Ep.82: Dr Dorita Hannah: Independent Academic, Interdisciplinary Designer - “I think of the space as a co-player” (Audio)

Dr Dorita Hannah is an independent academic and trans-disciplinary designer based in Aotearoa / New Zealand whose expertise lies in shaping contemporary cultural environments: particularly theatre architecture, public space and urban scenography. She has published on Performance Design and Event-Space with her latest co-authored book Perform_Design_Act coming out in the new year. Hannah’s ‘critical spatial practice’ involves devising and directing exhibitions, installations, performances, feasts, symposia and workshops. These have gained design awards and been regularly published and internationally exhibited.  Her current research engages with decolonial theories and ‘performative spacing’ to acknowledge diverse communities and challenge familiar Western models of public architecture. https://doritahannah.academia.edu         “ATTENTION SPOTIFY LISTENERS: IF you want to WATCH this with VIDEO, you can also subscribe to our video version: https://open.spotify.com/show/5e9KnBRZdjUTXTvCe6Nrqm?si=6639537c61044396” @stagelync The StageLync Podcast is a branch of our larger StageLync Community.
