In this episode, Nicole Zizzi, dancer, choreographer, aspiring architect, mental health advocate and co-founder of the dance company, Evolve Dynamicz, joins The Okay Days to talk about authentic movement.
Through Evolve Dynamicz, Nicole uses dance and choreography as a platform to share and engage with personal stories to end the stigma around mental health. She is a mental health warrior who is learning to live with ADHD, PTSD, OCD, an eating disorder, and generalized anxiety and depression. This fall she learned that she is also autistic, and suddenly the things that she's silently struggled with all her life are starting to make sense for the first time.
We talk about how movement can support mental health, how her dance company responded to the pandemic and what authentic movement feels like rather than looks like.
