves,” and how he believes these talks on sharing civility will lead to not only local healing and better

interactions, but then can spread into more national and international challenges – like this year’s election.

“The goal is to start talking about civility, define civility, make sure everybody knows what it means to be civil,” shares Worrell. “Then try and foster a culture of being more civil. We’re going to disagree. We’re going to fight to the death to try and convince each other. But at the end, could we still go have, as Tip O’Neill and Ronald Reagan did, could we still go have a cigar and bourbon? That’s what I’m looking for.”

His first talk was standing room only, proving many in the community feel the same way Worrell does.
