Description

In this episode of The Lonely Chapter, I sit down with Shaun Dillon — a contemporary dancer and choreographer known for his bold, uncompromising style and his ability to turn raw human instinct into powerful movement.

Shaun opens up about how dance became an outlet for his anger as a teenager, why embracing vulnerability and chaos has shaped his creative voice, and the lessons he’s learned about burnout, balance, and the danger of tying your identity entirely to work.

We also explore his passion for education, the importance of giving young people purpose, and how dance can transform lives far beyond the stage.
