Panel Discussion – Transition, transnationalism, and the operatic present: THE NOSE in conversation
10 June 2022, 18:00 CET / 12:00 EST
BORN is pleased to announce its first public event of 2022: a panel discussion on operatic transnationalism and cultural collaboration involving creators of the South African Dance | Rap | Opera, The Nose (2021).
What does transnational collaboration with South Africa look like today? How can we approach the challenges posed by (post)colonial attitudes, the pandemic and changing working structures in the performing arts? How do questions of genre, heritage, and agency influence collaboration and artistic empowerment in current social and political contexts?
Together with collaborators from The Nose, South African choreographer and director Jessica Nupen discusses the challenges faced by transitional artistic work that tackles the complexity of culture, class, feminism, power and the corruption thereof.
Moderator: Lena van der Hoven
Panelists:
Jessica Nupen, Artistic director and choreographer
Oscar Buthelezi, Assistant choreographer and dancer
Pumza Mxinwa, Singer
Siphesihle Mdena, Singer
