Favorite Stories:

  • Tony Nominee Reactions - I have had the pleasure of covering every Tony Awards season since 2011 and one of my favorite parts is hearing from the nominees just moments after they find out that they ARE nominees.
  • Theatre Queens - When I'm not at a Broadway show, you'll find me at home, catching up on the latest episodes of RuPaul's Drag Race. I've had a blast chatting with many of the queens who call theatre their first love.
  • Broadway Jukebox - I love a good playlist and I find myself making them OFTEN. I've curated over 100 musical theatre playlists for BroadwayWorld (my personal favorite is "Female Anthems of Broadway"). Give them a listen and follow BroadwayWorld on Spotify to find out what I come up with next!
  • Broadway By Design - I created this series after realizing how little information is shared about the theatrical design process and it has become one of my favorite ongoing features.
  • Next On Stage - Working on this project and having the opportunity to spotlight so many talented young people from around the country has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career.

BWW Exclusive: Daily #MobilityMinute with Mark Fisher Fitness Trainer Harold Gibbons- The Wiggle Butt!
May 12, 2020

Actually called an 'Alternating Hip Sit', the goal of this exercise is to practice shifting stance from side to side. It sounds simple, but it takes a lot of focus on mind-body connection, making it perfect for a movement meditation while you wait for your coffee to brew. The goal is to shift a?oeinto your hipa?? and tune in to your hamstrings, inner thighs, and outer glutes. Reaching with the opposite hand while fully exhaling really helps turn on the obliques to help find a balanced position, and wakes up any of those muscles that you might not have connected with.

Mark Fisher Fitness's Steward of Strength Harold Gibbons is here to revisit the hip flexor stretch with the Couch Mobilization. Using the couch to elevate the foot increases the amount of stretch on your quads, meaning that when you tuck your hips into the position we call 'Sad Dog' (posterior pelvic tilt) and squeeze your butt muscles, you should get a great stretch on your hip flexors. 3-5 breaths per side, every hour or so, should help keep your hips loose and limber.
