  The Vault Sessions Ep. 3: Dave "Minstrel" Sterenchock

  Sep 28, 202621 min

  Dave Sterenchock is a songwriter and storyteller who turns personal experiences into honest, relatable music. His songs explore love, heartbreak, relationships, and the complicated emotions that come with trying to make sense of them. With a candid and often humorous approach to songwriting, Dave isn't afraid to tackle the realities of love and loss. His song "She Doesn't Know Where My Heart Is" captures the frustration and disillusionment of a relationship that has lost its connection, blending vulnerability with a sharp sense of wit—including the memorable line, "but my cardiologist does." Dave's music reflects the ups and downs of relationships through straightforward lyrics and genuine emotion. Whether he's writing about love, separation, or the feeling of being misunderstood, his songs offer an authentic look at life, relationships, and everything in between.

Juliet Loranger is a movement educator, coach, and small business owner who has been teaching and cultivating movement practices in downtown New Bedford since 2009. Her work explores the science, social impact, and creative possibilities of yoga, somatics, and sports, while educating both local youth and adults. She also serves as the head field hockey coach at Fairhaven High School. Juliet's passion for movement has recently expanded into Move Back Home , a collaborative performance art and somatic movement project created alongside local youth from the nonprofit she founded and elders in the community. Blending interpretive dance, movement education, and performance, the project explores the connections between movement, creativity, community, and different generations. For Juliet, movement is about more than the final performance. It is about the process of learning, creating, connecting, and discovering what the body can communicate. #MoveBackHome #MovementAsArt #SomaticMovement #Yoga #InterpretiveDance #PerformanceArt #MovementEducation #CommunityArt #NewBedford #NewBedfordMA #LocalArtists #ArtsAndCulture #CreativeMovement #YouthArts #CommunityConnection

  Podcast Ep. 240: J.J. Richards

  Sep 1, 202653 min

  JJ Richards is a photographer whose creative journey has been shaped by a lifetime of travel, service, and a desire to share positivity through images. Originally from New Zealand, JJ took an unconventional path after completing school. Rather than immediately attending university, he joined the army, where he spent 12 years in service. Following his military career, JJ joined the United Nations as a telecommunications technician and went on to spend 30 years working in peacekeeping operations around the world before retiring in 2020. His career gave him the opportunity to travel to more than 65 countries, experiencing different cultures, communities, and landscapes along the way. Those experiences have helped shape the way he sees the world—and, ultimately, the way he approaches photography. JJ was first introduced to photography by an uncle who taught him film photography in the 1970s. Although he stepped away from photography for many years, he eventually returned to it and rediscovered the joy of being behind the camera. Today, photography is less about business for JJ and more about connection, relaxation, and exploration. He enjoys getting outside for photo walks, combining creativity with the simple pleasure of discovering something worth capturing. In a world where negativity can often dominate the online conversation, JJ uses photography as a way to spread something different: positivity. Through his work, he hopes to share moments, perspectives, and images that encourage people to pause, look around, and find something good in the world.

  Podcast Episode 239: Colin Williams

  Aug 4, 20261h 7m

  Welcome, Colin Williams , who was our guest on Podcast Episode 224 . Colin's memories of his time at and association with SMU (Southeastern Massachusetts University) were enhanced by his delight in working in and around, as well as being surrounded by the University's Paul Rudolph architecture. Colin Williams was the co-chairman of the SMU Concert Series , and included finding art majors to design handbills, posters, tickets, and backstage passes for his directed concerts in the auditorium, the big parties in the campus center, and the 3000-seat gymnasium . These events were an unforgettable 4-year experience. He believes there was an intersection of SMTI , SMU , and the Swain School of Design , which has had a long-lasting effect. There is a culture of musicians and artists here, where "the embracing behaviour of many talents continued to be characterized by expressive and collaborative instincts." The South Coast is what it is due, in part to its historic and maritime presence and its cultural vibrancy. Colin Williams spoke with The Artists Index Podcaster, Max Wickemeyer , and shared more of his love of the South Coast, his talents and memories of the halcyon days of SMU, and so much more. Colin F. Williams Dartmouth, Massachusetts 02748 Email | Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube NOTE: A selection of Colin's poems is in the image gallery.
