Episode 4
As part of out unique online training Towards Vivencia, once a month we invite dance-artists we admire to talk about Peak Performance Presence, how to sustain a long and successful career in the arts and what are the books and other resources our guests feed from.
In this fourth episode we had a conversation with Paolo Mangiola, artistic director of Zfin Malta, the national company of Malta. In this episode we talked about:
- Why dancers are the main asset of any dance company
- Interdependency
- What is the role of a national dance company and why they should exist
- A dystopian future where Earth’s rotation slows down and gravity increases exponentially
- What does Paolo Mangiola look for on a dancer during an audition process
- Presence, humanity and honesty in performance
- What Zfin Malta next season looks like
- What happens to artists when the work you want to make has been made by Boris Charmatz already
- How all the negative answers we receive throughout a lifetime equipped us to go further and further
- How do you know whether a piece has changed your life…
Resources we mentioned
- 21 lessons for the 21st century by Yuval Noah Harari
- 1984 by George Orwell
- Strange Days by Kathryn Bigelow
