Episode Synopsis "Creativity, Polarity, and Suspending Disbelief"

In our introductory episode of The Artist Arena Podcast, we dive deep into how the Covid-19 pandemic challenged and shifted our relationship between self and creative practice. We discuss how society has quickly shifted into polarizing and black-and-white thinking. We examine how dance is a powerful medium that challenges this, bringing us closer to understanding difference, embracing it, and finding and developing third spaces of thought, and lastly, how Jeffrey Davis's theory of Radical Openness and the concept of Suspending Disbelief can work together to help us find new solutions and engage in innovative creativity.
