The New Wild West: managing street and visual theatre in challenging times

Episode Summary

In this rip-roaring episode of KultuuriReflektor we talk to Hannele Känd, Chief Operations Officer at Noorsooteater, and Dan Renwick (aka Dan le Man) performer, manager of Heldeke theatre club and organiser of Tadaa Festival and the Tallinn Fringe Festival. Hannele and Dan talk about how they ended up doing what they do and what their thoughts are on programming local versus international acts. We also explore the idea that the performing arts and visual theatre could learn a lot from street theatre in the new conditions forced upon us by the COVID crisis. Hear about how the future is like the wild wild west and whether traditional theatre post-COVID is in danger of becoming more expensive and more elitist. Host of the podcast is EAMT alumni Michael Haagensen.
