What happens when a dancer becomes disengaged in the studio? Rather than simply giving up on the relationship, what if we looked at the conditions we are creating as choreographers and teachers?In this episode, Neus looks at Peps Mccrea's research on motivation from the lens of the creation process, exploring the relationship between motivation, success and failure, and the role we play in helping dancers and collaborators feel that their effort is worthwhile. She looks at why success is subjective, how clear and achievable goals can support motivation, and why recognising progress over time matters.She also explores how we can reframe failure as an essential part of the creative and learning process, distinguish between individual and systemic barriers, and approach feedback as an investment in someone’s development rather than evidence that they have done something wrong.At the heart of the conversation is a question: How can we create studio environments where people feel challenged, supported and trusted to do their best work?Ready to create better working spaces and creative processes?
