Description: The Curiosity Series is an Arts Council podcast commissioned as part of the Council’s 70th anniversary celebrations hosted by writer, comedian and podcaster Maeve Higgins. In each episode, you’ll hear artists involved in music, dance, poetry, literature, visual arts and theatre in conversation with Maeve as they get curious about each other’s work, explore the integral role that creativity has played in their lives, and discuss the broader issues and themes that connect their art. In episode two of The Curiosity Series, host Maeve Higgins speaks to writer Mia Gallagher and dance artist Cindy Cummings about the nature of artistic collaboration. Both Mia and Cindy are committed to working collaboratively with other artists across disciplines in their own respective artistic practices and have done so for the past number of years. They delve into changes in collaborative practice in Ireland, the challenge of facing failure and mistakes when making art, and how to navigate fear and vulnerability in the creative process. In a lively and entertaining conversation Mia and Cindy tackle important shared themes surrounding their very different artistic practices with ease while also telling Maeve more about what they’re currently ‘tipping away at’.
