DancePod with Skånes Dansteater Skånes Dansteater

Internationally renowned Norwegian choreographer and theatre director Jo Strømgren has created over 200 productions. His latest work for Skånes Dansteater, 'The Dropouts', is a chaotic circus, full of flawed characters. Anything seems to be possible, but everything goes wrong. 
Podcast host Kit Brown, one of 'The Dropouts' dancers, talks to Jo about his career, about making strange ideas accessible and taking the audience on a weird ride. 'The Dropouts' is a colourful and fast-paced piece full of unexpected twists and turns and, of course, sprinkled with Jo's absurd humour.

‘Because we’re curious’ is a series of interviews with dancers about curiosity. Is curiosity a simple delight in small discoveries or the incendiary desire for an imagined future? Is it a chain of momentary fascinations or a lifelong and stubborn investigation? We want to learn more about curiosity by digging deeper into what could, should and does make dancers curious.
This podcast is a collaboration between Tanzkongress 2022 and ‘DancePod with Skånes Dansteater’ – a podcast created by dancers. It was born from a desire to hear the conversations happening at the heart of creative processes; to open up and demystify them for wider dance audiences; and to celebrate the knowledge generated by dance and dancers.
The ‘Because we’re curious’ series consists of 6 episodes. (Episodes 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34.)
