KUNST n' Natalie Wong - Finding Your Voice in the Professional World
About this podcast
KUNST n’ all is your deep-dive dance podcast, where we go beyond the stage and behind the scenes of the dance world.
Hosted by Lorenzo Alberti, Nastazia Philippou, and Martin Balaban, the podcast brings you honest, unfiltered conversations with the people shaping dance today: artists, choreographers, performers, creators, and thinkers.
What happens behind the scenes? Who are the people behind the art? And what changes when we start asking the questions that usually stay unspoken?
From creative processes and big ideas to pressure, passion, breakthroughs, challenges, and everything that happens when the curtain comes down, KUNST n’ all explores both what we see and what we don’t.
No scripts. No right answers. Just real people, real stories, and conversations that go beyond the performance.
