A podcast on the future of dance and performance.

Berlin-based performance artist and dance writer Beatrix Joyce explores how digitalisation changes the way we create, experience and engage with dance and performance. Together with invited guests, she delves into the new utopian possibilities that the performing arts may have gained with increased virtual inter-connectivity while also looking at what live art forms may have to lose.

EPISODE 1: MARTINA RUHSAM 
In this episode I speak with performance scholar Martina Ruhsam about the thematisation of non- human entities in contemporary dance, how human beings can already be considered as cyborgs and how, sometimes, virtual presence can be experienced as more intimate than a physical encounter.

EPISODE 2: MÁRIÓ Z. NEMES
I talk with Hungarian poet Márió Z. Nemes about his text “Digital Eschatology” in which he draws parallels between digitalisation and religion and reimagines the body as a vaporous data cloud.

EPISODE 3: JACOPO LANTERI
Curator Jacopo Lanteri and I discuss the ins and outs of streaming live art, performative ways of adapting to the internet and Lady Gaga’s digital dramaturgy.
