Shobana Jeyasingh
Choreographer Shobana Jeyasingh on merging classical ballet and Eastern movement, and Eskgil Vogt on his new Norwegian film Blind.
Eskgil Vogt talks about his new Norwegian film Blind which explores boundaries of sexuality and voyeurism. Indian choreographer Shobana Jeyasingh discusses merging classical ballet with Eastern movement. Israeli choreographer Hofesh Shechter talks about disturbance, disorientation and loud volume in dance.
In Gaza we explore the poignancy of the territory’s only remaining grand piano as it undergoes repair. From Toronto we visit the Douglas Coupland exhibition. The prolific British-Indian musician Nitin Sawhney talks about a new instrument The Flow Machine. From France we get a literary postcard with the news in books from Paris with publisher Paul Fournel. Oscar-nominated actor Benedict Cumberbatch addresses the art of letter-writing.
