Beyond Boundaries: The Multifaceted Journey of Samø Soto
Join us for a revealing conversation with Samø Soto, a professional who has masterfully navigated the transition from B-boy to Stuntman while challenging industry perceptions about artistic identity.
In this episode, Samø shares the emotional complexities of expanding beyond dance—the guilt, the external perceptions, and the struggle to be seen as multidimensional in an industry that prefers singular labels. Despite his passion for choreography and battling still burning bright, he's determined to prove his commitment to stunts while advocating for a world that embraces versatility. 
What you'll discover:
<ul>
<li>The internal conflict of pursuing multiple passions while fighting against binary job labels</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>How dance fundamentally prepared him for stunt work through adaptability and quick choreographic thinking</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>His journey from being the "weakest link" in crew battles to finding his unique contribution through dynamic movement</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Why dancers have the "biggest cheat code" in entertainment with unprecedented access across production departments</li>
</ul>
This conversation reveals how dancers occupy a position in the entertainment hierarchy not practiced often—a "hallway lined with doors" offering opportunities to explore lighting, wardrobe, stunts, and beyond. Samø's story is a powerful testament to creative evolution and finding strength in versatility.
