The artist's voice -Podcast

The Artist's voice is a platform for artists to talk about and showcase their form of art. Inviting all artists to express their love for what they do and use this platform to give an insight into their world. All dancers, choreographers, teachers, musicians, singers, composers, creators of art; this is the place to show and tell.

The Artist’s voice

I believe in the importance of creating awareness and showing support for the many creative individuals and organisations who are fighting to create and envision a future where Arts and culture remain important and relevant in our society.

With this project, I want to give artists a louder voice and a platform for them to express themselves as individuals and to share their inspiring stories and perspectives. The arts have contributed a significant amount to the evolution of humanity and society, and we should not forget the individuals who have devoted their lives to the arts; nor should we disregard the artists of today.

I also hope to indirectly contribute to educating the younger generations of the significance of the Arts. The Arts have been somewhat neglected within the educational system. I believe all forms of art are a perfect foundation from which to build a greater understanding and tolerance of each other and an understanding of the value of all forms of art in society.

Melanie Day, Founder & Creative Director, developed a profound love for Jazz Dance early on, influenced by renowned artists like Lynn Simonson and Katiti King in NYC, and Dollie Henry, Jacki Mitchell, and Jason Pennycooke in London. Her extensive international training included mentors from the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, shaping her style and technique. She honed her skills as a Dancer/Dance Captain on Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, gaining diverse market insights and mastering various dance styles while traveling the globe. Between contracts, she embarked on projects across the UK and Europe, showcasing her choreographic talents in musicals like BEATLES-THE MUSICAL and FLASHDANCE.

As a vital member of London's 'BOP – Body of People,' Melanie choreographed for regional theater shows, charity events, and community projects throughout Europe. Her expertise led her to judge prestigious dance competitions like the Dubai International Dance Competition and Dance World Cup Spain. She's performed in productions like SPAMALOT and currently participates in Musical Productions with Landesbühne Oberfranken since 2017. Melanie has also graced TV and film screens, most notably in SKY TV's BABYLON BERLIN.

She shares her passion by conducting regular classes and workshops across Germany and Europe, staying true to her lifelong love affair with the stage since she first stepped onto it at the age of 5.
