Bridging the Gap with Scott Jennings. Dancing, devising and playing

In this 4th episode of the 2nd season we have talked with Scott Jennings. Former dancer (but still collaborator) of Pina Bausch Dance Company.
Together we talked about:
- The healthiest way to approach auditions
- Adding the humanity to the act of performing
- What does it mean to exist in the space as a dancer
Some quotes from our conversation with Scott:
"in terms of skill or what I learned (from auditions): there is this thing of saying - this is me and this is what I have to offer, can we make that work, do you wanna work with me? "

Reflection about the challenges of working for the Pina Bausch co: "It was pretty intense but fascinating" /
"It was a new way for me to face that fear of going on stage with a different sense of uncertainty as it always was this strange thing of the first time of doing a piece (on the general rehearsal) it was facing all the elements for the first time and many times in front of people as well"
"I had to find a way of just being able to exist in those pieces (Pina ́s) so I suddenly became fascinated with what it means to exist in a space, on how to connect to these very human things or personal stories and how do they sit in this role of performance, how do I exist there"
