In this episode, Alicia talks about that place in the middle or the process where things NEED to be allowed to be messy. She goes from her kid's school Art Show to her own experience making her thesis project in graduate school to watching Idina Menzel in the new musical Redwood last year and how ALL of these very different productions had to experience a messy middle and overcome it.
The Messy Middle is that space in the process when you may know where you are headed, but its not showing up yet in performance, on paper, or in your art work. This is not an end point but rather a test of your own devotion to your work. Take the challenge. Go through it rather than avoiding it.
Alicia also wants to invite you to join her for the second segment of Creative Rhythms; The Art of Pause, Play, & Epiphany which is all about how devotion/dedication supports or sabotages our creative process. If you are interested in learning more about this program, please visit:

In this solo episode, Alicia speaks about the importance of being in the body when we create. So often, our society prizes the gifts of the mind but forgets the wisdom of the body. When we stop separating them into two parts of us, we can integrate the whole body at once and utilize all of us as we create our creations.
This episode comes in response to studying the head center in Alicia's class Creative Rhythms. If you'd like to join the next three week segment of Creative Rhythms, we'd love to have you:

In this solo episode, Alicia examines the human design charts of the actors from the movie WICKED, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande-Butera. Alicia has been obsessed with the movie since before it came out and even more after seeing it. When she saw the two main actors' human design charts, Alicia realized how they were truly made for these roles and designed to work together.
If you are interested in looking at your own creative process through the Human Design lens, allowing more alignment into your practice and therefore more breakthroughs, join Alicia in her Course: Creative Rhythms; The Art of Pause, Play, & Epiphany! Class starts March 10th & the early bird bonus ends March 2nd! Check it out: https://square.link/u/D1GqlHsI

In this episode, Alicia talks about her favorite part of the creative process, the epiphanies that surprise and delight all of us and give clarity about the direction our work is going. Alicia also talks about how she creates space to allow more epiphanies to happen by allowing herself to be in the process of experimenting and playing as often as possible.
But it's not always easy in the "real" world to make time for creative play. Producing a final product becomes our obsession as artists. But what if this thought is actually stunting our creativity?
Alicia has created a course, Creative Rhythms; The Art of Pause, Play, & Epiphany that is meant to support you in forming a habit of play and authenticity. On February 24th at 9am pst / 12pm est, Alicia will host a free intro class. If you are interested, please sign up:

In this episode, Alicia considers the language we choose to describe what we do. Creativity, creative process, and artistic process seem to be used interchangeably, but is this really true? In attempting to answer, Alicia poses more questions. Listen in and consider your own relationship to the language you use around your art making process.

In this solo episode, Alicia makes a case for Play as some of the most important work we do as artists. By play, she's talking about experimentation, exploration, and a letting go of preciousness that can come with the push of trying to MAKE something of importance. What if play is the most important thing?

In this short solo episode, Alicia reveals her sadness about NOT seeing Kamala Harris elected our next president. She has a post-election reminder: Your commitment to your creative process IS a political statement. Make your art but even more importantly, value the time, space, not knowing, and lack of productivity needed to start a creative process and see how this goes against everything society expects us to value. We've got this.

In my conversation with Leslie Seiters, we talk about the process of making the piece, 'everotherwise'. A consistent process that started more than three years ago, Seiters describes her self as an in-director, noticing the tangents and pulling out fragments from an ocean of material.
She writes about her decision to finally share this work, "It is long-delayed and too soon, emergent and well-established, known and what-is-it-ish? Prominent elements have faded, accidental happenstances have become central, and traces of our long process are in and out of focus."

everotherwise interrupts an ongoing flow and assembles fragmented information into an âotherwiseâ weave. Dancing is tangential, coincidental, and nearly recognizable creating distance from patterns of meaning, knowing and expectation.

Eric Geiger's writing about the work:
"PLEASUREHOOD is a dance directed and performed by Eric Geiger with collaborators and performers Jordan Daley and Nick McGhee. Through PLEASUREHOOD I have been asking myself- how can I create more space for what I donât know, donât understand, or have not yet experienced? How does the work, the choreography, the âwhatâ and the âhow,â create more space for otherness, more space for sensing through my moving self, our moving selves? How can we sense more through the work? What if the choreography holds the question- how can we create the conditions in order to sense more, feel more, drop into pleasure more?Radical TendernessRadical IntimacyRadical SensuousnessThe dance and the dancing is tender, intimate and sensuous. As Jose Esteban Munoz talks about in his book Cruising Utopia: The Then and There of Queer Futurity, PLEASUREHOOD offers us an opportunity to find ecstasy together. Can how we are with each other be the material of the work? Can tenderness be the choreography? Can intimacy be the material weâre tending to?What have we been doing in the process of PLEASUREHOOD? Weâve been organizing, reorganizing, and disorganizing ourselves in order to arrive in our dancing? Weâve been wildly moving through space, messing with time, destabilizing our habitual patterns and making room for risk taking and aliveness. Weâve been shaking and shaking it up. Weâve been finding value in being in it together while simultaneously listening to our responsive/responsible selves. We've been making something and giving it away simultaneously. Weâve been experimenting like children playing scientist, who mix ingredients together just to see what will happen. Or, like alchemists, making something common into something magnificent. Weâve been practicing generosity together. Weâve been falling in love.PLEASUREHOOD is âofâ our queerness which is different from âaboutâ our queerness. And, our queerness informs all aspects of this dance. We are Queer and the three of us, together, exist in multiple intersections of identity, race, age, and privilege. My desire is that through the ongoing practice, through the dancing, through this kind of togetherness, we transcend who we might believe we are. And itâs different each time we are together, in each moment, in each place, with each witness, each time. PLEASUREHOOD offers us an opportunity to question and transform who we are rather than expressing who we are. Through the performance of PLEASUREHOOD we are continuing to figure it out.With PLEASUREHOOD Iâm interested in attempting to create an arena of thought. With each attempt at dancing PLEASUREHOOD Jordan, Nick, and I step into uncertainty and vulnerability. It is inevitable for compassion and empathy, through this vulnerability, to become part of the workâs lineage. Paying attention to the process changes the process. The work does not attempt to be representational. It does not depict compassion or empathy but generates a context in which the value system of the process and its lineage is the actual desired change. Through PLEASUREHOOD we become permeable to the world. That which increases our capacity as artists also increases our capacities as human beings."

Last week, I performed a dance piece that I had been researching for three years, but even so my self doubt became a problem for me to overcome. Was I prepared? Should I be doing more? Is what I'm working on worthy of being seen? All questions that creeped into my mind once I decided to share my work in performance. It was worth taking some time with these fears and questions, because in the end, I was able to make magic.
Listen to this episode for all of my pre-performance thoughts.

I recorded this episode on Tuesday, August 27th - the 6th anniversary of my mother's passing. In this solo episode, I speak about how I'm no longer trying to avoid feeling my grief and instead am finding ways to process this emotion into expression...into Art. What is your medium for expressing your emotions artistically? If you don't know, maybe now is the time to consider honoring your creativity.
