In this episode, Performance Curator Victoria Mohr-Blakeney interviews Hugh MacMillan and Rob Steinman of Old Men Dancing. Old Men Dancing will be featured Public Energy’s 22nd Emergency Festival.
Emergency #22 showcases and celebrates new performance work by Peterborough-area artists. For 20+ years, Public Energy has made the Emergency Festival the cornerstone of its support for local artists creating new work. More than 200 performance works have been premiered through Emergency; many of those have developed into full-length pieces by the area’s best contemporary dance, theatre, and interdisciplinary artists. Artists showcased in Emergency are chosen in two ways: through a curatorial selection process and through an open call.
Theme Song: Damned be this Transmigration by Rob Fortin featuring vocals from Susan Newman and Em Glasspool
