Nancy Neyhart

Sadie interviews interesting people for Socially-Distant Networking, and today's conversation is with Seattle-based aerialist and coach Nancy Neyhart.

Nancy Neyhart began training in 2004, with early training in corde lisse, circus trapeze, rings, tissu and lyra. After years of studying various apparatus, Nancy’s first love remains her true love – the lyra. She has taught at the Circus Arts Institute in Atlanta under the guidance of Carrie Heller, and at Seattle's Versatile Arts.

Lola LeSoleil

Sadie interviews interesting people for Socially-Distant Networking, and today's conversation is with Lola LeSoleil. We'll talk about legitude, stillness, act creation, costuming, performing and festivals, and more.

A little about Lola: She's celebrating her 10th burlesqiversary, which is adjacent to her human birthday! The day she graduated and had her student showcase performance, Talloolah Love sang Happy Birthday in her Marilyn Monroe style. Since then, she has gone on to headline and win awards all over the place, and anyone who sees her perform appreciates her energy and poise - and her sense of humor.

Check her IG at @Lola_LeSoleil and her website LolaLeSoleil.com. If you're interested in taking classes from Lola, Burlesque 101 online hosted by Metropolitan Studios: Thursdays 7:30p. https://bit.ly/Burlesque101LolaLeSoleil

Christy Smith

Sadie interviews interesting people for Socially-Distant Networking, and The Enrichment Project founder Christy Smith is fascinating.

Sadie interviews interesting people for Socially-Distant Networking, and The Enrichment Project founder Christy Smith is fascinating. Christy revels in music from around the world, rejoicing in any chance to dance – even those 45 seconds alone in an elevator. You might say she moves to live, writes to understand, and breathes to get by. A passion for the tarot began with her grandmother's training at an early age, and she has deepened her journeying practice through shamanic and reiki training. In 2011, pursuing her creative muse through mazes real and imagined, Christy asked a group of women to participate in The Enrichment Project. Polishing their stories into radical rituals for creative living is altering her path through this labyrinth called life.
