Released on Earth Day 22 April 2023, the first episode of our Trad Dance Cast was inspired by the Mother Earth stories discussed by all five guests while shedding light on their involvement in the creative process of our new screen dance production To Begin the Dance Once More. Mother Earth Stories from Egypt and Scotland. We investigate how screen dance - an exciting, powerful genre predominantly employed in contemporary dance, could also bring traditional dance to wider audiences and practitioners.

Guests in this episode are curators Wendy Timmons and Iliyana Nedkova, choreographer Vincent Hantam, poet Donald Smith and filmmaker Marlene Millar.
