Episode 88: Dustin Harvey of Secret Theatre Is the Yoda of the Industry. We Chat About Using Public Spaces for Stages, AI In the Arts and How Pushing Boundaries Has Led to Special Experiences

Dustin Harvey approaches his work with a wide lens, considering the philosophical “whys” and experiential outcomes. His audience is often incorporated into the performance, connecting for moments, feeling both present and pleasant. We learn about how sports offered an early-influence of challenging himself and how lessons from coaches and athletics are instilled in the creative process too. Secret locations, touring, grants, experiments and creating tension in the mainstream all packed in this episode too!
