THEIR STORY
After tangential journeys as students and professional ballerinas, Shelby Elsbree and Jessica Cohen crossed paths at a pivotal moment of transition — a time when they dared to leap beyond their dance careers to pursue life chapters beyond the barre. Forging new professional tracks through higher education and navigating new stages, their friendship grew with the kind of closeness only known by two women who’d spent decades nurturing uniquely specialized and competitive dance careers. Over time, mentoring close friends and listening to their community of artists past and present, they came to realize and acknowledge the gap in the performing arts industry around cultivating total wellbeing. They saw a common thirst for mind/body balance and shared a yearning for meaningful support both in the daily artist grind— and in envisioning/preparing for life beyond it. They created Artists Becoming with a shared mission to elevate standards of well-being across the performing arts industry, one conversation, practice, and empowered choice at a time.

A relevant and responsive solution to growing calls for systematic change concerning student, faculty and professional well-being across studios & stages, Artists Becoming was created by Artists, for Artists, at a time when the industry—and the talent that fuels it—has never been more threatened.
