53. Management, Money, & the Long Game with Garen Scribner
<p>In this episode of The Stage Rightside, James sits down with longtime friend and manager <strong>Garen Scribner</strong> for a candid conversation about life after dancing, career pivots, and what it really takes to build a sustainable creative life.</p><p>Garen shares his path from the stage to management and producing—through graduate school at Harvard, rejection, reinvention, and ultimately founding a practice built on long-term thinking and trust. Together, James and Garen unpack the difference between agents and managers, how artists can advocate for themselves, and why “success” doesn’t always look the way we’re told it should.</p><p>They also talk honestly about James’s own crossroads as a principal dancer preparing for what comes next, the challenge of making time for choreography while still performing, and the freedom (and fear) of imagining a future beyond the stage. Plus: dance film, illegal documentaries, lemon trees, and why having the right people in your corner changes everything.</p><br/><br/>Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/the-stage-rightside-with-james-whiteside/donations'>https://redcircle.com/the-stage-rightside-with-james-whiteside/donations</a><br/><br/>Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a><br/><br/>Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>
