Episode 3: "small talk" w/ Jordi Gali
For the third episode of the Ravnedans podcast we return to its original format "small talk" in which benni catches up with the artists of the festival for a casual chat about their work. This first "small talk" is with Jordi Gali to talk about his performance of "Ciel" that was shown as part of the festival's evening on the island Bragdøya. Their talk touches on Gali's interest in working with objects as a way of creating language and finding meaning in seemingly simple actions as well as performance as ritual and the task of the dancer in relating to an audience.
