Listen to our podcast featuring disabled dance artists Claire Cunningham and Tanja Erhart interviewed by Producer at Lublin Dance Theatre, Konrad Kurowski.

A performer using crutches leans in closely, forehead to forehead, with another adult performer in a tender moment on stage. A child sits nearby on a chair, watching. The scene is part of Claire Cunningham’s The Way You Look (at me) Tonight, performed at Southbank Centre’s Unlimited Festival.

How do you work towards building an international career as a dancer or choreographer? How do you develop successful connections with curators and programmers?

Listen to our podcast featuring disabled dance artists Claire Cunningham (Scotland) and Tanja Erhart (UK/Austria) interviewed by Konrad Kurowski (Producer at Lublin Dance Theatre, Poland).

Together they discuss how disability has been channelled through their creative practices, their different relationships to their bodies as explored in their work, and how their lived experience of disability shapes how they work with festivals and venues.

This podcast is part of Europe Beyond Access workshops with the Institute of Music and Dance in Warsaw.

Captions in English and Polish.
