We’ve talked a lot about many different performing arts types except for dance and so today we’re correcting that oversight. Joan Brodsky and Sallie Werst, from the New Hampshire Dance Collaborative, come to the YMCA like digs of the WKXL studios to talk about the work the NHDC does. Their mission "is to make dance a more well understood, accessible and utilized art form” and they break down exactly what the heck that means. We talked about the Accelerator program, their grant making “…that not only provides financial support to dance artists but also expands opportunities for them…”, their collaboration with Canterbury Shaker Village, tKapow, the Currier Gallery of Art and the 3S Artspace just to name drop a few you may know. To date NHDC has hosted more than 20 collaborative performances throughout New Hampshire. Their Instagram account is nothing if not breathtaking. Great, great episode.

Yes we’re talking about artisan craft shows today. Believe it or not there are artists that exist outside our performing arts circles and today we highlighting them! Jody Donohue, from Great New England Craft & Artisan Shows, drops by to chat up what’s happening in her artisan craft events and I’m very glad that she did. My wife and I absolutely love going to them to see the ingenuity and creativity that is always on display. Jody and I talk about some of best and some of the worst ideas that cross her path as well as show dates, venues and soooooo much more!

It was another "One Hit Wonder Wednesday" on the program as we featured songs from the 1970's and 80's from performers and groups that had only one hit record on the Billboard charts. There will be another "One Hit Wonder Wednesday" on November 27th so reach out to us if you have any requests.
