This week on The Brainy Ballerina Podcast, I'm joined by the incredible Tiffany Rea-Fisher: Artistic Director of EMERGE125, award-winning choreographer, and a true force in the dance world. Tiffany shares her journey from growing up as a competition kid on the West Coast, to discovering modern dance at SUNY Purchase, and now celebrating her 10th season leading EMERGE125, a contemporary modern dance company in New York City. Tiffany's perspective on leadership, from servant leadership to a more collaborative, transformative model, is something every dancer (and human!) can learn from. I am incredibly inspired by the way she builds a company culture rooted in both rigor and joy, where dancers feel seen, valued, and empowered to bring their full selves into the room. Key "Pointes" from this Episode: * What Tiffany looks for when hiring dancers * Her concept of "disruption through inclusion" and why diversity is a creative superpower * The role artists play in shaping culture and reminding us to be brave * How motherhood has influenced her leadership style and boundaries * Building a financially sustainable arts organization through challenging times * Why community is the key to longevity in the dance industry Connect with Tiffany: EMERGE125 WEBSITE: https://emerge125.org/ EMERGE125 INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/emerge125/ TIFFANY INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/treafisher/ Links and Resources: ORZA: Use code 'BRAINYBALLERINA' for 10% off: https://orzabrand.com/ Complimentary Career Mentoring Consultation: https://www.thebrainyballerina.com/career-mentoring Let's connect!
