Angela Joy loves music, and is supremely interested in using it to tell stories through movement. She takes silliness pretty seriously and dreams of dancing in a site-specific show at a Trader Joe’s.

On this episode of Art on the Wire, Angela Joy shares about how her challenging experience changed not only the way she practiced her art for over a year, but also altered the way she views creativity and art. Join us to explore the emotions Angela wrestled with when she was facing the potential end of her performing career and how she continued to find fun, joy, and laughter even when the world was turned on its head.
