**Correction: #1 The festival was, in fact, about art and the fringe’s ability “to change the way we talk about health, illness and wellness . . . to make lives better . . . and inspire the participation of marginalised voices, inspiring new outlooks and more effective policy.” #2 Rosemary Waugh was the fourth speaker on Maddy Costa’s ‘Starring Your Pain’ panel, not Megan Vaughan.**

This blog was originally posted on www.noraresearches.com?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss. Between October 2016 and June 2017, Nora is visiting performance festivals, interviewing artists, meeting programmers and spending time together talking. During their research, they are investigating creative processes, alternative dance ‘company’ models and the agency and responsibility that come with commissioning, curating and casting. The motivation for this research is to expand their knowledge and reference base and, ultimately, find new collaborators. Nora Talks will act as part of their research, inviting those present to join the conversation, making dialogue an integral part of their exploration.
