Step into the world of Robert Garland, renowned dancer, choreographer, and Artistic Director of Dance Theatre of Harlem. In this episode, we explore his dynamic career journey—from his early days as a dancer to his current work in choreography that continues to break boundaries in the world of ballet. Robert Garland shares his creative process, the importance of storytelling through movement, and how dance has served as both expression and revolution in his life. As the first official Resident Choreographer at Dance Theatre of Harlem, Garland has made significant contributions to ballet by blending classical techniques with contemporary themes, creating works that reflect cultural, historical, and political narratives. In addition to his choreographic success, Garland has received widespread acclaim for works performed by companies such as The Royal Ballet and New York City Ballet, among others. Whether you're an aspiring dancer, choreographer, or simply passionate about the arts, this conversation will inspire you to see the world in motion. - - - You Can Make A Difference: I have spent most of my life telling stories because I believe they can transform our lives and heal the planet. And while you may know me as the creator of Roseanne, Home Improvement, and other milestones from my career, I hung up my hat in Hollywood and started writing stories that encourage kindness, inspire hope, and celebrate goodness I believe stories connect us. Instead of drowning in an ocean of despair, I want to offer tiny islands of hope where readers can stop for a few minutes and think about the goodness that still exists in the world. This pursuit has led to me towards a passionate project and book called Glimpses - a collection of personal essays and spiritual musings that I hope will open hearts, stir thoughts, and trigger conversations about life, love, and all that spiritual stuff. The best part? All of the proceeds from my books, lectures, and seminars will be donated to children’s charities. Get your copy here (https://shorturl.at/EFV28)
