In this 4th episode of the 2nd season we have talked with Scott Jennings. Former dancer (but still collaborator) of Pina Bausch Dance Company.Together we talked about:- The healthiest way to approach auditions- Adding the humanity to the act of performing- What does it mean to exist in the space as a dancerSome quotes from our conversation with Scott:"in terms of skill or what I learned (from auditions): there is this thing of saying - this is me and this is what I have to offer, can we make that work, do you wanna work with me? "Reflection about the challenges of working for the Pina Bausch co: "It was pretty intense but fascinating" /"It was a new way for me to face that fear of going on stage with a different sense of uncertainty as it always was this strange thing of the first time of doing a piece (on the general rehearsal) it was facing all the elements for the first time and many times in front of people as well""I had to find a way of just being able to exist in those pieces (Pina´s) so I suddenly became fascinated with what it means to exist in a space, on how to connect to these very human things or personal stories and how do they sit in this role of performance, how do I exist there"Support the showSupport the show HERE
