Episode 2: Samara Hersch and Gosia Wdowik
In episode 2 of the 2023-season of the SPRING in het Diepe podcast, host Luuk Heezen starts a conversation with theatre-makers Samara Hersch and Gosia Wdowik. Australian maker Samara Hersch’s production It’s Going to Get Dark premieres at SPRING. The work She was a friend of someone else from Polish maker Gosia Wdowik has its Dutch premiere at SPRING. The makers discuss their own productions, and also talk about how theatre can be used to give certain groups a voice in society and to start conversations about urgent themes.
Episode 3: Lucy Wilke, Paweł Duduś, en Kim_Twiddle
In this episode, Luuk talks to Lucy Wilke, Paweł Duduś, and Kim_Twiddle from SCORES THAT SHAPED OUR FRIENDSHIP, which will have its Dutch premiere at SPRING 2023. SCORES THAT SHAPED OUR FRIENDSHIP is an award-winning performance which covers important themes like friendship, caregiving, and the way the bodies of the two performers (Lucy, whose body is often seen as handicapped, and Paweł, who self-identifies as queer) are perceived in society. During the short podcast, these themes are discussed. Lucy and Paweł talk about how they have been friends and have worked together for a long time, and the unique process of ‘inviting’ Kim into their friendship.
Episode 4: Ligia Lewis
We need to confront our history of racism and colonialism, not ignore it. This is what choreographer Ligia Lewis’ works are about. During SPRING 2023, she presents two works: Still Not Still, about the history of non-Western groups, and A Plot / A Scandal, about historical and modern (political) scandals. In this episode, Ligia talks about these productions, and the themes that are important to her and which she uses in her work.
