Conversations for stories of practice on movement, mindfulness, the creative process, and social justice happen around creating meals. As I slice, chop, and prepare a meal, thoughts for the next podcast and blog sometimes come while spicing and marinating dishes. As an educator and choreographer, the creative process for me begins to stir in the kitchen. Welcome to the podcast "What Stirs" I am your host, Dr. Desiree Cremer, the Cooking Choreographer.
