The Beyond Darkness Dialogues Beyond Darkness

BEYOND DARKNESS had the pleasure of talking to Nana-Francisca Schöttlander. She is a performance and visual artist who works at the intersection of performance, installation and conceptual art. Her work is often durational and involves immersive strategies and serial formats. Nana-Francisca predominantly works site-specifically with a co-creational approach to the site and the beings in it.

We thank Nana-Francisca for this inspiring dialogue and hope you'll enjoy it too.

Nanna Hanfgarn Jensen and Nadja Mattioli, the creators of the Beyond Darkness Podcast, are at The Danish National School of Performing Arts to come into dialogue with lighting designer, teacher and “lord of darkness” Michael Breiner.

In this episode we ask Michael about his interest in darkness and about his artistic research which entails storytelling and dialogues in the dark. He talks about darkness as a creative space, a space for non judgemental encounters and about darkness in quantum physics and technological future scenarios.

Enjoy!
