The Injury Episode P1: Craig Hall, Sara Mearns, Thomas Forster, Isabella LaFreniere, Alexa Maxwell, Cameron Gomez
In this special episode of Grace & Form, we’re doing something a little different. This is Part One of our two-part deep dive into injury - a universal experience for dancers, yet one that’s rarely spoken about with honesty and care.
In this episode, we hear voice notes and reflections from dancers around the world, each sharing what injury has meant in their lives and careers, from the first moment it happened to the long journey of recovery that followed.
Featuring:
Alexa Maxwell - New York City Ballet soloist
Craig Hall - former NYCB soloist and current repertory director
Sara Mearns - NYCB principal dancer whose career has redefined resilience and artistry
Isabella LaFreniere - NYCB principal dancer
Thomas Forster - American Ballet Theatre principal dancer
Cameron Gomez - physiotherapist trusted by some of the world’s leading dancers, including those at New York City Ballet
Indiana Woodward, Grace & Form co-founder and principal dancer with New York City Ballet, also shares her personal story — a look into what it truly means to recover, rebuild, and return to the art form you love.
Stay tuned for Part Two, where co-founder Saskia Gregson-Williams will share her own experience, and we’ll explore the culture of injury through the eyes of directors, physiotherapists, and other leading voices shaping dance today.
This episode is a reminder that even in stillness, artistry continues, and that sometimes, the body’s greatest lessons come in the pause.
