Lead & Create

Lead & Create is a podcast for choreographers who are figuring it out as they go — leading projects, navigating uncertainty, and trying to stay creatively and emotionally afloat in freelance life.Hosted by Neus Gil Cortes — choreographer, dramaturg, and leadership coach — this series explores the real challenges of making work with others: fear, power, value, conflict, burnout, boundaries, and the invisible labour of leading.Some episodes are solo reflections, some are honest conversations with artists and thinkers. All of them ask: how can we lead with more care, more clarity, and less self-doubt?If you’ve ever felt like leadership was something you were expected to do without being taught — you’re not alone. Let’s talk about it.
