The Compass, a podcast dedicated to the stories of working actors, writers, directors, designers, dancers, musicians, composers, and playwrights, welcomes dancer, choreographer, and teacher Chelsea Ainsworth for episode 121.
Created by actor Leah Walsh, the podcast documents the lives of artists navigating the waters between art and commerce. Each week, Playbill highlights Walsh’s latest episode with industry professionals who share their own stories about making art, making a living, and maintaining inspiration.
Ainsworth, who is among the founders of Arts On Site, a multidisciplinary arts organization that supports New York City artists through performance-based programs and community building events, shares her experiences working in modern dance, starting a non-profit, and sticking to a mission statement.
