Heart of the Art Club - Curating a season
Join Clare Watson, Artistic Director of Black Swan, as she discusses with you the process of curating this year's season 'With Love,' for you our audience.
The word ‘curation' is derived from the Latin word meaning ‘one who takes care of souls’. Clare will share with you some of the great joys and challenges of the curatorial process at Black Swan. You’ll hear about the collaborative and iterative process of research and selection that aims to take care of our artists and audience. We’ll consider the role and responsibility of Black Swan as an active participant in the cultural conversation - locally, nationally and globally.
We’ll reflect on Black Swan's repertoire - in 2021 and throughout our 30-year history. We’ll discuss the Canon. We’ll talk about commissioning new work. And we’ll consider what you want to see on our stages into the future.
