My guest today is dancer, choreographer, and model G’bari Gilliam, aka GQ. G’bari is one of the most talented dancers I’ve ever seen, and he absolutely lights up a room whenever he takes the stage. This is why he’s always in demand and has an impressive list of credits that includes work with Billy Porter, Bad Bunny, Disney, and Tyler Perry. I was really excited that he found the time to stop in for a conversation and a drum dance improvisation.

FACT CHECK
During the conversation I mistakenly attributed a quote to Stravinsky. The correct quote and attribution is: “Music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance; that poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from music." —Ezra Pound
