Ep 26, Artist Talks: Natasha Adorlee

Natasha Adorlee is an Emmy Award winning choreographer, filmmaker, composer, and creative leader based in San Francisco. Working primarily in contemporary ballet, her practice exists at the intersection of movement, light, and cinematic space, integrating influences from street dance, film language, music, and technology to create emotionally rigorous and visually architectural works for the stage and screen. Her work is defined not only by choreography, but also by the total environments she constructs, where pacing, atmosphere, and embodiment shape how audiences feel time, tension, and release. A first generation Asian American woman, Natasha's work is deeply informed by questions of inheritance, memory, displacement, and endurance.

In this episode we cover:

1. "The art chooses you!"

3. Putting together the right team to support creativity
