This week on the podcast, I am joined by the tremendously talented Ben Knapper. We talk about his growth as a company dancer with BalletBoyz, learning to explore the emotional world of a dance work and tap into what we're feeling in performance. We discuss how he's taken these skills in building a character through movement into his role movement directing the play White (Other). Ben is also exploring new possibilities as a performer in Christopher Mathews' immersive installation at Sadler's Wells, my body's an exhibition. I enjoyed this time with Ben digging into the processes and headspaces that drive dance performances that really transcend physical technique.
