Spring Forward's podcast series

Spring Forecast gives you a taste of the special initiatives developed by Aerowaves under the Spring Forward umbrella, as well as diving into some of the many fascinating themes explored by the artists. You can hear women’s stories of how to dance joyfully into maturity, gain perspectives on putting politics into performance, and find out about life on the island of Ireland through dance.

Spring Forecast is a strand of Aerowaves’ new podcast series, our way of telling the world about contemporary dance across Europe, discussing wider topics around art and life, and demystifying the choreographic world.
