A podcast about all things "immersive."
This week we are joined by the dynamic Achinta S. McDaniel, Founding Artistic Director of Blue13 Dance Company whose all new work Soliloquy: Immersive Experience comes to LA's Heritage Square Museum May 31 - June 2. This marks Blue13's return to Heritage Square after the triumphant Shaadi in 2021, a highlight of that year.
We get into the themes of the new show, how working in immersive & site-specific compares to other mediums for dance, and if her students at the Glorya Kaufman School of Dance at USC see the immersive world as part of their futures.
