"As a choreographer, I always was, let's say, scared of stillness. And now I could see that, I can trust a bit more this, this process of slowness or stillness."

Behind the scenes of Balkan Erotic Epic, an incredible creative team are bringing Marina Abramović's vision to life.

In this episode of Building Worlds, we focus on the worlds of dance, durational performance and intimacy co-ordination. How does choreography change for a durational performance? When performers are repeating the same motions for four hours, how can we check in and ensure their comfort?

Hear from Choreographer Blenard Azizaj, Assistant Choreographer Rowan Schratzberger, Durational Performance Director Billy Zhao and Intimacy Co-Ordinator Tigger Blaize on their experience and the expertise they bring to Balkan Erotic Epic.

Balkan Erotic Epic runs from 9-19 October at Aviva Studios. The installation version runs from 15 October.
