Sarah's Space

I was honoured to share this podcast with my beloved Mama....she is truly one of the big reasons I am able to live the life I have been. We delve into the way things were (and share quite a few laughs in the process) and muse on the way things are......

An in-depth conversation with the beautifully vibrant, intelligent and talented Eva Tavares. Sharing laughter as well as details of her exciting life as a musical theatre star and the interesting way this profoundly engaging human found her way to the International stage!

A lively conversation with an older student who has lived his life as a performer so richly, so openly and with such joy. Listen in as Brett shares his experiences with dance and life.

In my post-hiatus return to podcasting, I unpack the meaning of mentorship and how important care of student/mentor relationships is....

A slight retrospective of my summer experiences as well as some thoughts on potential in the dance world.

After a personally tempestuous July, I share the thoughts, experiences and reflections that were the result.....as well as the beautiful feeling that travelling to Haida Gwaii brought to me and my family.

The wonderful dancers of my 2019 workshop share their thoughts on the dance world, their studio dynamics, their futures and what being a dancer means to them.

Elissa and I share another conversation, this time about gratitude, amongst many other things.....and the time together is filled with laughter and thought-provoking moments.

Elissa returns and we share a laughter-filled time discussing everything from making mistakes to being open to alternative healing.

In the second visit with some recently graduated students, they share candid, poignant stories and feelings about what it is like to navigate being a teenager in the current time period.

My first group podcast, where beautiful young humans discuss their own experiences in the dance world and what they feel it means to their futures....

I discuss how overwhelming and all-encompassing stress can be, affecting everything from our health to the way we see the world. I share my own tools to deal with the stresses of life, suggesting some positive directions to head when feeling that familiar tightening of your neck muscles!

I speak to the profound lack of ethics I see appearing among some of the humans I have known in my world as well as the way we commodify human relationships.

A dear former student, Sarah Formosa, joins me for a conversation about becoming a professional dancer and the choices she has made along the way...and how rewarding her path has been.

My dear friend Heidi shares with me her experiences as a dance mom, an educator, a lover of higher learning and a proud First Nations person.

In a humorous vein, I vent about the use of "like" in the current English language as well as express my opinion on my new social media relationship.

In this first solo episode I have chosen the subject of choices. Making informed choices vs emotionally based choices, making choices for the right reasons and making sure we allow others to truly make choices for themselves so that we may have the same freedom.

Episode 9- "Sarah's Space"- Partners, Parenting and Patience! by Sarah's Space

In this episode I share my own journey to my current sense of self as well as sharing some anecdotal explorations along the way!

A subject I feel very strongly about....taking care of yourself when injured, healing or feeling susceptible. Not letting the person “in charge” tell you what is ok to do with your body when in pain. Who to turn to for support and proper advice when injured. Knowing that it’s YOU in charge of your body at the end of the day.

Elissa and I talk about giving of oneself freely without compromising our sense of self or sense of confidence. Allowing people to be how they need to be without letting them treat us poorly. How to stay centred in the maelstrom of human interactions.

Episode 5 explores the challenge of existing comfortably within a "traditional" power dynamic relationship, what being a "team player" means to me as well as a few other ways to relate to each other......

A look at my experience within long term relationships of all kinds and what I think is needed to make them work successfully.

How do we look after ourselves, and what does that mean in a daily setting. How our differences inform our “personal plan” for health.

Elissa asks me the "why" behind my teaching methods and we both delve into the beauty of learning with sharing at the core.
