I'd say that a professional dancer might have one or two "big" jobs in their career. While a dance career is fluttered with many different kind of jobs, its rare for a dancer to have one that checks so many of their desires off their list. Sleep No More was that job for me.

By the end, I performed 10 roles and over 1,200 shows. I left literal blood sweat and tears in that building and loved every moment up to the end.

Performing 6 nights a week is no easy feat but in that space I learned how to be a better performer, cast mate, partner, and leader.

In this episode, Brandon breaks down his main takeaways from 6 years in Punchdrunk's Sleep No More in NYC.

Theres a new place to ask Brandon your questions and it's right here in the show notes!

In this episode, Brandon talks about starting your career in your 30s. The question reads:

"I am starting from square 1 at the age of 34, but I want to give it my all. Is it too late for me? I'm moving to NYC later in the year and was beginning to look into what would be a good training course plan while I'm there. I have ideas but if there are any episodes you recommend I listen to or any advice you'd like to give I'd really appreciate it!"

The truth is, auditions are set up for magic to happen, not necessarily to show someone at their best. If they were, every audition would be multiple days to show growth and consistency. Unfortunately, the time and money to make that happen just doesn’t exist in our world at the moment.

Although they aren’t my favorite pastime, the reality remains that auditions are the barrier between me and the jobs I want most of the time. Therefore, I have to find a way to make them work for me. Luckily, auditioning is just a skill we need to add to our tool belts.

In this episode, Brandon breaks down the three best practices to get better at auditions:

1. Go to more auditions
2. Use class as a way to practice picking up and performing material quickly
3. Find ways to step out of your comfort zone (new classes, environments, experience)
