S2 E6 This One’s for Teachers: Hidden Dynamics in Your Studio
Update: 2025-09-09
Description
Why do some student groups feel more motivated, engaged, and willing to take creative risks than others — even when you’re teaching the same curriculum? And as teachers, how much influence do we really have over those hidden dynamics?
In this episode of the Lead & Create Podcast (also available on YouTube), Neus Gil Cortés dives into the undercurrents that shape a classroom or studio:
How group roles and unofficial “leaders” affect behaviour
The power of social norms and how to shift them
Why clear definitions of success and expectancy matter
What teachers can do (and what’s beyond our control)
Drawing on her experience teaching since 2009 — from NDC Wales to Hofesh Shechter Company to the National Centre for Circus Arts — Neus shares practical insights to help teachers better understand and influence the learning environment.
If you’ve ever wondered whether group dynamics are fixed or whether you can actively shape them, this episode is for you.
