Season 1
Victoria Hunt
Bonus episode — with the authors of How to Play in Slow Time
In this episode dancer, choreographer, and director Victoria Hunt delves into the creativity of movement and mental imaging. They tell us about connecting to spiritual beings through their work, which emerges in a codependent and intertwined way with the body’s movements, and which are tied to Māori energies of mauri (life force) and whakapapa (genealogy).
In this special bonus episode the authors of How to Play in Slow Time offer insight into their own creative practices and how these approaches have evolved in the wake of researching their book. They also reflect on the interviews in this podcast series, pointing to some of the unexpected convergences and resonances that have further opened out their understanding of creativity as a practice.
Welcome to How to Play in Slow Time: Interviews on Creativity. Each episode interviews an Australian-based artist and unpacks their process of making—from the first seed of an idea, to its final form and audience reception. We showcase how these makers not only approach creative problem solving differently, but think differently, across their creative fields. You might imagine this podcast is a toolkit of different ways to make space for creative possibility. We hope that the ideas from these interviews spark new approaches and practices within your own fields and set you up for creative flourishing. In this trailer you’ll hear a snapshot of each of the interviewees featured in season one—a taster of episodes to come. We hope you’ll join us in the coming weeks for this exploration of How to Play in Slow Time.
