In this episode, Baxter sits down for a fascinating interview with Dr. Adam Dipert who is successfully spearheading an effort to explore dance in zero gravity. In this episode, Adam explains the many mind-blowing concepts and ideas of moving artistically in actual outer space and the surprising impacts in can (and will) have on the way we conceive of ourselves. Dr. Adam Dipert is a Particle and Astrophysicist, who is also a Co-Founder of Giant Leap, the first zero gravity dance company ever. He is also a flow and circus performer whose performances have been viewed over 1,000,000 times.

There is a video version of this podcast on Youtube, complete with old school photos and videos. You can find in on Facebook or on Youtube. Youtube: https://youtu.be/xZlPFfTaVfw I'm back! Ann Humphreys sits down with me in studio and flips the script by asking ME the questions. Over the podcast we discuss my life with music, how I got into dance, the HoopPath, blindfolded movement, how we met, and few other surprise topics. The conversation is mix of humor, history, and philosophy. Because this is a conversation, we do not have background music. Fear not, however, this podcast is not about me, but I received so many messages asking where I have been and what I have been up to, that I decided to start back the podcast with something more personal. You can hear this podcast on all podcast platforms, including Spotify. Thank you for listening! If you want to show some Love for it, please consider giving it a like, a repost, a share, or a review on iTunes. And get ready: new meditations and episodes are on the way.

By request, I am creating more interviews with performers, producers, and other artistic professionals who are living a life of pursuing their dreams. In this episode, I sit down with Spiral, of spiralcircusarts.com, and discuss many topics ranging from her origin story to her use of Visualization to push her career. Spiral is without any doubt one of the founding "Mothers" of the hoop dance explosion of the early 2000's. Although she has taught flow arts, she is best known as a performer. In 2008-09, Spiral attended circus school at NECCA in Vermont to become professionally trained in several circus arts. She is currently based in Berlin, with an upcoming performance contract on the GOP Variete circuit throughout Germany. We Discuss: Her Origin Story When She Decided to go for it Persona Artistic Commitment The Highs and Lows of performing Pay vs. Exposure How she responds to setbacks **Visualization** Her thoughts on creeper guys Her Spirituality and many more things. https://www.spiralcircusarts.com https://www.facebook.com/spiralcircusarts/ As usual, thank you for your support!
