Because this is my 20th official conversation on the podcast, it seems fitting that the artist I am speaking with is not only a dear friend and someone I have worked with in the past, but the woman who sparked the idea for this entire thing to begin with. Natalia Fernandes planted the seed of exploring deep process in my mind in 2015 when she directed a solo that I choreographed as a part of The Oldest Thing in the World. In this episode, we spoke openly and joyfully in Natalia\\u2019s cozy apartment in the center of Madrid. We talk about a wide variety of things relating to the real work behind the work, but namely Natalia\\u2019s dance history and how she brings all of her references to her work, what it means to choose to the life of an artist, the body as a constant and natural fluid process, the big questions we all ask in our work, why the world needs more poetry, on discipline and repetition, and how we define being radical.
