Episode 2 - Stazia Ritch on Support Systems, Teaching versus Personal Practice, and Work-Life Balance

In Episode 2 of Conversations for the Moving Self, I’m joined by my childhood dance best friend, Stazia Ritch. We begin by reflecting on our friendship—how it’s grown across distance and through the many chapters of life.From there, our conversation moves into the dance between teaching and personal practice: how they intertwine, support each other, and yet remain distinctly separate. We also explore how stepping more fully into being human can deepen and sustain a creative career. Along the way, we talk about finding work–life balance, the ways the body carries memory, and much more.
