TENTANG EPISODE INI
Can you make art with squirrels? What happens when theatre exits the building? This episode discusses Ecoscenography and interspecies collaboration, ideas pushing on the boundaries of conventional theatre production and visual art. Artist and scientist Kristian Brevik challenges us to consider our relationships with the non-human creatures who share our world, and to see how art-making can contribute to a transformation in the dynamic between humans and our environment. Australian theatre designer and community artist Tanja Beer introduces us to her concept of Ecoscenography, which offers theatre designers a way to think critically about, and make practical changes to, the ecological and social impact of their work. Ian McFarlane, theatre designer and head of production for the River Clyde Pageant talks with host Jane Wells about how these material, social and ecological concepts are being realized in the annual production of the Pageant.
