Life Through the Lens of Dance (w/ Jhelan Gordon-Salaam)

from A Little for the World · host Darrell

What would I do if I couldn't fail? This is the question I've come to ponder and dwell after this conversation. Jhelan Gordon-Salaam is a choreographer, movement artist, teacher, fellow deep feeler, and fellow reader who I've gotten the chance to meet during my time spent in Philadelphia. The two of us go beneath the surface and comb through the ways in which Dance has infused itself into our personal worlds and even return to the earlier tender places where it all began. With our very different experiences and timelines, we both come together to provide each other with perspective and support in reclaiming what our journeys mean, and sift through the different lenses that the art form provides.
