A Good Yarn - Nancy Black

Hailing from the USA but an Aussie through and through, Nancy Black has tread the boards as an actor, writer, dramaturg, educator producer and director for over 50 years. Nancy has been with Blackhole Theatre Company in Melbourne (Victoria) since 2001 when she directed 'Caravan' at short notice. Since then, she's taken Blackhole to new heights, with traveling shows and collaborations all over the world. Nancy has lead an extraordinary life not without its challenges, but she speaks with such grace and by gosh can she tell a story!
In this episode, Nancy and I discuss 'Blind', a collaboration with renowned Brazilian artist Duda Paiva. We talk about her work with The Victorian Opera as well as the incredible number of projects that kept her occupied during the darkest times of the pandemic. As an experienced director of puppet theatre, I ask Nancy what she looks for in the puppeteers she works with and she elaborates on her process of directing through collaboration and the splicing of form and genre in her work.

This is the final episode of our first season. We'll be back on World Puppetry 2021, with Season 2, Talking Sock International.
