BASE Podcast #12 - The Commercial Industry - Is the Casting System Broken?
Is the Casting System in the Commercial Industry Broken?<br /><br />Host: @mrjgraham<br /><br />Guests: @lilihidge_x, @erinjardine1 and @daxocallaghan<br /><br />It's been a while but we are back! We wanted to have a discussion on the state of the dance industry and particularly the casting system within the Commercial industry so invited @lilihodge_x and @erinjardine1 of @dancersnetworkuk on to speak with us. These 2 along with the team at DN have worked and fought for better treatment and rates of pay for dancers as well as being very successful performers in their own careers too. Joining on the pod is one of the co-owners of Base Studios, @daxocallaghan. Dax has been part of the entertainment industry for many years now and has seen it from multiple viewpoints as a performer, recording artist, choreographer and creative director. It's also a nice way to mark Base's 4th birthday as we hear about what it was like founding a studio and facing the challenges of the pandemic. We originally planned a conversation off the back of the Superbowl controversy in the USA knowing that there are identical issues here with big sporting events. However it turned more into an exploration of the contrasts between the TV, Film and Theatre casting processes and the Commercial industry process and the big differences between them. We look at the structures and the potential conflicts of interest and talk about changes that could and probably should be made. We speak about the Sole Representation model and how that would most likely be more beneficial for dancers and lead to more auditions. And we talk about the need for a structural and cultural reset when it comes to the commercial industry. All this and the conversation could have continued for far longer! This is definitely a topic worth revisiting but hopefully there is some good information being shared and it sparks further conversations and eventual change for the better🤞<br /><br />@basedancestudios

BASE Podcast #11 - EMA's Audition, Choreographers Feedback
2021 MTV EMA's Audition - Choreographers' Feedback <br /><br />Host: @mrjgraham<br /><br />Guests: @sharon.june and @niles82<br /><br />Not sure a podcast of this nature has been done before within the dance community in giving feedback to dancers which many would be eager to hear after an audition of such importance.<br /><br />In this episode of the BASE Podcast @mrjgraham is joined by Sharon June @sharon.june and Shaun Niles @niles82 to talk through their experience teaching the choreography at the recent audition for the MTV Europe Music Awards to be held in Budapest next month. Normally one of the biggest auditions of the year, it has extra significance being the first large-scale audition since COVID impacted the industry. This year they saw over 1,000 dancers over the course of 2 days. So we thought it would be great to hear from 2 of the team on the other side of the table to get their takeaways and critiques in the hope that dancers can gain some insight into how to audition more effectively and increase their chances of getting booked. Shaun choreographed the audition routine assisted by Sharon and we hear what they thought auditionees did well and areas where they could look to improve to show they're ready to work at this level. We talk through the differences between a class scenario and an audition one and what this means for how dancers should apply and conduct themselves. Lastly we round the conversation off with some tips to help prepare for the intensity of auditions of this scale and the work environment itself too. Big thanks to Sharon and Shaun. Its rare to get feedback after an audition and we hope this is helpful in getting people closer to where they wanna be.<br /><br />@basedancestudios

BASE Podcast #10 - Motherhood and Dance
Motherhood and Dance <br /><br />Host: @mrjgraham<br /><br />Guests: @patiencegop, @nikkitrow and @miss.muldoon<br /><br />In this episode @mrjgraham speaks with @patiencegop, @nikkitrow and @miss.muldoon about being mothers in the dance industry. We explore the idea of there being a stigma around the notion of motherhood within dance and what it means for a dancer physically, mentally as well as professionally. Our guests talk us through their experiences from the early stages of pregnancy to the post birth return to work and the challenges they faced. We hear about changes they would like to see made, particularly in people's attitudes towards mothers in the professional dance world. A big thanks to our 3 guests for sharing so much of their own experiences and as with all our topics there is always more to be said but hopefully this gets the conversation moving forwards.<br /><br />@basedancestudios
