Guests - Amanda Nicole DiTullio and Daniel Longo

Hosted By - Courtney Ortiz and Lesley Mealor

In Episode 111 of Making The Impact - A Dance Competition Podcast, we are tackling a huge topic - shock value and triggering subject matter in the competitive world. Joining us on this journey are dance educators and judges Amanda Nicole DiTullio and Daniel Longo to investigate the issues surrounding presenting this type of work at dance competitions.

Topics Include:

• Possible reasons why choreographers are putting more and more triggering statement pieces on stage
• Options for subject matter for choreographers to consider other than triggering and traumatic events 
• Ways that we as judges can express our opinion on the mic in a manner that will be received by a choreographer

*Trigger Warning - this conversation mentions suicide, self-harm, and trauma. Listen with care.*
