Arts
A series of podcasts with Rosie Kay (choreographer and Artistic Director of Rosie Kay Dance Company) in conversation with figures from the academic, military and media spheres. What does it take to achieve success? Is failure essential to it? How do we become resilient? What are the new challenges to the 21st Century artist? Or indeed to the 21st Century scientist, academic, producer? Are we prepared to face them? The Future-Proof Artist is an arts talk show bringing together interesting, successful and diverse figures from the arts and sciences to talk about success, failure, resilience, barriers and how to succeed. This podcast is designed for dance and culture professionals and students to view future-proofing through the lens of dance. Episode 2 features Rosie Kay in conversation with Harry Parker.
