The SoPA Pod: A Podcast from DeSales University's School of the Performing Arts

Step into the rehearsal hall and pull up a chair for The SoPA Pod: A Podcast from DeSales University's School of the Performing Arts. This isn't a lecture; it's a series of conversations that happen in the wings, after the curtain call, or in a quiet moment before a big audition. Produced and hosted by three professors from the school, each episode of this podcast connects a current DeSales Performing Arts student with a working professional guest artist. The guests span the vibrant worlds of theatre, dance, and television or film, bringing a wealth of real-world experience directly to the microphone. Listeners are invited into an authentic dialogue where students ask the questions that matter to them right now, leading to discussions about craft, career paths, artistic challenges, and the personal journeys that define a life in the arts. You'll hear stories that are equal parts practical advice and personal inspiration, all grounded in the unique perspective of an educational environment dedicated to performance. It’s a chance to listen in on the kind of mentorship that shapes the next generation of artists, making each episode a unique blend of education, interview, and behind-the-scenes insight into the performing arts industry. Tune in to hear how these conversations unfold naturally, episode by episode.
