03 Dec 256. Tracy Phillips: Humility, Hollywood, and The Roosevelt Hotel
This is Tracy Phillips on intuition, intimacy, and the art of holding things sacred.
In this episode, Dancer, Choreographer, Actress, and Director Tracy Phillips shares her journey from soloist to signature storyteller, revealing what it means to lead with subtlety in an industry that demands volume. We explore:
- The power of the barely-there gesture. How a flop of the wrist in Justin Timberlake’s “Suit and Tie” video captured JT’s attention, why film work taught her that centimeters matter, and what it means to perform with restraint when everyone else is performing at full volume.
- Down the Rabbit Hole at the Roosevelt Hotel. Why she spent years considering Alice in Wonderland before finding the right angle, how using Hollywood as a metaphor made a familiar story feel brand new, and what happens when you create immersive theatre in a venue that feels like it was waiting for you.
- The struggle with self-promotion. Why humility and mystery aren’t always industry-friendly traits, the internal battle of social media overthinking, and how being private about your process doesn’t mean you can’t be successful.
This conversation reveals what happens when you hold certain things as sacred, when you lead with subtlety instead of spectacle, and when you trust that the work speaks louder than the self-promotion ever could.
