The Detroit GURL

Today I am joined by a dear friend and brilliant artist - Barbara Selinger is a choreographer, performer and educator. She is Artistic Director of DDCdances, a company she co-founded in 1980. She has choreographed and performed since 1973, creating more than 100 major works for DDCdances and other companies. Barbara is the only Michigan dance artist awarded six Creative Artist Grants from the Michigan Council for the Arts and Cultural Affairs to create, perform and produce her work. Barbara’s choreography, celebrated for its humanity and ability to stimulate the senses through visually striking images, has been presented throughout Michigan and in Detroit, Chicago, New York City and Toronto. Barbara has more than 30 years experience in higher education where she mentors students pursuing a career in the arts.  

Listen along as we talk about the success and longevity of DDC, her creative process when working with dancers, upcoming projects and we even reminisce a bit about my time with the company 13 years ago :). Such a fun episode !
