OM DENNE EPISODE
Welcome back to a brand new season of Lead & Create! We're starting with a big question: what is in your power?
As independent choreographers, it’s easy to feel powerless — caught between shrinking funding, uncertain futures, and working environments that don’t always support us. But what if the power we long for is already within reach?
In this episode, Neus reflects on:
– Why the current landscape makes artists feel small
– How to rethink leadership and authority without recreating old hierarchies
– The power of tender, intentional leadership
– What Kasia Urbaniak calls “relational power” — and how to use it
– A short writing exercise to help you shift unbalanced dynamics

We also share details of the Rethinking Leadership Picnic on 25th July in London — a chance to gather, share food and ideas, and reimagine what leadership in dance could look like.
Whether you’re leading a company, running a project, or just trying to find your next step — this one’s for you.
🎧 Listen now and start the season with clarity, confidence, and (urgent) optimism.
