Peak Performances Podcasts

PODCAST: THE TALKING CURE, conversations with Jedediah Wheeler.

The Talking Cure” are informal conversations between Montclair State University’s Executive Director for Arts + Cultural Programming Jedediah Wheeler and innovative artists and administrators from PEAK Performances' local and worldwide community. This series of podcasts highlight issues that expand our appreciation of the contemporary performing arts experiences as told by creative practitioners.

When looking at each work in the 2019/2020 PEAK season through the multidimensional optic of language, consider that each event is in some way singularly influenced by the metaphor.

Language is culture Learning a new language to make new art. Dancers internalize language. Vanishing voices. Dance vocabulary Diversity is cultural language Old language for new sounds. His unique language was not heard in his lifetime A new language emerges from old words An original dance voice goes quiet Visual digital language Politics of language Theater without words
