A SEENIQ PODCAST
A SEENIQ PODCAST
For anyone whose work depends on reaching people. And for anyone who simply wants to feel something real again.
If your work depends on genuinely reaching people or if you simply sense that something real has gone missing from the way we live and create this is for you.
The Artist Lens goes inside the practice of artists who have devoted their lives to a single craft. Dancers, choreographers, composers, light designers, perfumers. What they know about emotional resonance, collective feeling, living a creative life and designing experiences that genuinely land is the most useful and most overlooked knowledge available to anyone trying to reach another human being.
This Podcast will launch in English and expand to German for the Listener in the DACH Region.

Before the artist conversations begin, one solo episode. The condition of modern life, what art actually restores, and why the people who know most about moving another human being are not in boardrooms — they are on stages, in studios, in rehearsal rooms with nothing but their body and their craft.
This is for those who make their living through their craft, full-time in their practice.
Episode 2_ The Live Exchange: What Marketing Can't Manufacture
Release October 20th 2027
Luxury brands spend millions trying to create emotional connection. Most fail.
Why? Because genuine collective feeling only happens live, in a room, between real bodies and real presence.
In this conversation with Louiza Avraam, a contemporary dancer at the Opera Ballet of Flanderen, we explore the fundamental gap between art and marketing. What does the live body do that no screen or campaign can replicate? Why does authenticity move people more than strategy?
If you work in business or marketing and sense something essential is missing, if you've noticed campaigns get seen but never truly felt, listen to this.
Featuring: Louiza Avraam, contemporary dancer, choreographer, and teacher at the Royal Ballet of Flanders

Episode 3_ How to become the Artist of Your Life and What it means for Business
Release November 20th 2027
Marina Miguélez-Lucena has spent her life dancing professionally across Europe, choreographing award-winning work, and now teaching the next generation in Málaga, all while becoming a mother. In this conversation, she shares what it took to stop performing for external validation and start creating from her own truth, why movement unlocks what the mind alone cannot, and how small daily rituals keep her connected to herself inside a life with no stage left to perform on. A conversation about staying the artist of your own life and what that has to teach anyone who's stopped feeling present in their own.
Featuring: Marina Miguélez-Lucena Professional Dancer, Choreographer, Mother and Teacher

TWO AUDIENCES
FOR THE QUIETLY
SEARCHING
For those who want to return to themselves
If you sense that something real has gone missing — from the way you live, create or move through your days — these conversations will give you something back. A permission. A different pace. A door back into a part of yourself that has been quiet for too long.
FOR THE BRAND
DIRECTOR
For those whose work depends on moving people.
If you work in brand, communication or experience design and you have felt the gap between what you produce and what genuinely lands — these conversations will change how you think about your work. Not as theory. As the lived practice of people who have spent their lives solving exactly that problem.

Sarah Philomena Schmidt
I grew up inside a family of musicians and artists. Art was never something I went to see. It was the air I breathed.
For years I trained as a professional dancer, giving my body to a craft that demanded complete presence, every single day. Then I moved into the world of brand and business, working with agencies and companies to create narratives that were supposed to touch people. And I watched, from the inside, how rarely that actually happened.
The Artist Lens grew from that gap. Between what the world of business is desperately trying to create, genuine connection, genuine feeling and what artists have spent their entire lives learning how to make.
I built Seeniq around the belief that proximity to art restores what modern life takes away. This podcast is where that belief becomes a conversation.

The Artist Lens is looking for artists working in the living, sensory disciplines — dance, movement, sound, composition, light, scent, voice. If you have devoted your life to a craft and believe that what you create does something to people that nothing else can, we want to hear from you.
