Number 1: Ep. #16 Serious Silliness with Kat Burns
Plainly put, Kathryn Burns is fascinating. The only thing that is more exciting than her choreography, is the work she did before she even owned the title “2 Time Emmy Winning Choreographer”. From a post production machine room to UCB and beyond, we hear about how she learned by DOING, and what it takes to do what she does. Over 160 episodes of scripted TV is just the beginning… Show Notes Quick Links: Kat Burns WTMM Patreon UCB My Crazy Ex Audition Submission Raggle Taggle Dance Hour Totally Unmorganized The Dance Room Transcript: Intro: This is words that move me, the podcast where movers and shakers like you get the information and inspiration you need to navigate your creative career with clarity and confidence. I am your host, master mover, Dana Wilson. And if you're someone that loves to learn, laugh, and is looking to rewrite the starving artist story, then sit tight. But don't stop moving because you're in the right place. Dana: Hello. Hello, hello. Hello. How are you doing? How's everybody? Man, if you are like me, then these days are going by so quickly. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's, I'm just being inside and so many days are the same. Um, maybe it's that I'm filling my schedule every minute of it. Uh, but it's strange, this sensation of time passing and standing still all at the same time. Maybe it's just me. I don't know. Um, this episode, ah, I'm so excited for it. I'm so excited for you to listen to my guest today. Kat Burns. She's one of my favorite well people period, but also one of my favorite choreographers and she shares so much, um, tremendously valuable insight in this episode. I'm jazzed about it. Uh, but before that, of course we have to do a quick round of wins. My win this week is that I am becoming a person, day by day, meal by meal. Uh, I am becoming a person that is confident in the kitchen. I'm having more fun and I'm having more creative freedom in the kitchen. And I think that's a win. It's something that for me has always been a kind of point of insecurity. Um, my husband traditionally is the cook of the household and I'm having so much fun, uh, exploring a bit, really digging that. Okay, so now you go, what's going well in your world? You might need a little bit more time. So I encourage you to pause right here if you're really, really winning, which I really, really hope you are. Um, but this episode is just, it's something else we gotta get to it. We're jumping in. Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only Kat Burns. Dana: Yes. Kat Burns. Welcome to the podcast. Kat: Yeah! Yeah! Oh, I love wees and woo hoos and yeas, it feels so good. Just smile

This episode is a good one. If I do say so myself, although I guess I am pretty biased, but let's get into it. Starting off with wins. I'm very proud of my win this week because it was a big challenge but a very worthy one. My husband and I shipped over 200 reusable face shields directly to the doctors and the hospitals that need them the most. I'm super proud and if you are interested in how you might be able to, uh, help in a similar way or if you're interested in helping my husband and I should we decide to do a repeat effort, then go ahead and send me a direct message @danadaners on Instagram. Very much looking forward to hearing from you. Okay. So that's my win. Now you go, what's going well in your world? Oh wait. Okay. Killer. I'm so glad you're winning. Congratulations. Now speaking of winning, I finally got to sit down with my two seaweed sisters. It's okay if you don't know what that means yet cause you're about to, um, these two women are probably my biggest influences and I'm just thrilled to share some of what, uh, we, we dug up and dug into. So I hope you enjoy this conversation with Jillian Myers and Megan Lawson, my seaweed sisters. Dana: I can't think of a better day than this rainy day to invite my two favorite people, Megan Lawson and Jillian Myers, my seaweed sisters to be podcasts sisters today.

Dana: Hey buddy, how are you doing today? I hope this finds you well. I hope this finds you healthy and if you're not, I hope that this podcast brings you a tiny bit of hope, at least a handful of words of wisdom and maybe even a chuckle at some point. Okay. I got a lot of great feedback about starting every episode with wins. So here we go. My first win is that I made a delicious dinner thanks to Megan Lawson, her mom Sue and Sue's mom, Jeanie Cole, Jeanie Cole. That recipe warmed my soul. Thank you so much. Um, also, let's see. Um, Oh yeah, the seaweed sisters had a very fun virtual, um, super friends build a dance zoom conference call with 15 friends. Um, that we thought would take 40 minutes, which was cute cause we actually wound up dancing for two hours altogether in this big zoom conference. It was hysterical. It was great. It will absolutely happen again. All the friends all over the world get ready. For those of you that don't know the seaweed sisters, by the way, you will soon stay tuned. Okay, and now this one, this is a big one. Speaking of sisters, I teamed up with my sister in law who happens to be a ridiculously talented illustrator. She's the one that did the podcast logo for me. So yeah, real good reaaal good. Her name is Bree Reetz and I really suggest that you give her a follow on Instagram at B. R. E. E. dot. R. E. E. T. Z. She's so lucky. All those double E's. Anyways, together we have built a few tools for you listeners out there. One of them is what we're calling the words that move me weekly worksheets. They are digital worksheets that come with every episode and they're designed to help you process and apply specific topics from the episode. And we created a words that move me doing daily diary for all of you daily doers out there because managing a daily or even a weekly creative project as I'm learning thanks to the podcast can be really, really challenging. So this PDF is what I wish I had when I was doing my daily dances on Instagram for a year and they are designed to basically help you organize and track your progress and sort of help self evaluate. Um, I'm really jazzed about both of them. Both of them can be found on the words that move me Patreon you are only able to access these PDFs when you become a words that move me member. And the way that you do that is by going to patreon.com/WTMMpodcast and find all the different awesome, cool perks and ways that you can become a member. Okay, great. That does it for my wins. Now it's your turn. Cue the funky music. Okay. Oh r
