It was so wonderful to have Stephanie on the podcast.  In the Room hosts Dorian and Michael had the chance to read in Stephanie's most recent project Saying A Mouthful, which we will be able to post as raw recordings from the reading.  We are heartbroken to say that a chunk of the first half of the recording was lost to a corrupt SD card, and we will only have our memories and tiny snippets of that conversation remaining.  From the conversation that remains you can hear that Stephanie had lots to talk about with us, and we enjoyed getting the tables turned when she starts interviewing us by the end of the podcast.  Future projects with Stephanie will no doubt have to be undertaken.  Stay tuned to your neighbourhood interweb for more on what Stephanie Yee is bringing to the world!

In The Room Podcast Episode 3 - Stephanie Yee

The long anticipated full episode of the podcast on Xara Choral Theatre!  We had some smaller conversations posted leading up to Xara's performance of Tales of the Old North, but here we got to sit down with Christina and Claire for a larger conversation about Xara's process.  As with the other conversations, we end off with some life advice for all, so check out that at the end of the podcast.  We're very much looking forward to Xara's next project, and no doubt you will as well once you're done listening to the podcast.

We originally edited out Stephanie's description of a moth podcast.  We have since reconsidered that -- since we set out to include entire conversations in long form.  Would that we had left it in the first time!  Here it is for your listening pleasure.

We were so happy to have Sara Coffin on our podcast, and we are looking forward to having Sara's Co-artistic Director at Mocean Dance, Susanne Chui on next.  Sara had lots to talk about regarding her creative process, stories from a NY dance production of There Might be Others, and plans for post-apocalyptic scenarios.  Looking forward to all the dance events Sara is holding in the next month!

Episode 7 Sara Coffin

So glad to have the second half of Mocean Dance on our podcast!  We went from having no dancers, to having two dancers.  Susanne and Oscar were great to talk with, and much of the interview is impacted by the presence of a 12-week old.  Susanne was able to talk about how parenthood has impacted her perspective on dance and her creative process.  Mocean dance is having free dance lessons at the Halifax public library, so join us there until the end of April, and check out Susanne's dance message that she'll be reading at the Central Library on Friday April 29th.

Episode 8 Oscar And Susanne Chui

On this episode we chat with Dustin Harvey, founder of Secret Theatre.  Dustin is a man who loves audio and the possibilities it offers.  We are lucky  to have Dustin as a fan of the podcast, and we were delighted to have him and HalifaxNow livestream the podcast.  We're several days behind the livestream, but hope you enjoy this record-length episode. Stay tuned for a future second episode with Dustin, where we may just stream while racing cars.
