NOT Episode EIGHT
-

By:
A long pause. A phone that needed Face ID. And a second espresso shot that may or may not have had enough coffee in it.
NOT Episode EIGHT picks up right where the technical hiccup of Episode SEVEN left off — and turns it into a philosophy. Leave it. Don't reshoot. Don't apologize. If you missed it, you missed it.
Derrick shares a story from his days as Artistic Director of a pre-professional dance company in New York City, where he made a decision that changed how he showed up on camera forever: be exactly who you are in the room, whether the cameras are rolling or not.
He's bringing that same energy here.
In this not-episode:
- Why the long pause stays in — and what that decision really means
- The plan: publish all 10 episodes unedited, all at once, before the intensive starts
- A story from directing a dance company and deciding never to reshoot a scene
- Why "messy, not clean" is actually the whole point
100% real. Not going to be different. Not going to pretend. Not going to apologize.
