Description

This week we are joined by intrepid choreographer Jera Wolfe to talk about his most recent creation — a dance film called "Soul" for the National Ballet of Canada — and get a behind-the-scenes look at the genesis of this profound piece. We talk about his rise to success, the unique blend of experiences that add to his choreographic vocabulary, and get some stories from his time as a finalist on So You Think You Can Dance Canada. Lastly, we close with a conversation on the state of Indigenous representation in the arts in Canada, and hear what it has been like for Jera to re-discover his Métis heritage.Check out "Soul" on NBoC's youtube here:https://youtu.be/So9_pPS1rzoHost: Kealan McLaughlinGuest: Jera Wolfe@JeraWolfehttps://www.jerawolfe.com/Two Two Guys can be reached at:Instagram and Facebook:@twotwoguysEmail:twotwoguyspod@gmail.comLeave a review!
