About this episode

Wendy Rogers shares her journey as a dancer and choreographer, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and relationships in dance.

What if dance isn't just about movement but also about the people who move with you through life? In this reflective episode, dancer, choreographer, and teacher Wendy Rogers joins the show to tell us all about her career and how collaboration guided her creative voice. Wendy's story is deeply rooted in experimentation, resilience, and the profound kinship shared between dancers. Tuning in, you'll hear about Wendy's early life and the struggles that shaped her, her dance education and how those formative years defined her career, the different projects and collectives she was a part of, and the transformative experiences that she had through dance. We explore and honor the wisdom of older, more experienced dancers before discussing what it means to keep learning and evolving across decades of practice. Wendy speaks about a life-altering incident that changed her relationship to her body and helped her step into her identity as a dancer. Our guest even delves into the birth of the Wendy Roger's Dance Company, the works she created, her years of teaching, and so much more!
