In this episode, Alicia speaks about her delightful experience attending an intimate sharing of a work in process trio performance. She was invited to witness a WIP showing of the dance theatre piece, Best Worst Advice, and left satisfied and amazed that she was one of only a few to have witnessed THAT performance. "I highly recommend that if you are in San Diego on July 12 or July 19, you go see it for yourself." - Alicia

In this episode, Alicia talks about that place in the middle or the process where things NEED to be allowed to be messy. She goes from her kid's school Art Show to her own experience making her thesis project in graduate school to watching Idina Menzel in the new musical Redwood last year and how ALL of these very different productions had to experience a messy middle and overcome it.

The Messy Middle is that space in the process when you may know where you are headed, but its not showing up yet in performance, on paper, or in your art work. This is not an end point but rather a test of your own devotion to your work. Take the challenge. Go through it rather than avoiding it.

Alicia also wants to invite you to join her for the second segment of Creative Rhythms; The Art of Pause, Play, & Epiphany which is all about how devotion/dedication supports or sabotages our creative process. If you are interested in learning more about this program, please visit:

In this solo episode, Alicia speaks about the importance of being in the body when we create. So often, our society prizes the gifts of the mind but forgets the wisdom of the body. When we stop separating them into two parts of us, we can integrate the whole body at once and utilize all of us as we create our creations.

This episode comes in response to studying the head center in Alicia's class Creative Rhythms. If you'd like to join the next three week segment of Creative Rhythms, we'd love to have you:
