Embodying Empress 2

In part 2 of Embodying Empress, dancer and author, Alexandra Beller, and Blood Moon Radio host, Coraley Letcher, discuss the art, and responsibility, of teaching; creative practice as social critique, personal expression, and, and something that often evolves beyond its original intention; and what the stories we tell about ourselves and others mean within the container of the human experience. Alexandra reflects on her forthcoming book, The Anatomy of Art, and the difference between creating live performance art versus the static work of published writing. As if on cue, The Empress card was pulled during the episode's reading —reflecting the season, the conversation, and Alexandra herself. This episode explores: ✧ why we do the work we do — and whether we are in the right work ✧ community and our roles within it ✧ creative practice: intention, execution, and outcome ✧ finding your voice, and accepting that not everyone will resonate with it ✧ storytelling as both a useful tool and something to hold with care ✧ meaning making and lived experience This is the final special guest episode of season one. Our final episode will be a solo reflection tying together the themes and conversations explored throughout The Empress Rising.
