Pushing the boundaries

Dunedin born dancer/choreographer Carol Brown has won two major European awards; the NESTA (National Endowment for Science, Technology & the Arts) Dream Time Award in the UK, and the Ludwig Forum International Art Prize for Innovation in Germany. Brown is renowned for her ground-breaking approach to her medium, which is typified by collaborations with artists of other media and a blurring of traditional dance boundaries. “I see theatre space as both a physical stage for the meeting of bodies and a site for the intersection of bodies of thought,” she says.
