Nora Sharp

Hey Process Fam!   Here we are volume3, episode 3. Y'all. today's episode is full of those good good vibes because my homie Nora Sharp is here.  

Nora's work spans dance, storytelling, comedy, and film, sometimes through solo performance and sometimes through directed collaborations.  Personally, I like to say they are a movement comedian and truth teller.  I’ve been lucky enough to work with Nora on several projects on and off the stage and Nora is invested in Chicago dance.  I appreciate that they are not afraid of digging deep and doing the work to address whatever fuckery is happening.  

I’m so excited to talk with them about their latest work The Real Dance: A Micro Reality TV Show.  If you haven’t watched- pause this podcast right now, go to their website, watch and come back and listen to this episode. It's 20 minutes of pure dance and movement bliss.  Nora had lots of reasons to create this work but my favorite is “My excitement about forms of entertainment (such as reality TV) that can frame experimental or process-based work in a way that changes the tone, lowers the stakes, and expands the ways we’re invited to get invested in the work.”  I told, Nora is not afraid to ask the hard questions and do the work to find out the hard answers.  

Our co-host for this episode is my good Sis, Tia Greer.  Tia is one of the most realest and kindest humans that I know.  She is close Fam and I’m thankful for the Black dance connection that brought us together many years ago.  Tia moves and speaks from true honesty and always with true clarity.  It’s beautiful to witness and also experience on stage with her.
