We Could Break Performance - James Knott and Vanessa Godden
We Could Break Performance Episode 3, featuring Erika DeFreitas, touches upon artists making mess with paint tubes vs painting with the body, why Tanya Mars is an icon not to be crossed, putting your teeth through pain for the art, and why is it always on butcher paper…
We Could Break Performance is a podcast by Vanessa Godden and James Knott hosted by FADO.
We Could Break Performance investigates the question:
How do we evaluate the substance of tropes enacted in performance art?
Each episode of will We Could Break Performance will feature a local performance artist and ourselves in conversation, to help us tackle our dilemma and provide perspective on the values of performance art tropes that we may share or disagree on. Does performance go harder if the performer gets harmed? Or is that negligence in disguise. Is endurance awe-worthy? Or is it sometimes used to unpoetic ends? Does nudity really bare all? Perhaps by the end this series’ run, we could break performance.
