## Resource

In this episode of the Shapes in Motion Podcast, Sarah Perry and Stephen Moynihan chat about something every freelance artist knows all too well - rejection. Whether you’re an actor, dancer, choreographer, creative ...rejection is a constant presence in our industry. They share their own experiences and reflections, and also hear from four incredible creatives who open up about how they’ve coped, managed and made sense of rejection in their own careers. From journaling and physical practices to leaning on community and social support, they each bring their unique perspectives and stories. Together, they explore not only the emotional toll rejection can take, but also the ways in which talking about it openly can help inspire a stronger sense of belonging, resilience and understanding within our creative community.
