Episode 24: Tina Tarpgaard – Vår Dag

We chat to Tina Tarpgaard about her latest work for Skånes Dansteater, ‘Vår Dag’. Tina is a Danish choreographer and founder of Recoil performance group based in Copenhagen. In this episode, she talks about making the durational dance experience that is ‘Vår Dag’; how we need to value a broader spectrum of dance; and the energy she gets from meeting people and doing dance in different social contexts. Keywords for this conversation are: joy, locality, value, people, and of course dance! ‘Vår Dag’ premiered on 28 November 2021 and will be performed on tour spring 2022. ----- Host: Kit Brown, dancer, Skånes Dansteater Guest: Tina Tarpgaard, choreographer Editors: Kit Brown, Samuel Denton, dancers, Skånes Dansteater Jingel: Anders Ortman
