From daily habits and creative influences to rest, risk, and personal growth; they reflect on how connection and self-awareness shape both the work and the artist. In a thoughtful and light conversation, they explore empathy as a skill that underpins collaboration and communication across movement and performance. Alongside this, they share glimpses of the everyday, from morning coffee rituals and the quiet satisfaction (or resistance) of making the bed to time spent cooking and even a bit of tennis, revealing how these small, human moments contribute to a more sustainable and grounded creative life.
