Ep. 4: Contemporary Dancer on Growing Up in Purity Culture

Becca Hoback is the premiere solo contemporary movement artist based in Nashville, TN. In this episode, we talk about her growing up as an evangelical Christian in a small city. Becca expresses her deep desire to do everything beyond perfectly into "extra credit" territory. After graduating and moving far from home, Becca went through her coming of age experiences. We talk about this, her continued processing of growing up in purity culture, and how this inspires her work. Hoback just performed the piece called Mellow Drama at the Kindling Arts Festival in Nashville. I wish you could all have witnessed this beautiful piece in which she shared much of what we discussed in the podcast but in a much more poetic way. The work was beautiful and incredibly well put together in the theatrical-dance style which has become her signature style.
