Cool...Calm...Conversations..with ...CLEO
Hosted by trezie grimes, Cool...Calm...Conversations..with ...CLEO offers a rare and intimate look into the creative world anchored by Cleo Parker Robinson. As the founder and artistic director of an ensemble approaching its fiftieth year, Cleo brings a lifetime of perspective to these dialogues, but the discussions extend far beyond her own remarkable story. Each episode connects with a diverse range of voices from across the artistic spectrum-choreographers, musicians, theater makers, and the innovators behind the technical magic that makes live performance possible. You’ll hear from people who work both in the spotlight and in the hidden corners backstage, offering a holistic view of what it takes to create and sustain art. The tone is exactly what the title promises: a series of genuine, thoughtful exchanges that feel like pulling up a chair in a quiet studio. This podcast moves from the local roots in Denver to national conversations, exploring how artistic communities are built and the ideas that fuel them. It’s less about formal interviews and more about capturing the flow of insight and shared experience between artists who have dedicated their lives to their craft. Tune in for a sense of connection and the quiet inspiration that comes from listening to masters discuss their work, their challenges, and the enduring power of the performing arts.
