Choreographer JoAnna Mendl Shaw on Amplifying Creativity Through Movement

We'll explore how movement, dance and performance can lead anyone to new insights about listening, decision-making and the creative process with our guest, JoAnna Mendl Shaw, choreographer and artistic director of The Equus Projects. Plus, we'll discover more about The Equus Projects' inter-species performance works with horses – where listening, leadership, negotiation and adaptability play out with very real consequences.
