Today I sat down for a heart to heart conversation with Joan Cleville, the artistic director of the Scottish Dance Theatre. The Scottish Dance Theatre is one of the leading contemporary dance companies in our field, and Joan has done pioneering work in creating a healthy working environment that places the dancers wellbeing above all.
In today's episode we cover the following:
* the common mistakes that lead to a negative working environment.
* how to turn things around when the ambiance in the studio turns more and more negative.
* in which ways do we need to show up so that the ambiance in the studio is positive.
All of this is such a crucial conversation to have. oftentimes we feel like we have to suffer in order to grow, that we have to be in a negative environment to 'push ourselves' to improve and grow. Nothing can be furthest from the truth. You CAN grow in a healthy working environment so much more. in fact, when you feel safe, your nervous system is much more available for learning. So don't accept negative working environments as an essential part of dancing. Let's move mountains, let's change that together.
