LOUISE ORWIN: A podcast by SPILL Festival

A podcast series by SPILL Festival

This podcast series features conversations with artists and makers of all kinds that SPILL has presented, worked with or admired from a distance. 

In this, our first episode of the series, Robin is in conversation with London based performance artist Louise Orwin. Louise visited our venue the SPILL Think Tank earlier this year, to present a work in progress screening of a documentary film based on her experiences of touring her live performance, FameHungry. Louise has described FameHungry as a ‘helter skelter nosedive into the TikTok universe’, asking how performance art can compete in the digital age.

Topics covered include the attention economy, social media in comparison to film and television, what it’s like to be mentored by somebody younger than you, fame on TikTok, censorship on TikTok, and how to avoid dystopian thinking about our present cultural moment.
