Performance Science is a podcast exploring the science of performing and the role of performance in society. It encourages us to think differently about the ways in which performing is part of our lives.
In the first season, we look at the wellbeing of performing artists through conversations with performers and those working across the creative industries. Specifically, we consider how the recent disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic has shed a light on the broader challenges of being a performing artist and ask what the future holds for the creative workforce.
