Episode 19: Akeisha de Baat - What Resilience Means as a Dancer, Athlete and Artist
Manage episode 313494263 series 3273128
Akeisha de Baat is contemporary dance artist turned online fitness enthusiast for dancers, based in Vancouver, Canada. She loves to create new works, self produce shows, and encourage other artists to go after their dreams. We talk about Akeisha's unusual path through dance, starting with roots in traditional Polynesian dancing as a link to her family, carrying the history of different dance styles in her body, her love of countertechnique and what it is exactly, plus we talk a lot about being a dancer as an artist versus an athlete. For non-dancers, we also talk a lot about processes that are applicable to all. For example, what resilience means and not only what it is to be a resilient dancer, but a resilient artist, how an injury forced her to take a break and how taking a pause can effect the creative process, and her interest in energy and the law of attraction.
