Conversations around the disturbances of performance making.

A nerdy podcast made with the love of performance, dance, theatre and live arts.

We wish you a disturbing time.

 

Some shows, though excellently executed, evaporate from memory as soon as you rise from your seat and get that first whiff of post-show wine. Others stay with you forever. Something happened.

Disturbing Dramaturgy seeks to unpack the significance of this something through conversations with performance makers and thinkers.

Disturbing Dramaturgy features artists who managed to disrupt thoughts, shift perspectives and engage bodies with their work. Annette and Nina speak with live performance artists around the world about their work and how they did it and what they find disturbing.

Disturbing Dramaturgy is an archive of creative processes, artistic journeys and performance making that shifts boundaries.

Talking about mind-blowing performance  

Disturbing Dramturgy is a exploration of “magical moments” in dance and performances that we have experienced.

The participants are a mixture of Danish and international artists, who work on a greater, international scale, or small, local scales. We have worked with, produced or seen the work of all the artists. The experiences are all first hand.

Disturbing Dramaturgy is created by Annette Max Hansen and Nina Larissa Bassett.
