Dance Reflections is a weekly Friday podcast with Peter Mills and Yari Stilo, centred on conversation, shared practice, and taking time to look back in order to think forward. The series reflects on recent episodes, past experiences, and ongoing questions around dance, life, and practice. Through talking, occasionally dancing, and revisiting shared histories, Dance Reflections creates a regular space for continuity, response, and staying in contact across distance.
Dance Reflections sits alongside two other podcast series:PETER, dance with…, released every third Monday, where Peter invites a guest to dance one of their practices  and reflect on it together; and A Day In Dance with… where Peter and Yari reflect with a guest about a day in dance, and DANCE WORKSHOP, released on the Mondays in between, a series of short audio workshops exploring dance through imagination, movement, and curiosity.Watch videos of all Dance Reflections Episodes here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5iebzO4vouz_45v7u7SeYn6fpgp7uN2m

In this workshop, we explore the question “Why dance?” by deliberately moving away from movement and finding our way back to it through a chain of material transformations.
Starting with five minutes of automatic writing, we select five words, translate them into everyday objects, compose those objects into a sculpture, transform that composition into bodily positions, draw those positions, invent and describe a creature from the drawing, create a costume for it, record a movement video, meditate with the image, and finally return to writing. Each step reformulates what came before into a different medium—without needing to know why or where the process is heading.
Through this sequence, we explore what follows us between materials, what gets lost or carried across, and how dance can emerge through text, objects, drawing, fabric, sensation, and imagination. The workshop asks what happens when we stop looking for the next logical step and instead allow unexpected reformulations to guide the practice.
Ultimately, it is an inquiry into the materiality of dance, expression, and the conceptual containers different forms create for us—and a playful attempt to discover why we return to dance at all.

Questions Explored:
What is the materiality of dance if its expression can happen through so many different mediums?

What stays with us when we reformulate something across different materials?

How can unexpected reformulations free us from our own expectations?

How do different forms, text, objects, drawings, costumes, act as containers for understanding our dance?

What happens when we use scores and instructions to surprise ourselves rather than reach a predetermined result?

Why do we return to dance at all?

A day in dance with PER SACKLÉN, Peter and Yari
Dance Reflection is a weekly Friday podcast with Peter Mills and Yari Stilo, centred on conversation, shared practice, and taking time to look back in order to think forward. This guest series extends that reflection by inviting dance artists and practitioners to recount their yesterday, a day in their lives, tracing what they did from beginning to end. Through this simple structure, each episode opens a conversation into the textures and rhythms of living with dance.
Across the course of a day, a wide range of activity comes into view: rehearsals, teaching, creating, resting, travelling, organising, or simply noticing. Moments that might otherwise seem peripheral become part of a broader understanding of practice, revealing how dance is carried, interrupted, adapted, or sustained.
The day becomes a way of approaching larger questions: what it means to work with dance, how a practice continues over time, and how it moves through different contexts, demands, and conditions. Whether the day is full or uneventful, structured or improvised, it offers a situated perspective on a life in dance, where practice is not separate from daily life, but continuously shaped within it.
