What is Spotlight in PURPLE: The Podcast?
Sydnie L. Mosley Dances (SLMDances) presents Spotlight in PURPLE, a podcast that shines a light on themes and questions in our creative work PURPLE, through virtual and analog experiences.
PURPLE is a multi-project universe that illuminates the power of “deep sisterhood for social change” through storytelling and movement. This sisterhood is how we thrive: we invest in one another, we honor and celebrate each other's brilliance, and we hold ourselves accountable to experiencing radical joy.
The podcast is an offering of poetry, music, mindfulness, and an invitation to join our story circle.
We invite you to listen to this offering as a way to care for yourself. Find a comfortable seat, grab a cup of something warm and delicious, inhale, exhale, and enjoy.
